Here on in Politic, we talk a lot about power, how it's built, how it's wielded, and how it shapes the world we live in.

And that conversation doesn't stop at politics because power, real influence, lives in culture too, especially the stories we tell.

Which brings me to the podcast we want to recommend.

How We Made Your Mother, now back for Season 2.

It's hosted by Josh Radner, yes, Ted Mosby himself,

and Craig Thomas, co-creator of How I Met Your Mother, one of the most beloved and quietly

revolutionary sitcoms of the last two decades. But this isn't just a nostalgia trip. It's an insider

look at what it really takes to get a show made in Hollywood, how you pitch it, how you

funny, wildly entertaining ride,

How We Made Your Mother is worth your time.

Follow and listen to How We Made Your Mother everywhere you get your podcasts.

premiered. I'm going to check the math on that. That seems wrong. Ten years since it went off the air.

And we thought that made this a perfect time to look back, see what the hell we did and why the show
