Jenna Fischer & Angela Kinsey
If you could only follow one thing on this list, it should be the "Office Ladies" podcast. Co-stars and real-life best friends Jenna Fischer (Pam) and Angela Kinsey (Angela) are doing the ultimate service for fans: a full-series rewatch. Each week, they
break down an episode, sharing behind-the-scenes stories, production secrets, and personal memories that only they could provide. They answer fan questions, interview fellow cast and crew members, and offer a warm, hilarious, and incredibly detailed look back at every single episode. Having completed their initial rewatch, the podcast has evolved into deeper dives on characters and other topics, ensuring the content stays fresh. It's like watching the show again with the two people who know it best sitting right next to you.
Brian Baumgartner
While the "Office Ladies" go episode by episode, Brian Baumgartner (Kevin Malone) took a different approach. First came his narrative podcast, "An Oral History of The Office," which told the full story of the show's creation, unlikely success, and cultural impact through interviews with nearly everyone involved. He followed that up with "The Office Deep Dive," a podcast where he releases the full, unedited versions of those interviews. Want to hear Steve Carell, John Krasinski, or Rainn Wilson talk at length about their experiences? This is the place. More recently, his podcast "Off The Beat" expands the concept, where he talks to stars from other iconic TV shows. Following Baumgartner gives you access to a treasure trove of historical context and heartfelt conversations about the show and its legacy.
Mindy Kaling
Following Mindy Kaling (Kelly Kapoor) is less about looking back at The Office and more about witnessing where its talent can lead. A key writer and actor on the show, Kaling has since become a powerhouse creator in her own right. She's the mind behind hit shows like "The Mindy Project," "Never Have I Ever," and "The Sex Lives of College Girls." Her newest comedy series, "Not Suitable for Work," premiered on Hulu in June 2026. Following her on social media provides a mix of hilarious observations, behind-the-scenes looks at her current projects, and updates on her prolific career. For Office fans, it’s a direct line to one of the sharpest and funniest voices who helped shape the Dunder Mifflin universe, now building new worlds of her own.
Rainn Wilson
Anyone expecting Rainn Wilson's post-Office career to be all about beet farming and martial arts has been pleasantly surprised. While he will forever be known as Dwight Schrute, Wilson has dedicated much of his energy to exploring life's big questions. He co-founded the digital media company SoulPancake, which for years produced uplifting and thought-provoking content, earning hundreds of millions of views. Wilson is the author of multiple books, including the bestsellers "Soul Boom: Why We Need a Spiritual Revolution" and his memoir, "The Bassoon King." His recent Peacock travel series, "Rainn Wilson and the Geography of Bliss," saw him travel the world exploring different paths to happiness. Following him offers a funny, insightful, and often profound look at the world, proving there’s much more to the actor than his iconic character.
B.J. Novak
Much like his on-again, off-again on-screen love interest Mindy Kaling, B.J. Novak (Ryan the Temp) was also a crucial writer and producer for the series. Since leaving Dunder Mifflin, he has embarked on a fascinatingly diverse creative path. He penned a best-selling collection of short stories, "One More Thing," and the massively popular children's book, "The Book with No Pictures." In 2022, he wrote, directed, and starred in the critically noted film "Vengeance," a dark comedy-thriller that showcased his distinct voice. Kaling has even noted that she still runs most of her creative ideas by him. Following Novak is to follow a curious and ambitious mind, one who continues to pop up in interesting acting roles, launch new series, and generally defy easy categorization—a fitting trajectory for the man who played the temp who always aimed higher.
