The Office Alliance Podcast - An Office Podcast

 Standard Podcast [78:34m]: Download

With your hosts Kimberly, Melody, and Sarah.

Conference Room (1:48) - Thoughts about season five as a whole–the good, the bad, and the inexplicable. Plus, our hopes and dreams for season six.

Email Surveillance (29:36) - Lots of reactions to the season five finale, some begging the question, has The Office jumped the shark? If there’s one thing everyone can agree on, though, it’s that John Krasinski and Jenna Fischer deserve an Emmy Award. Plus, we put the Sorting Hat on the heads of the characters from The Office, and decide which houses at Hogwarts they should be in.

This is our final podcast. Thank you all for being such a wonderful audience for the past two and a half years!

All of the podcast episodes will still be available here at theofficealliance.com for the foreseeable future, in case you need to catch up on older episodes.

Performance Review (1:53) - “Company Picnic” - Dwight suddenly develops a sense of humor–could it be because of his new BFF, Rolf? Michael is reunited with Holly, and for once, he acts like a mature adult and shows restraint–oh, except for that part where they announce that the Buffalo Branch is closing. Oops. Jim and Dwight form an unstoppable team. Plus, Jim and Pam–the original soup snakes–make us all swoon with joy.

Performance Review (1:05) - “Casual Friday” - Michael Scott Paper Company rejoins Dunder-Mifflin, and suddenly, Michael has a urine-inspired rebellion on his hands.

Performance Review (23:55) - “Cafe Disco” - Michael tries to get people to loosen up and knock it off with all the working, and as a result, he inspires the most epic dance party this side of Booze Cruise.
