    I’m only 7 episodes in and I love this podcast! Tiff and Micah are so genuine and put lots of effort and creativity in this podcast. I love binging podcasts and I’m super excited to listen to more! 💖

    Predates The Office Ladies
    I honestly thought that The Office Ladies was an original podcast. I thought they were the first and only. Then, after listening to Kevin’s (aka Brian Bomb Baumgartner) podcast, I saw this. And thought, “Wow, there are other people doing rewatch/commentaries”. A little digging, and “Whoa…they were more than a year before The Office Ladies… which makes The Office Ladies intro make a little more sense. Anyway…have listened up to the first Christmas episode now…and Love it. I really enjoy the TOL as well…but, this one tends to stay of the topic of the show a lot better. It’s basically two people, who have watched The Office hundreds of times, and commenting on things they notice, just like any other fan would. Peppered with some personal anecdotes…but, largely episode focussed. TOL dropped yesterday, and I haven’t listened yet (i will…I still enjoy it) b/c I’m enjoying this one so much. Great Job!
  • Wyozach
    Great show!
    This podcast is amazing. I only have one complaint. You skipped season four, episode 15: Night Out. This is one of my favorite episodes, and I’m a bit irked by that decision. Otherwise, this would be 5 stars! I love this podcast, and I listen to it every day. Thank you Tiff and Stephen!
  • DeltaBravo124
    I was all in until
    I was absolutely all-in on this podcast when I first started listening a few days ago. It made me start another re-watch of the office, and I thoroughly enjoyed watching an episode and then listening to the corresponding podcast ep to hear Tiff’s and Micah’s retrospectives. I was all-in, until I reached Ep 21 of the podcast where Tiff openly praises Jan for union busting. Incredibly gross and wealth-adjacently tone deaf to hear her praise Jan for #girlboss behavior of authoritatively and eloquently shutting down underpaid workers trying to unionize. Will not be listening in the future.
  • Kylie Ogryski
    This podcast is awful. FALSE. This podcast is AMAZING!
    I truly love listening to this podcast! All of your facts and opinions about this show make me think differently about a show I keep near and dear to my heart! I have watched The Office 8 times now and watched the whole show in 8 DAYS!!! I cannot wait to listen to the rest of the podcasts and see how you absolutely crush the rest of the show!!

    So good, I just discovered it and its compulsively listenable. I love the calm version of The Office theme song!

    Fabulous Podcast Dundie
    The office is my all time favorite show (desert island show for sure 😉) and I’ve seen it all the way through no less than 40 times. It’s awesome to find two people with a ton of enthusiasm for my favorite show, and I feel like I’m listening to a couple of my friends discuss the show while listening to them.

    This podcast is unfunny people recapping a funny show should be zero stars

    There are a lot of terrible podcasts about the office, this is one of the worst.

    Speaker of the Office Award
    First off, I want to say I'm usually a podcast "lurker," as I've never actually written out a review before, but I couldn't hold myself back for this one. Tiff and Micah bring The Office to life in a way that no other podcast has, with the exception of maybe Office Ladies (which I can't wait to hear you guys find out is happening). I'm not caught up on the podcast, but I'm currently listening to the episode about The Deposition, and it's just great. The chemistry between hosts of a podcast is something that is very easily seen through if faked or forced, and you can tell that you two are genuine friends. After listening to the two of you for hours, I do wish you would talk a little about your relationship, like how long you've been friends, where you met, etc. We the listeners deserve that right?! Lastly, as a self-proclaimed grammar/English nerd, I can't help but smile every single time I hear Micah pronounce the 't' in the word 'exactly.' It makes my heart so happy. So without further ado, come on down, Micah, and accept your Dundie for Speaker of the Office! Thank you guys so much for creating this podcast. I listen with such ease, and I often have things pointed out that I never even noticed. If you love the show, you'll love the podcast just as much! Much love ❤️

    Tiff deserves a Dundie!
    I have only made it to the Dwight’s Speech (Good Morning Vietnam) episode listening to this podcast but feel the need to write a review praising Tiff. She does an outstanding job. To me Tiff is right on target with her insight into all the characters’ thoughts, feelings and actions. Her research is very thorough. It’s unfortunate that her partner Micah’s skills are completely opposite. He doesn’t seem to have an original thought. His contribution is to simply agree or disagree with Tiff. And when he disagrees he has nothing to back it up with other than his “feelings”. His role could be filled by any person that has watched The Office series through once, ok maybe twice. Not sure if I can continue to listen. It bothers me that Tiff carries the full load and Micah is nothing more than a bobble head. Today’s Dundie should go to Tiff for the “Most Knowledgeable in the Office” award!

    That’s what he said (my mind is going a mile an hour)
    As Micah might say, this podcast is so delightful it gets a chefs kiss, muah! You know... sometimes I start a sentence and don’t even know where it’s going. I started listing in the first few weeks of this podcast and as an office super fan I was instantly hooked. There are other good podcasts out there, but this one is great. The hosts have amazing chemistry and are able to break down and analyze the series in a way that provides a deeper look into the layers of the show. This podcast is good from episode 1 and does not disappoint. Listening to this podcast on my Friday night drive home has become a ritual and something I look forward to each week. I’m cant wait to hear how the podcast continues to evolve, 5 stars all the way!

    This.Beats.Other Podcasts
    New to the podcast world. I tried a few other Office themed podcasts because I’m a self proclaimed super fan and found this one to be the best. I love the smart commentary and the rich voices of the podcasters. The audio equipment is great so you can concentrate on the content rather than be distracted by background noise. The hosts stick to one episode and don’t really go off on tangents discussing other episodes of The Office which makes it super easy to follow. They catch things that happen in episodes that are such “ah ha” moments that make me watch again with such a different perspective. I have binge watched The Office on loop for years and the little nuances they find blow my mind. Love everything about this but sometimes I start a sentence and I don’t even know where it’s going so I just hope to find it along the way. #worldsbestpodcast

    Favorite podcast
    I listened to this podcast while was sick and couldn’t watch the office. It was an amazing way to rewatch the office while adding in amazing observations that changes the way I watch the show! I spent all day at home listening and never got bored. I love binging this podcast the same way I binge the show.
  • Pokerandguns
    Could do without the SJW platform.
    I really like the interaction between the two. Tiffany is my fave, and Mikah is annoying. Mikah constantly complains about the Pam and Jim story, which as everyone knows, is the “A” story of the show and takes it farther by hating on Jim all the time constantly referring to him bullying Dwight. When they talk about the show and keep it about the characters and the story I like it. However they go to the SJW platform constantly bringing up Bullying, toxic masculinity, triggers, and advising us all that we can now not use the word “lame” because it may be offensive. I’m up to 3-1 and again, more SJW stuff. Will probably listen to a few more and hope it goes away, if not, then that’ll be it. Have listened to a fem more, done, terrible. However, good news I have found an awesome Office podcast finally, “An American Workplace Podcast “, and will no longer be listening to this one.

    The Little Drummer Boy of Podcast
    My boyfriend introduced me to this podcast last week and we are currently binging it on a road trip to New York (obviously going to Sbarro). I love how knowledgeably the host talk about the office, but not too judgy or condescending. The trivia is perfectly implemented in the episode too! Will I recommend this to others? Absolutely I will.
  • Field357
    Nice podcast
    Fun podcast for a funny show
  • MrSavRok
    Good, but...
    Really enjoy the office discussion and trivia but the male host is a bit of a weenie. Every episode he objects to the less politically correct aspects of the show as they relate to his experiences (calling Pam and Roy's relationship "abusive" and objecting to the S1 episode "Basketball" because he's bad at basketball). Kind of surprised he enjoys the show at all. He never seems to be personally offended by the racist or sexist non-PC aspects of the show, though.
  • niawins
    Great!
    I love listening to this podcast! One tip I have is that the introduction is kind of confusing, Maybe instead you could give a trivia question that introduces the podcast or just start right off with the podcast. The reason why it’s confusing is because it doesn’t make sense with your personality’s. But the podcast is great and I agree with lots of your points!!! 😁
  • ashlyn_jeffries
    Terrible podcast? False. Best podcast ever.
    As an avid “The Office” fan, this podcast has entertained me for hours. I recently found this podcast but it makes me excited for new stuff. (That’s what she said). If I can’t listen to this podcast, then what has all of this been about?Can’t wait for more episodes!

    Waaaaay better than the other Office podcasts
    I can’t tell you how much better SIM is than the other Office podcasts. It is professional, smart, inoffensive, and tidy. Others are sloppy and inefficient. Love this! My Michael Scott Nicknames: Tiffizzle and DateMikah.

    So Happy I Found This!!
    I had no idea this podcast was even a thing until I heard it mentioned on another fun podcast, Top 4. As an Office Superfan I was thrilled! I’ve binged the first 14 eps of this podcast and they haven’t disappointed! Funny insight and great discussion about the funniest show of all time! My only complaint is that I wish the podcast eps were longer. Great job, guys!!!
  • spence881
    Love finding Office Podcasts
    Just found your podcast this week and I really am enjoying it. The Office is my second fave show of all-time and after my many, many views of the series I love finding other ultra fans...looking forward to binging the episodes so I can catch up to the current one.
  • Jg_78
    A few suggestions that would make this a 5-star podcast
    1. Use clips from the show when relevant! We want to hear the moments you’re describing, not a quick synopsis of a thing. Which leads me to: 2. Be clear and specific about the thing you’re appreciating. For example, don’t say “And then Jim says... well, we all know what Jim says.” Go deep, guys! Pick this show apart, analyze it, roll around in the details. Don’t avoid spoilers — spoil! It’s more fun for those of us who have seen the show to have a place to really get into the weeds. A seriously great example of both of these things is The West Wing Weekly. They’ve made a podcast that really unpacks a show for its fans. You are so close to doing that same thing — go all the way!
  • T_Steinbeck
    What a Fun Show!
    I have seen every episode of The Office multiple times over the years, but it is even more fun to watch it and then listen to the “Somehow I Manage” podcast. I don’t really watch much TV or Netflix because I always feel like I can find something better to do with my time. I don’t like the mindlessness of it. (No criticism of those who like watching TV, everyone does different things with their down time) So this podcast is perfect because I can watch the next episode almost with a purpose, I take a few notes, and then listen to the podcast to see if Tiff and Micah noticed the same things that I did. Watching a show like The Office is fun, listening to the podcast is even funnier. Love it!
  • Callicl3s
    One of my few must-listen podcasts
    Two excellent podcasters talking about The Office? What more could you want? Longer episodes! But really, if you are obsessed with The Office, this will give you a chance to obsess for an extra half hour a week about it. Professional, funny, and fun. Mikah and Tiff, please check your Twitter for a link to Krasinski talking about "Booze Cruise." I feel silly writing this, but at least I get to write my first iTunes review.
  • Lorski B.
    Thank you for making this show!
    I can't believe I didn't know this show existed! My then boyfriend, now husband,turned me onto the office not long after we started dating. I had seen random episodes out of context and thought it was weird and stupid. Once I watched them in sequence, I was completely in love with the show. He and I have been watching it before bed every night for literally a couple years now! We watch it constantly, and our lives consist of constant office quotes and references. When I listen to Somehow I Manage, I feel like I'm among friends. It's nice to be able to relate to people who love the show as much as I do. Thanks for giving us that! I hope you'll keep the show going all the way through! My heart, soars, with the eagle's nest!
  • @wilburloyd
    Tiff and Mikah give The Office a Second Life
    This is, without question, my favorite new podcast. It is a joy to reivist a wickedly smart and deeply funny TV show with fellow Office superfans. This podcast is witty, insightful, and perfectly paced. What sets it apart (from other TV recaps) is the empathy and genuine affection the hosts have for the characters. I know it's a long way off, but I cannot wait for Tiff/Mikah to examine the claustrophobic awkwardness that is Dinner Party (and PLEASE let there be a musical number).

    A look at The Office in a new light
    As someone who has watched The Office too many times to count, this podcast gives new meaning to it. Tiffany and Mikah give great insight and catch a lot of the minor things I've glossed over or forgotten about. I've always been able to binge the series so this gives me the experience of anticipation one owuld get when watching it for the first time - wanting to take in every little moment to see how it relates to the others and making that feeling strech until the new episode the following week, but also with the benefit of knowing how the whole story plays out. I didn't know I needed more Office content in my life, but this is a valuable addition.
  • sams penguins
    A Dundie for Tiff and Mikah!
    I’ve watched through The Office twice before, and this podcast got me to start round three. Tiff and Mikah are obviously passionate about the show and have wonderful insights and observations. Each episode is just a little extra taste of The Office that even the Fine Things Club would enjoy.
  • Trilogi62
    Appreciating Adulthood
    I'm loving watching the office for the first time, and listening to the show has helped me gain a better appreciation for the perspective of the characters. I'm learning about how bad things can get, and what tactful and effective ways there are to respond to different situations. ♥️ the shows!
  • Dave154304
    Fun way to re-watch the series
    I’ve been enjoying rewatching the series and listening to the commentary. I learn something new I didn’t notice in the show almost every week.
  • Cassi S.
    Best podcast for the best show!
    I’ve watched The Office practically on repeat since it stopped airing. I love it so much that I find myself accidentally quoting the show all the time. And this podcast does the show justice. It’s not a 30 minute quote-a-thon; Tiff and Mikah actually dig into the show and characters, pointing out things only a seasoned viewer would notice and how those elements play into the series as a whole. If you’re just watching The Office for the first time, some of their commentary might seem super specific or over-analytical. But knowing the show so well, I can appreciate that they notice things that I notice and how those small moments set up things that will pay off later. Plus, when I heard their twitter handle was @tall_beets, I just about died. It’s absolutely delightful.
  • shaeshae1414
    cute and fun
    i love listening to these two chat! two suggestions for the hosts, if they read this: 1) the trivia that you know offhand are hidden gems. id love if you researched the behind the scenes trivia for each episode and incorporated that more. 2) when you first talked about awarding dundies, i thought those would be shout outs to listeners (like how some podcasters shout out people who donate or leave a notable comment/question on the podcast’s social media). i know with your first few episodes, you might not have tons of outside interaction yet. as you get more popular, i suggest switching over to this concept instead. there’s no real point in awarding an accolade to a fictional character that can’t be excited over it, right? give it to the fans, it would be super fun and awesome :) thanks y’all!!! 😄
  • desmondhuz
    Awesome Podcast
    I love The Office and have watched it in its entirety several times. I’ve enjoyed the episodic breakdown and review of the hilariousness that we all know and love. Also the “office-like” artwork for the podcast is brilliant. I’ve bing-casted the initial four episodes and am considering rewatching along with the podcast. Thanks in advance for the analysis and laughter. 😜
  • Narles
    A must-listen for any fan of The Office
    The hosts do a great job of discussing an episode of The Office in detail without resorting to rote recitation. They picked a great format with each episode clocking in at less time than the actual episode that they are discussing so it is easy to stay caught up on the podcast. Great show!
