Hello Major Fans of How We Made Your Mother and welcome to another bonus episode!

We are hard at work on Season Two (which will launch soon), and we want to use this space to share some appearances of the team on other great podcasts. This week, we bring you Josh Radnor’s appearance on Life in Seven Songs.

What songs tell your life story? On Life in Seven Songs, we ask this question of some of the world’s most fascinating people. Through seven songs, guests reveal the milestones—and the music—that have shaped their lives.

This week, we Willkommen actor and musician Josh Radnor! Josh is best known for playing Ted Mosby on the hit sitcom How I Met Your Mother for nearly a decade. But that success came at an unexpected cost: an identity crisis that left him feeling trapped in a character he didn’t create. In this episode, Josh talks about his formative role as the MC in his high school’s production of Cabaret, his first “almost kiss” (soundtracked by Aretha Franklin), how psychedelics helped him stay centered amidst the whirlwind of fame, and the chance encounter that launched his second career as a musician in his 40s. Here are his songs.

Rocky Mountain High – John Denver
Respect – Aretha Franklin
Willkommen – Cabaret (Joel Grey, original cast recording) “Cabaret”
All I Want – Joni Mitchell
Delicate – Damien Rice
Tara – Dechen Shak-Dagsay
Cmon – Fred Again/Brian Eno
