Cutler.[1] The executive producers are R.J. Cutler, Scott Conroy, and Jason Blum. The producer is Trevor Smith.[2] The writers are R.J.

R.J. Cutler describes coming up with the idea for the podcast: "I'm not alone, I think, these days in being fairly obsessed with what's going on in Washington D.C., what's happening at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., and it occurred to me that if we could hear what was going on within the rooms there, the private rooms, it'd be very interesting, and that's what The Oval Office Tapes is."[5]
