I force myself to listen to it because I'm such a huge fan of The Office but they make it unbearable sometimes

Angela Kinsey is OK but Jenna Fischer is terrible. They just ramble about random shite forever. If this was about any other subject matter they would have never got it off the ground.

They have about 20 people involved in the making of this thing and it still sucks. The only reason it does well I'm convinced is because of the show itself, period.

They try their best to their credit to stay out of politics but Jenna Fischer just can't help herself by going off on sexism rants and other political nonsense.

For those who listen, does anyone else feel this way?

It'd be better if they kissed

Yes. Tried to listen to it but had to give up because they are both annoying and talk about random BS I don’t care about. It’s unfortunate because when they do actually substantively talk about behind the scenes office episode stuff, it’s awesome. Just can’t get past those two

Why?

My wife listened when it came out and I told her she wouldn’t last 5 episodes

Why would you want to listen to two actors (who aren’t acting) talk about a show for 5 minutes and fill the rest of the show with pointless shite?

Yep. As much of a fan of The Office that I am, I just couldn't grind through more than a few episodes. It felt so canned and corny.

Why force yourself to listen to it? There’s so much content to consume now, there’s no need to waste your time with worthless content

Sounds like a ripoff of the Talking Sopranos podcast

It’s the Midwest accents that turned me off to it.

My wife was gifted the book they wrote that is basically the entire podcast but with pictures. Much better way of getting your behind the scenes Office fix imo.

When it first came out, I gave it a shot just because my love of the show. Only lasted a couple episodes, thought it was a tremendous waste of an idea.

Victory The Podcast is much better. They spend a ton of time talking about a bunch of random shite as well but it’s mostly them (Doug Ellin, Kevin Dillon, and Kevin Connolly) having a good time with unfiltered conversation. The Office Ladies is scripted, corny, and nauseatingly bubbly. Jenna Fischer, for as hot as she is, sounds like she’d be a real chore to live with and probably never wants to frick. Angela actually sounds like a good time

There's a bunch of similar podcasts. People trying to extend their fame by going over the show they were on but not really. It's lame 99% of the time.

One of my favorite podcasts, just some friends shooting the shite and talking about old episodes of the show. Also Doug seems to be hinting at something Entourage related coming but it’s probably him just blowing smoke

The Office gals were the OG rewatch podcast. Then came Sopranos and then that basically opened the floodgates.

I listened regularly but then stopped. I got through the first two seasons.

It felt like so little was actually about the episode.

I like the Always Sunny podcast. But they don't take it too seriously and usually just give some funny backstory on the episode.

Jenna comes off as smug and conceited at times. She tries to show dominance over Angela throughout.

I’m a listener and I enjoy it. Angela is delightful and the type of person is wan to meet in real life. Jenna not so much.

I’m really looking forward to the last season and bitch Pam. Can’t wait to hear the rationalization for that character arc and some womenz empowered bullshite. It should be comical.

I listen to it but Jenna Fischer seems like the worst. Her white knighting for literally everything Pam does is a terrible shtick.

Angela Kinsey seems great however.

I listened to it some but Jenna made me stop. Essentially, everything I hate about the office and specifically about Pam in later seasons is the real life Jenna coming through. She talks about how proud she is of the changes she brought to the character in later seasons. She talks about how poorly Jim treated Pam and how she is glad Pam found her voice. She even defends Pam’s temptation to have an affair with the sound guy because Jim is neglecting Pam.

Angela seems normal, pleasant and funny.
