Jenna and Angela celebrate 500 million downloads by reflecting on the origin of Office Ladies and sharing the original pilot recording.

This week, Jenna and Angela celebrate a truly historic Office Ladies milestone: 500 million downloads! To mark the occasion, they’re looking back at how it all began. The ladies share the full origin story of Office Ladies, reflect on the leap of faith that started it all, and hear from the producers, collaborators, and friends who helped shape the show along the way. Then, they open the vault and take a look back at the recording that started it all… the original Office Ladies pilot, recorded in Angela’s garage. It’s a special, nostalgic, celebration of friendship, creativity, and the incredible community that made 500 million downloads possible. Thank you for being part of the journey.
