Grab all the jello you can eat and settle in because the actor that played Kevin Malone is going to spill all the chili!

A 12-episode podcast titled An Oral History of The Office will be coming to Spotify starting Tuesday, July 14. Every Tuesday, a new episode will be released, and unlike Office Ladies, an ongoing re-watch podcast hosted by Baumgartner’s former costars Angela Kinsey and Jenna Fischer, the actor that played Kevin will talk about the history of the show.


Baumgartner will cover everything from the show’s inception to the search for a network home and casting. For those that didn’t know, The Office began from very humble beginnings; Co-creator Ben Silverman met with the UK’s The Office creator Ricky Gervais at a Starbucks in SoHo about adapting the popular workplace mockumentary sitcom.

But what’s The Office without some of the famous people that made the show the popular culture icon it is today? The podcast is set to feature interviews with Steve Carell (Michael Scott), John Krasinski (Jim Halpert), Rainn Wilson (Dwight Schrute), Fischer (Pam Beesly), Kinsey (Angela Martin), more. Even Billie Eilish, a self-proclaimed Office superfan, will be a guest on the show.

On the day of debut, three episodes of An Oral History of The Office will drop on the digital music streaming service.
