Brian Baumgartner to follow-up An Oral History of The Office with The Office Deep Dive podcast

Deadline

The Office alum's second podcast devoted to his NBC comedy will premiere Feb. 9 and run between 40 and 50 episodes. The Office Deep Dive with Brian Baumgartner will feature full-length interviews from An Oral History of The Office with stars such as Steve Carell and John Krasinski and the creative team behind the show including Greg Daniels and Mike Schur. Baumgartner said he has more than 100 hours of interviews, including four hours with Daniels and three-and-a-a-half with Carell. “What I wanted to do was to give people an insight into the full interviews that we did. It’s all new material from the other podcast. It’s deep dive conversation between me and all of these people,” he tells Deadline. “It’s going to feel rougher and rawer. Whereas on An Oral History of The Office, you heard the story of the show, in this you’re going to hear about the people behind it and the personalities in a way that you haven’t before. There’s much more comedy and interaction, telling stories that happened over time.”
