The Official Big Bang Theory Podcast has now shifted its focus to Season 2 of The Big Bang Theory after eighteen episodes covering the show's first season.

Hosted by Jessica Radloff, author of the New York Times bestseller The Big Bang Theory: The Definitive, Inside Story of the Epic Hit Series, the podcast takes a look at one TBBT episode each week with a special guest - a crew member, cast member or guest star - to share their memories of the episode and what it was like working on the show.

The podcast premiered on March 17 with a look at the unaired Pilot originally developed for the 2006/07 season. The following seventeen episodes focused on Season 1 of The Big Bang Theory, from the Pilot to the season finale, The Tangerine Factor.

Among Jessica's guests for the first season were The Big Bang Theory co-creator Chuck Lorre, former Warner Bros. executive Peter Roth, renowned TV director James Burrows, TBBT directors Mark Cendrowski, Anthony Rich, and Nikki Lorre, and writer/producers Dave Goetsch, Lee Aronsohn, and Steve Molaro. Other guests included TBBT guest stars Sara Gilbert (Leslie Winkle), Courtney Henggeler (Missy Cooper), and Vernée Watson (Nurse Althea), along with the show's science consultant David Saltzberg, set decorator Ann Shea, and production designer John Shaffner.

In this week's episode, Jessica Radloff is once again joined by Chuck Lorre to discuss the Season 2 premiere, The Bad Fish Paradigm. On-screen, Leonard and Penny faced the aftermath of their first date, but behind the scenes, Chuck Lorre had just learned about the real-life romance between Kaley Cuoco and Johnny Galecki. Lorre also recalls Jim Parsons' audition for Sheldon, and reflects on The Big Bang Theory's first visit to Comic-Con, where the show's strong connection with fans became clear.

As the Season 2 episodes of the podcast continue, Jessica Radloff will be joined by Sara Rue (Leonard's girlfriend Stephanie), John Ross Bowie (Barry Kripke), Christine Baranski (Beverly Hofstadter) and Kevin Sussman (Stuart Bloom), along with more The Big Bang Theory crew members.

The Official Big Bang Theory Podcast is released every Monday on HBO Max and all major podcast platforms, including Amazon, Apple, Spotify, and YouTube.
