For Season 2 Episode 8 of Severance, it’s the Harmony Cobel Show. And there’s no one better to break it down with Ben and Adam than Cobel herself — Patricia Arquette! They talk all about how she built Cobel’s backstory and how Newfoundland became the perfect Salt’s Neck. Then, Ben and Adam are joined by Severance superfan Jimmy Kimmel to answer some of the your burning hotline questions, including: would you rather be a fetid moppet or a shambolic rube?

Legendary actor Christopher Walken, who plays Burt, is on the podcast this week to nerd out about acting with Ben and help break down Season 2 Episode 6.

S2E5: Trojan's Horse (with Michael Chernus)
This week, Ben and Adam welcome Michael Chernus — who plays Ricken Hale, the visionary author of “The You You Are” — to help unpack Season 2 Episode 5. And while you might expect Ricken to host a podcast of his own, Michael reveals that Ricken is actually post-podcast, so today’s episode is a really big deal. Together, they discuss Ricken’s writing, his relationship with Devon, and the actorly impulse to be liked. Then, Ben and Adam break down the rest of the episode and the challenges of crafting this soft-reset for the MDR team.

S2E4: Woe's Hollow (with Theodore Shapiro)
For Season 2 Episode 4, Ben and Adam are joined by Severance’s Emmy-winning composer, Theodore Shapiro — or, Teddy Shaps, as his friends call him. He pulls back the curtain on his long-standing collaboration with Ben Stiller, going all the way back to 2004’s Dodgeball; the four chords that unlocked Severance’s ear-worm of a main theme; and the world of Kier folk tunes he discovered while scoring this episode. Then, Ben and Adam talk about filming this monumental episode where the Outties go out-f***ing-side.

About The Severance Podcast with Ben Stiller & Adam 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.
This is the Severance Podcast with Ben Stiller and Adam Scott, an episode-by-episode, behind-the-scenes breakdown with the creators, cast, crew, and fans of the Emmy- and Peabody Award-winning TV show.
In advance of Season 2 premiering January 17 on Apple TV+, director/executive producer Stiller and star/executive producer Scott will rewatch every episode of Season 1 and share in-depth, never-before-heard analysis, alongside guests including creator Dan Erickson, producer Jackie Cohn, stars Zach Cherry ("Dylan"), John Turturro ("Irving") and Britt Lower ("Helly"), and celebrity superfans Jon Stewart, Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard. The podcast will continue weekly following new episodes of Season 2. From Audacy Podcasts, Audacy's Pineapple Street Studios, Red Hour, and Great Scott.
If you’ve got a question about Severance, call our hotline at 212-830-3816. We just might play your voicemail and answer your question on the podcast.
