Josh Radnor

"When I write songs, I put on a miner's light and try to make it around the next corner."

Josh Radnor found fame playing Ted Mosby on "How I Met Your Mother," but he's also a terrific songwriter (and stage actor) with a new album Eulogy: Volume 1. Radnor stops by the podcast as we take a deep dive into his songwriting process. We talk about how his creative process as an actor intersects with his songwriting process, why he often starts with a lyrical idea  and not a melody, and why procrastination can be a very good thing. Oh, and how food poisoning can give rise to a great song.
