A.P. Bio: The Podcast dropped yesterday (Tuesday, Aug. 18) in preparation for the series' third season, which launches Sept. 3 on Peacock. This marks the first podcast series for Peacock, NBCUniversal's new streaming service. Join hosts and fellow castmates Eddie Leavy ("Anthony") and Sari Arambulo ("Grace") on A.P. Bio: The Podcast as they chat with guests, including A.P. Bio series creator Mike O'Brien, stars Glenn Howerton ("Jack") and Patton Oswalt ("Principal Durbin"), and additional cast members. Listen to get insider access to the A.P. Bio cast and crew as they reveal behind-the-scenes anecdotes, audition stories, character evolutions and more.
When disgraced Harvard philosophy scholar Jack Griffin (Glenn Howerton, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia) loses out on his dream job, he is forced to return to Toledo, Ohio, and work as a high school Advanced Placement biology teacher. As he comes crashing into Whitlock High School, Jack makes it absolutely clear that he will not be teaching any biology. Realizing he has a room full of honor roll students at his disposal, Jack decides instead to use the kids' brainpower for his own benefit. But are his students instead helping him to realize his dream job might actually be the one he has right now? Eager to prove that he is still king of the castle, Principal Durbin (Patton Oswalt, Veep) struggles to control the force of nature that is Jack Griffin. The series also stars Mary Sohn (Work in Progress), Lyric Lewis (Baskets), Jean Villepique (Sharp Objects) and Paula Pell (Saturday Night Live).
A.P. Bio: The Podcast adds to the catalog of podcasts released by NBC Entertainment Podcast Network, including The Law & Order SVU: The Squadroom, Late Night with Seth Meyers Podcast, The Good Place: The Podcast, Brooklyn Nine-Nine: The Podcast and American Ninja Warrior Podcast.
