Rewind: NPR interviews Jenna and Rainn

Wednesday, December 31st, 2008 | 14 comments

Yesterday, NPR re-ran interviews with The Office’s Jenna Fischer and Rainn Wilson, originally aired in June and July of this year.

Even if you’ve heard them already, they’re worth a second listen.

• Jenna’s interview: This is one of the best interviews Jenna’s ever done! She talks with poignancy about The Office’s director Ken Kwapis and director of photography Randall Einhorn. Brought a tear to my eye. Listen now
• Rainn’s interview: The interview is insightful, thoughtful, and in one part, so funny it actually makes Terry Gross snort. Like a full-volume snort. Awesome. Listen now
