Until May 2024, the podcast was recorded at the hosts' home in Los Angeles, before moving to a studio set following their partnership with Tiny Meat Gang studios.[10] [11] In July, they announced their separation from Tiny Meat Gang on Instagram,[12] later returning to the original filming location of their home.
The podcast has also held live events, mainly at university campuses across the United States.[13] [14]
Described as having a "stream-of-consciousness" humor, Emergency Intercom bills itself as a casual conversational and humor podcast hosted by a "best friend duo" Enya Umanzor and Drew Phillips, started during the pandemic "out of boredom."[15] Umanzor is a Miami-born American YouTuber who originally began her online precense on short-form video platform Vine, later moving to Los Angeles, California.[16] After her increased audience on both YouTube and Instagram, Umanzor became closely linked with fashion content creation, creating a "unique" style and collaborating on campaigns such as Miu Miu, Celine and Marc Jacobs.[17] Phillips was born in Granbury, Texas.[18]
As of November 29, 2024, 171 episodes of Emergency Intercom have been released.[19] [20] The show's most frequent guest appearance is vocalist of the band Greer and friend of the hosts Josiah, at six notable appearances, followed by Orion Carloto at three notable appearances on the podcast. Episodes on holiday weeks often feature a special addition, notably the hosts in-costume for each year's Halloween. Such episodes often featuring Josiah alongside the duo for the duration of the podcast. Episodes in which the hosts are in long distance from each other are often recorded on Zoom; and as stated by host Enya are her "favorite," leaving "more space for absurd jokes."
