Phyllis: You know I know. [looks at the camera guys] You know they know.

Dwight: I know none of that. If I did, you’d be the last to know.

This week we go behind the camera to discuss the documentary format, one of the defining and most iconic features of The Office. We look at the documentaries and mockumentaries that preceded it, how the format shapes and frames the show, and the other TV shows that aired at the same time or have aired in the time since. Naturally we also cover all of the moments where we see the crew interact with the characters, including the boom guy, Dwight's candy bar, and that time Andy floated away in the lake wearing a sumo suit. In lieu of a Conference Room, we include listener questions to help guide our discussion of the main topic for one of our most unique episodes yet.

It is still TBD when the boom guy is going to boom Meredith.
