Leading premium podcast network Audacy Podcasts today announced a strategic partnership with Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey to handle sales, distribution, and production for their award-winning, critically acclaimed hit series “Office Ladies.”
The show had previously been with SiriusXM since its launch in October 2019.
“Office Ladies” will move to Audacy on August 14, 2024, on the Audacy app and everywhere podcasts are available. New episodes will continue to be released weekly on Wednesdays. Listen and follow the show here.
On “Office Ladies,” best friends and former co-stars Fischer and Kinsey break down individual episodes of “The Office” and give exclusive, behind-the-scenes stories that only two people who were there can tell. Guests have included Steve Carell, John Krasinski, Rainn Wilson, Ed Helms, Kate Flannery, Ellie Kemper, Greg Daniels, B.J. Novak, Zach Wilson, Josh Groban, Ken Jeong, Jake Lacy, Craig Robinson, Tim Meadows, Creed Bratton, Bryan Cranston, Larry Wilmore, Will Ferrell, Bob Odenkirk, and Billie Eilish. In addition, Fischer and Kinsey regularly answer listener questions on “Office Mailbag” episodes and have recorded a special “Office Ladies Live” episode in front of a studio audience.
As part of the partnership, Audacy will also handle sales and distribution for “The Lazy Genius with Kendra Adachi,” which is part of the Office Ladies Network. On the weekly show, part systems expert, part permission giver Kendra Adachi helps listeners be geniuses about the things that matter and lazy about the things that don’t. “The Lazy Genius” will move to Audacy on August 12, 2024. New episodes will continue to be released weekly on Mondays. Listen and follow the show here.
“Angela and I were known for our chattiness on the set of ‘The Office.’ And for documenting details of our work day in photos, blog posts and journal entries. We’ve taken all of that and funneled it into the ‘Office Ladies’ podcast,” said Fischer. “Our ‘Office’ family, the cast and the crew have been so supportive of the podcast. They let us text and email them the craziest questions each week so that we can gather all of the behind-the-scenes info that our fans love.
And we’ve been fortunate enough to welcome guest directors like Bryan Cranston, as well as special guest stars Will Ferrell and Bob Odenkirk on the podcast to discuss their experiences on the show. I think it really speaks to what a special experience it was for people to work on ‘The Office.’ We’re all really proud of the community we built there.
We’re getting near the end of our first rewatch…and I say first because maybe we will just start all over again just like the fans do. We are excited to partner with Audacy as we develop what’s next for ‘Office Ladies’ and expand the Office Ladies Network. One thing I know for sure, we want to keep talking!”
“Every day on the set of ‘The Office,’ Jenna and I would gab. We’d have big talks in the hair and makeup trailer, by the snack table, between scenes, during lunch and on our drive home. One day, Rainn Wilson looked at us and exclaimed, ‘What more could you two have to talk about?!’ Well, as it turns out A LOT more.
I love working with my best friend, talking about ‘The Office’ and everything else that life brings our way. And I love the ‘Office Ladies’ community. It’s a fantastic group of fans that love ‘The Office’ and best friendship as much as we do.
And we are thrilled to have the Office Ladies Network, which includes ‘Office Ladies’ and ‘The Lazy Genius,’ join the Audacy family. As Michael Scott would say, ‘it’s a win, win, win’. So Rainn, buckle in… we have a lot more to say,” said Kinsey.
