Hopewell Valley Student Podcasting Network Show Name: A Day in The OfficeEpisode Title: Diwali DiscussionsEpisode #1You are listening to A Day in The Office the podcast with your host(s) Samaira Sachdeva. In this episode of A Day in The Office the Podcast, I will discuss the Diwali episode of The Office, how I relate to this episode, and the cast of the show. Segment 1: Summary of the Diwali episode In this episode of the third season, Kelly hosts a Diwali party and invites everyone from the Dunder Mifflin Paper Company office. (including her boss Michael, which if you don’t already know, is an immature, self-centered, comedic, and a clueless person.) Of course, Michael is thrilled and excited to go, because why wouldn’t he be? He is an extreme extrovert. Along with this, he brings along his girlfriend Carol who was under the impression that it was a costume party because that is what Michael told her, so they both showed up in a costume. Carol, of course, was embarrassed when she dressed up as a cheerleader when she was surrounded by people in Saris. Along with the embarrassment that Carol was already facing, Michael got a little ahead of himself and decided to propose to her at the party, in front of all of his coworkers and Kelly’s friends and family, when it had only been their third date. Meanwhile, Kelly’s parents are interrogating Ryan (kelly’s boyfriend) about his life goals, and when Ryan responds with “traveling” and “buying an Xbox”, her parents begin to pressure Kelly to marry an Indian doctor, which of course, is the perfect person according to Indian parents everywhere. Now, going back to Michael’s proposal, Carol said no because as I mentioned earlier, it had only been their third date. I mean, who proposes on their third date? If I were Carol, I would’ve said no, too. Michael became very sad and goes to Pam, who was dealing with her own troubles. Pam had just gotten out of a three-year engagement, and the guy she liked, Jim, just moved away to Stamford for a new job opportunity, while they all live in Scranton, Pennsylvania. To shorten this up for you, Michael says that he and Pam are “both victims of broken engagements” when Michael was never engaged, and so he tries to kiss Pam. She obviously refuses, which led Michael to go back inside and in order to cheer his and everyone else’s spirits, sings a song honoring the celebration of Diwali, which is the concluding scene of this episode. Segment 2: How I relate to this episode of The OfficeSo now you’re probably wondering about how I, personally, can relate to this up and down episode of The Office. For starters, I am Indian, similarly to Kelly, and I also celebrate Diwali. Every year my family and I love to celebrate together and go to Diwali parties. I am also really excited to say that this year will be the first time where we have a day off from school in honor of Diwali! If you ask me, this is very long overdue, but honestly, I am just glad that we are finally getting a chance to celebrate on our own time, and people being understanding of that. As I said, my family and I also go to Diwali parties, and if we don’t we love to celebrate ourselves! One time in particular when I went to a Diwali party at my neighbor’s house, this was around the time when I had just started watching The Office for the first time, I thought it was so funny when this group of teenagers decided to sing the exact song that Michael sang in the Diwali episode, at the party. I thought it was so cool because I knew what episode they were singing from, and what they were talking about, and I thought it was so funny and hilarious because I was like “Haha! I know what you’re talking about!” which I wouldn’t have known had I not watched the show. Also, something that I didn’t mention when summarizing the episode of the show was that when Michael asked Kelly about what Diwali is, Kelly said that she didn’t know. To me, it seems that Kelly doesn’t have much knowledge...
Hopewell Valley Student Podcasting Network Show Name: A Day in The OfficeEpisode Title: Diversity Day Episode #2You are listening to A Day in The Office the podcast with your host(s) Samaira Sachdeva. In this episode of A Day in The Office the Podcast, I will discuss the Diversity Day episode of The Office, how I relate to this episode, and the cast of the show. Segment 1: Summary of the Diversity Day episodeThis episode is probably the most controversial episode of the whole series of The Office. So I’m going to give you all a quick summary of it, so you can decide if you agree with most of the audience when they say it’s offensive. So this episode is very early on in the series. It is the second episode of season 1. Now in this episode, Michael imitates a very controversial and racist Chris Rock routine. Everyone from the office files a complaint to corporate about Michael, which forces them to undergo a meeting in which a consultant, known as Mr. Brown in the episode, teaches the office about the importance of diversity and tolerance. Michael being Michael insists on teaching the importance of diversity in the workplace in his own way, and takes over the meeting. Okay, so if you think that this episode is bad so far, just wait until you hear about this part. So now we know that Michael has taken over the seminar to teach it himself. Which is already bad enough as is. And as we also already know, Michael is very oblivious to pretty much everything that he does. So, Michael assigns each staff member with a card that has a different race written on it. With these cards, he tells the staff to treat people how they would be treated if they were the race written on their cards. So now, all the staff members are basically very confused but they all know Michael. They know that this is the type of oblivious person he is, so they didn’t really question him. But, after a while, the staff start to get very aggravated and annoyed with Michael, and here’s why. Michael begins to claim that he is now “two fifteenths Native American.” which is not okay to say, considering that he is not, in fact, “two fifteenths Native American” Along with this, Kelly, the same staff member from my last podcast episode, walks into Michaels racist seminar. She was out in a meeting of her own, so she didn’t exactly know what was going on when she walked into the conference room. So, you know, she wasn’t there, meaning that she never received an index card from Michael. However, despite not receiving a card, he delivers a very racist impression of Indian people to Kelly, who takes offense and slaps Michael. So, this episode is very controversial for many many reasons, and I think that we can all agree that this episode probably wouldn’t have even aired, had it been made within the past (at least) 4-5 years. Segment 2: How I relate to this episode of The OfficeOkay, so if you listened to my first podcast episode about Diwali, you already know that I (along with Kelly) am Indian. And I feel like we need to talk more about how it isn’t okay to mock accents such as Indian ones. And although I personally haven’t had someone be racist to my face, regardless, I still know that it, well, exists. I know even of people in my grade who have said racist remarks about Indians and even other cultures and races which is really not okay. So I think we should also talk about the Indian stereotype in tv shows and movies. One thing that I like about The Office, and about Kelly, is that she doesn’t have an Indian accent. Now you might think that her not having an accent is just of little significance, but for me, this is really important, and here’s why. A lot of shows, and I feel like Disney shows especially, make Indian actors force an Indian accent. For example, in the show, Jessie from Disney channel, one of the main characters, Ravi, was adopted from India with an Indian accent and a pet lizard. Lizard? Seriously? I feel like that’s so extra and...
Hopewell Valley Student Podcasting Network Show Name: A Day in The OfficeEpisode Title: HalloweenEpisode #3You are listening to A Day in The Office the podcast with your host(s) Samaira Sachdeva. In this episode of A Day in The Office the Podcast, I’m going to discuss multiple Halloween episodes of The Office, and this time, I’m going to be switching up the regular schedule, by calling in a guest who loves The Office as much as I do, and asking them some questions and fun Halloween related conversations! So, I want to give a warm welcome to my amazing guest in this episode, a lover of The Office, and the best cook and baker you’ll ever meet, Erin Lee. Segment 1: Asking questionsOkay, so, as I said, this podcast episode is gonna be running a little differently than my usual style. So going in order, the Halloween episodes of The Office are season 2, episode 5: “Halloween”, season 5, episode 6: “Employee Transfer”, season 7, episode 6: “Costume Contest”, season 8, episode 5: “Spooked”, and finally, season 9, episode 6, ‘Here Comes Treble”. So now I’m going to turn my attention to the guest, and let’s hear some of her opinions. TO GUESTS: So, what is your favorite Halloween episode of The Office and why? Okay, in the “Costume Contest” episode, they, obviously, have a costume contest, right? So, a lot of people end up voting Oscar as the winner, who didn’t really dress up. He was just in normal clothing, but for the sake of the holiday, called himself a “rational consumer”. Everyone votes for him because they think he’s the least likely to win, but he ends up winning because basically, everyone voted for him. So now I wanna ask you guys, who would you vote for in this episode? And I mean like based on how good the costume is, not like who would least likely win, like who do you think you would actually vote for, for best costume? Going back to the first Halloween episode of The Office, called, “Halloween”, Michael has to choose a person in the office to fire, and he had been putting it off for the whole month. So, in the end, he chooses to fire Devin. Now, we don’t really know a lot about Devin because he didn’t have, much of a role for the episodes he was in, and then he was, you know, fired, so we didn’t see him after that. If you were Michael, who would you choose to fire based on performance and how their work performance is? Also, you can include people who weren’t in this episode yet, so like Andy, Erin, Gabe, Pete, Clark, basically whoever has had a somewhat main role in the show. Segment 2: Looking into the pastNow, I think in this Halloween episode, it would only be fair to discuss our previous Halloween costumes, and fun stories, and all things Halloween. So, let’s just dive into this because honestly, I’m curious to know what stories you could have to share, and what you dressed up as in the past. TO GUESTS: Okay, so, what has been your favorite Halloween costume that you’ve dressed up as, ever? I wanna take another look into the past to discuss just, all of your Halloween costumes, from the first one that you remember, so up to this year, what have you been for Halloween in the past, and are there any stories or reasonings behind your previous costumes? This one is a little quick, but, what is your favorite Halloween candy? And by that, I mean, if you went trick-or-treating, and your whole bag could be full of only one type of candy, which candy would that be? Talking about stories, were there any situations in which something weird had happened, or do you have any cool or even just random stories from any Halloween? talk about your story with the m&ms Okay, I’m going to relate this one question back to The Office, so, we know that Jim was never a very, big person when it came to Halloween costumes. Like in the first Halloween episode of the show, Jim dressed up as a piece of paper, wearing a white button-up shirt with three black circles taped to it.
