Brian Baumgartner Launching New The Office Podcast With iHeartMedia

The Office star Brian Baumgartner (aka Dunder Mifflin accountant Kevin Malone) is starting a new podcast based on The Office, which will be stream on iHeartMedia. Titled "The Office Deep Dive with Brian Baumgartner", the show will offer an insider's look at the making of the landmark workplace sitcom, from the unique perspective of the people who made the show. "The Office Deep Dive..." has already lined up major guests like series stars Steve Carell (Michael Scott) John Krasinski (Jim Halpert), Jenna Fischer (Pam Halpert), Rainn Wilson (Dwight Schrute), Angela Kinsey (Angela Martin), and series creator Greg Daniels.

2020 turned out to be a major resurgence year for The Office. The series was already pulling strong numbers on streaming, and making headlines for its controversial move from Netflix to Peacock in 2021. However, after the COVID-19 pandemic put the world into lockdown, and severely limited content viewing options, The Office once again offered fans a binge-worthy comedic escape. In many ways, the show's examination (and appreciation) of the mundanity of American corporate work life is even more precious now that millions of Americans are coming up on a full year of working from the home instead of the office. Perfect time for this The Office podcast to help us reflect.
