What challenges did Mandy Moore face during the wildfires?
To our That Was Us community, we hope that you are safe and well. The recent fires in Los Angeles County have been devastating. And our hearts go out to everyone affected, including our friend and partner in this podcast, Mandy Moore.
We wanted to explain that Mandy recorded the intro to this episode with Sid before the wildfires occurred. We're heartbroken for our L.A. family. And if you would like to join us in donating to relief efforts, we have a list of organizations and links pinned to our Instagram page at That Was Us. If you've been affected by the fires, we are sending you strength and resilience. Our hearts are with you. To the firefighters and first responders working tirelessly around the clock, thank you. God bless.
We are extending our hiatus one more week and will return with new episodes on Tuesday, January 28th. Thank you for sticking with us during this extended break. We will be back soon, ready to laugh, cry, and process life's ups and downs through This Is Us together. Until then, be safe, be well. We love you all. Also, just this morning, Airbnb, our partner on this podcast, announced that they are in partnership with LA211, and they are committed to providing free emergency housing to an additional 25,000 people impacted by the wildfires. There are still thousands of people who are displaced and desperately in need of temporary housing. For anyone looking to support Airbnb's efforts, there are two ways to help. Sign up to become an Airbnb.org host or make a donation to Airbnb.org. 100% of the proceeds will go towards connecting people to free housing. In addition to donations, spreading the word is just as important. We would love it if any of our listeners and beyond that would be able to share what we have shared with you.
We really appreciate Airbnb's support. So we support them in their efforts to help people in their time of need.
Hello, friends. It's Mandy Moore. Welcome back to a re-release episode of That Was Us. We today are going to be replaying one of my favorite episodes so far of the series, our conversation with Sid Khosla. Now, chances are, if you love our show, you may be aware, maybe not so aware, that a big part of that is Sid Khosla's incredible score. He was our composer. He wrote all of the original songs for the show throughout the entire series. He is just such an intensely talented human and wonderful friend. I was so glad to be able to chat with him. In this conversation, I remember vividly Chris mentioning how much he realized that the music made him feel safe while he was experiencing the show. In our conversation, Sid also talked about how he met Dan Fogelman, the creator of our show. They met in college and sort of the power of... Dan's strength to bring people together from all walks of life. Sid also made a record called Aerogram, which was about his family's journey, his parents' journey specifically from India to the United States in the late 70s and their experience as immigrants.
And he wrote this entire beautiful concept record all about that. Yeah. He talked about making music in his parents' basement and spending three days in the recording studio here in L.A. to make a piece that he eventually turned into. John and Glenn, who directed our pilot, were executive producers of our show, and Dan, and how that sort of, like, came to be this thread throughout the entire series of the show, and then... He mentioned that he doesn't feel like he's doing anything right when he starts a new project. He just sort of kind of like throws everything at the wall. I found the whole conversation just so heartening and so fascinating. He truly is one of my favorite people. I could have spent the entire day talking to him. He also treated us to a live...
um acoustic performance of one of his songs that was featured on the show just take a listen hear for yourself see for yourself you can also watch the the rebroadcast on youtube so yeah stick around stay tuned and we will see you soon happy new year
