  • How I found this podcast

    What a great podcast, and a great trip down memory lane. I’m not sure how I found this podcast but glad I did! HIMYM has been a favourite show of mine for a long time. It’s comfort food. An old friend at McLaren’s pub. My hanging chad. My slutty pumpkin but mostly my yellow umbrellas. To relive all those moments and get BTS stories and interviews is amazing. Thanks Josh and Craig for bringing this to the world. Easily number 1 podcast on my rotation .

  • LEGEN-WAIT FOR IT

    I can’t believe this is a thing. 16 year old me is excited to listen to this. 23 year old me is excited to listen to this. Current year old me is excited to listen to this.

    Like Josh says in the first episode, I related to the character Ted so much. Always felt like I had ~too much~ hope, as the hopeless romantic and lover of life.

    Watching this show in good times and in bad, it’s been my solace and saving grace some days. I cannot wait to keep listening and so happy this exists!

  • Love HIMYM -but…..

    I really really want to love this podcast- but I don’t yet. I wish it was more deep diving - more interviews with people from show. More stories about the episodes. More did you know this was going on when we were taping this scene I love the show so much and have rewatched while working on things around house, taking care of laundry, cooking, or to unwind before bed. Love the stories at the beginning read from a fan. Than is nice.

It gave me some creative and financial freedom but made me feel collapsed into one identity.
