But none of it would have registered were it not for stellar performances from the show’s supporting cast. And the latest crossover between “The Envelope” and “The Times” podcasts brings a conversation with one of the show’s standouts: Hannah Waddingham. In today’s episode, “The Envelope” co-host Yvonne Villarreal speaks with Waddingham about her turn as the hero’s initially vindictive and cynical boss, Rebecca. In Season 2, she shows a softer side — embracing her love of the sport and her team, dating, and re-connecting with her goddaughter. “I wouldn’t say I miss her hard edges,” says Waddingham, who’s known for playing imposing roles (i.e., the “shame nun” Septa Unella in “Game of Thrones”).
