S4 Ep12: Craig Thomas

My Favourite Elliott Smith Song

We're very happy to welcome Craig Thomas onto the podcast for the final episode of this season.
Craig is a writer and producer perhaps best known as the co-creator of the comedy, How I Met Your Mother, but he's written lots of other things as well, including for David Letterman, American Dad and Oliver Beene.
It was as a young writer living in New York City that Craig became a big Elliott Smith fan. And, in this interview, he shares a great story of hearing his song pick live during that period.
Hope you enjoy this chat with Craig and thank you so much for all your support during this season. We'll be back very soon.
