The Severance Podcast with Ben Stiller & Adam Scott

by Audacy, Red Hour, Great Scott

Hi, we're Ben Stiller and Adam Scott. We have severed ourselves from the world for 5 years, making the workplace thriller Severance. While we have no memory of what happened during that time, we thought we should make a companion podcast for all the Innies who will have no recollection of watching, in an attempt to reintegrate them with their memory of the show. For seasons one and two, we did an episode-by-episode, behind-the-scenes breakdown with the creators, cast, crew, and fans of the Emmy- and Peabody Award-winning TV show. We shared in-depth, never-before-heard analysis, alongside guests including creator Dan Erickson, stars Britt Lower ("Helly"), Zach Cherry ("Dylan"), John Turturro ("Irving"), Christopher Walken ("Bert"), Patricia Arquette ("Cobel") and Tramell Tillman ("Milchick"), and celebrity superfans like SZA, Jon Stewart, Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard. Now we're bringing on special guests to talk about the tv shows, movies and cultural touchpoints that influenced us while making Severance. Sometimes we'll talk with the people behind those inspirational works, sometimes we'll talk with fellow fans, and through it all, we'll keep answering your hotline questions. If you’ve got a question about Severance or the stuff that influenced it, call us at 212-830-3816. From Audacy Podcasts, Red Hour, and Great Scott.

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

This is a great behind-the-scenes look at a great show. But the reason I’m writing this review is because I just listened to the episode on S1E7: Defiant Jazz. Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard had me busting out laughing. Their “go to two” routines and Kristen’s impersonations of Patricia Arquette are priceless.

SSteve · Mar 2026

As a huge fan of the TV series, I’m late to the party on this companion podcast. I finally checked it out a month ago, and once I did, I listened to an episode per day. I’m almost to the end, with one more episode to go. Every episode is great, to the extent that I can’t even pick a favorite. Hope the podcast comes back at some point soon, because it has set the gold standard for how companion podcasts should be made. Thank you, team Severance!

MetalAssaultLA · Jan 2026

Ben and Adam are a delight. I laugh every episode and learn fascinating new things about the show and their creative process. An essential companion to the show.

Love every single thing about this podcast. I'm late to the game & just finished S2. I'm doing a rewatch and it's so fun having this BTS insight into the show from the actual Sev gang. They're all so incredibly talented . Hope they know how much we all adore this show, the cast, crew & definitely this podcast. Thank you Ben and Scott💙
