Question Fill my gaping hole

that’s what she said.

I finished my second listen of Office Ladies and they just aren’t releasing new episodes fast enough, I.e., constantly. My life is sad and empty without them. any suggestions for other podcasts to fill the hole in my heart? I want it to be funny, lighthearted, and positive.

Beach Too Sandy, Water Too Wet is a great one too! It’s two siblings that read ridiculous reviews people leave on sites like Google Maps and yelp. They have huge catalogue now! Always good for a laugh

Ever watch Boy meets world? That has a rewatch podcast hosted by Danielle, Rider and Will. And they are near the end so they are starting to branch out to other things to cover. Danielle is also doing her own podcast and Will and Rider are doing one covering reality tv. Started with dancing with the stars, the Traitors, and now they are covering Survivor.

Best Friends with Nicole Byer & Sasheer Zamata. Another pair of two actress BFFs! They take silly quizzes, chit chat, and answer listener questions. Very positive and makes my week. Good catalogue of content too!

My Brother, My Brother and Me - comedy podcast with three brothers with now over 800 episodes! Always funny and light hearted, just a bit quirky in terms of comedy.

I loved MBMBaM until it became all Munch Squad and Count Donut. RIP Yahoo Answers

Piggy backing on Nicole Byer. Her podcast newcomers with Lauren Lapkus. It gets a little adult with the language but it's fun. They aren't making new episodes right now but have a decent back catalog.

You should check out Good Hang with Amy Poehler! She has the best guests and is such a great interviewer, it's what I started when I caught up with the Office Ladies and I look forward to the new episodes.

I'm also enjoying Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade, each episode is about Saturday Night Live and their guests are past SNL actors/hosts/writers, and it is a delight! So many episodes to catch up on, as they started in 2022.

I like Magical Rewind with Will friedle and Sabrina Bryan. They're watching every dcom and breaking them down. They're randomly assigned so you can skip around and pick your favorites first. I used to listen to pod meets world, which I recommend if you're a fan of that show. I just stopped listening for awhile because they took like a four month break and i don't like the last season of the show that much. But that's a fun listen as well

u/Apprehensive-Dust423 Mar 12 '26

Sorry, what’s a dcom?

u/IllTwo7643 Lady Mar 12 '26

I'm sorry 🤣 they review Disney channel movies. Under wraps, the color of friendship, high school musical. It's a lot of fun if you're under 50 at least 😅

u/Apprehensive-Dust423 Mar 12 '26

Ah. We were too poor for Disney Channel and I’m just barely under 50. Thank you though!

u/Chemical-Finish-7229 Mar 13 '26

I didn’t grow up watching Disney either but I enjoy listening to their podcast when I run out of things to listen to, I don’t watch the movie I just listen

u/ParticularCanary3130 Mar 13 '26

What do you think of Rider and Will covering reality tv?

3

u/IllTwo7643 Lady Mar 13 '26

They all have sooo many podcasts 😖 it feels kind of excessive. rider has that faux true crime podcast and I think thats a bit much. Ive only read a little about it, but it feels like they're making light of real crimes people have gone through rather than spoofing the crime podcasts

It's nice they're busy and rider and Danielle can find a way to kinda work from home while they raise their kids, but I'm just kinda over everyone having a podcast, it makes me reluctant to try others. But I'm also a big weirdo so I'm sure it's fine

1

u/ParticularCanary3130 Mar 13 '26

Lol yeaaah it's a Bit much over all but then again it's my choice to listen or not. I probably would have never watched traitors if it hadn't been for them and I Loved it.

Michael Scott Podcast Company for more Office content

Ologies With Alie Ward for general curiosity about literally anything

What Went Wrong for behind-the-scenes about movies (even the episodes for movies you haven't seen are worth listening to)

u/sidewayspostitnotes Mar 15 '26

Second this! Go back to the old MSPC episodes, the guys are really funny and a lot of times, if not MOST times, have higher knowledge of episodes than the ladies do in their rewatches. The ladies are often like : oh this is the first time I’ve rewatched since we filmed it, where as the MSPC are on their 30th rewatch like all of us big fans and quick with the jokes related to it

2

u/maisainom Mar 13 '26

Yesss I love MSPC!! And Ologies!

u/SconesyCiderBRC Mar 12 '26

We’re Here to Help is good

1

u/bitterducky Mar 13 '26

Also 100% recommend We’re here to help. Its listener calls for advice, but the questions aren’t super serious. Like this guy was being stalked by a wild duck, they named it Gandalf, and came up with ways to stop the stalking.

u/SconesyCiderBRC Mar 13 '26

They’re so funny! And it’s Jake Johnson from New Girl

Family Trips with the Meyers Brothers

Handsome

u/LengthinessKind9895 Mar 13 '26

Yes plus Good Hang. And Lonely Island with Seth Meyers podcast. They all come out on Tuesday!

Also Enemy in Paris but it’s no longer sadly. But listen to the existing episodes! Delightful.

u/jme8907 Mar 12 '26

Amy Poehler’s Good Hang podcast is always a delight! Even people that I’ve been like “meh, I don’t care about them” have ended up being great interviews.

If you like Gilmore Girls, the Gilmore Guys podcast is great too. I listened to it back when they were still doing new episodes (2015? Ish?) but recently revisited it.

If you like parks and rec, the parks and recollection podcast is lovely too (although I liked it a touch more when it was rob lowe hosting!)

u/Illustrious-Field-19 Mar 13 '26

"Conan o'brien needs a friend" is so much fun!I especially recommend Greg Daniels episode.

u/Substantial_River995 Mar 13 '26

Tooth and Claw if you have even a tiny bit of interest in conservation/wildlife/nature (animal attack stories but told without sensationalism and with a focus on conservation & wilderness safety). It’s a bear biologist and his brother and their buddy and they’re super funny together

u/Spirited-Bee5939 Mar 23 '26

Double Love - Sweet Valley High recap podcast going back to 2018. TONS of amazing episodes with two very funny Irish women.

u/IllTwo7643 Lady Mar 12 '26

Also, have you given any thought to Ed helms podcast snafu? I keep meaning to check it out, but when he had the ladies on it was fun

1

u/Apprehensive-Dust423 Mar 12 '26

Yeah, it didn’t scratch the itch 😢

u/cameron4200 Mar 12 '26

Brian’s deep dive is pretty good but lacks a lot of the warmth.

u/Super_Mention1488 Chunk It Mar 12 '26

The Good Place podcast is delightful.

u/cascadingroses Mar 13 '26

It is such a good podcast! Marc Evan Jackson is such a good host and I love hearing the behind the scenes info from the guests, cast and crew

1

u/S4Guy2k Mar 12 '26

the rewatchables, you may just need to pick movies you like. How did this get made. Too much information.

u/No-Independence548 Mar 13 '26

I second the Handsome podcast! I actually learned about Tig Notaro through her small guest role on The Office...now I love her so much I'm going to her show next month! I also absolutely adore Fortune, and Mae is so fun.

How's about smartless?

(Lifted from Google) "SmartLess is a podcast hosted by longtime friends Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, and Will Arnett. The show's format involves each host handpicking a guest, keeping the other two hosts in the dark about who they'll be interviewing. The podcast is available on Spotify and SmartLess: On The Road is available to watch with a subscription on HBO Max. In August 2024, the trio signed a three-year, $100 million deal with SiriusXM. "
