    (S7Ep12) One Last Ride, Part 2!

    Happy October! A new season, a new episode, a new change. :) Today, we round out the futures of the Parks gang. The swing gets fixed (without a thank you, in true Parks fashion), Ron takes an exciting new job, Chris and Ann make an appearance, and Leslie is finally ready.  Big shouts to Mike Schur and Greg Daniels for creating this show, teaching us about the importance of incrementalism, community and trying to do it with people you love. Cast and crew, we are forever indebted to you for creating our comfort show, and creating a home for us to always return to. Big shouts to YOU for listening, for rating, for reviewing, for being with us and supporting us as we learn about our favorite TV show. Please keep the love coming by interacting on social media or emailing or however you can, even if it's volunteering at a Park or just GOING to a Park! Don't forget  - there's always a Leslie out there, and there's always a Parks gang out there, so be kind and be good. 3  David Bickford IG: https://www.instagram.com/Bickford.David/ Lake Gregory, CA aka Pawnee National Park: https://www.lakegregory.com/ Support the show Rate and review us on Apple Podcasts!

    Our Conversation with Jennifer Keishin Armstrong!

    Please welcome the only other lady (besides Leslie Knope) to write a book on Pawnee! Today is a great day to recap the whole series, and amazing to do it with someone who has researched more than I have! We'll talk about the trajectory of becoming a pop culture historian and how she's the real-life Shauna Malwae Tweep! We talk about how audiences and critics received Parks after the Office, Chris and Ben changing our journey, Obama-era incremtalism, feminism and yes, we do talk about Mark Brandanawicz, because I needed it. We also give huge shouts to Amy Poehler, Morgan Sackett, Mike Schur, Dean Holland, Greg Daniels and so many more for giving us this gift of a show/comfort and for being the example you wish to see in the world. Also, major shouts to all the Leslie's of the world giving us Christmas Spectaculars, Harvest Festivals and more 3 We love you.  Thank you Jennifer for stopping by, and please be sure to follow her and buy her book(s) anywhere you get books! So fun!!!!!  https://jenniferkarmstrong.com/ https://www.instagram.com/jmkarmstrong/?hl=en Support the show Rate and review us on Apple Podcasts!
