“One Chicago Podcast” Pulls Back the Curtain: NBC’s Hit Franchise Now Has a Voice Behind the Scenes

NBC’s powerhouse One Chicago franchise — home to Chicago Fire, Chicago P.D., and Chicago Med — is stepping off the screen and into your earbuds. With the launch of the brand-new One Chicago Podcast, the network is offering fans an unprecedented behind-the-scenes look at the stories, stars, and secrets that make Wednesday nights so addictive.

The podcast, hosted by rotating cast members, showrunners, and surprise guests, promises to dive into everything from explosive season finales to emotional character arcs and on-set mishaps. It’s more than just a recap — it’s a direct line to the heart of the franchise.

In the premiere episode, Chicago Fire star David Eigenberg and Chicago Med’s Nick Gehlfuss reflected on the franchise’s beginnings and the real-life bonds they’ve built. From script rewrites to emotional final takes, the podcast highlights just how deeply personal these shows are for the people who make them.

Fans can also expect candid commentary on major storylines, exclusive teases for future episodes, and answers to long-standing fan theories — all delivered with the same emotional punch that defines the One Chicago universe. Each week will focus on a different show, creating a space where diehard viewers from every corner of the franchise can come together.

NBC’s move comes as television increasingly embraces fan-first content, and One Chicago Podcast may be its most intimate offering yet. It’s a smart way to deepen audience engagement and expand the already massive One Chicago community.

Whether you’re a Burgess loyalist, a Firehouse 51 fanatic, or a Med head through and through, this podcast is your all-access pass to the franchise you love — no sirens required.
