“We need to remember what’s important in life: friends, waffles, work. Or waffles, friends, work. Doesn’t matter, but work is third.” - Leslie Knope
"Waffles Friends Work" is a podcast that talks "Parks & Recreation" with real-life Leslie Knopes: women in public service making change in their communities. Join hosts Kathryn Baxter and Emma McAuley for a discussion of local government, powerful women, and every episode of this beloved NBC sitcom. It’s like Galentine’s Day every week!

0.13 A Special Galentine's Day Episode
Happy Galentine's Day! Is it a national holiday yet? It should be. In this very special Galentine's Day episode, we take a look back at all of our previous guests and have gathered insights and advice from each of our 66 guests into this one episode. We revisit why so many of our guests felt inspired to be a public servant, what lessons they have learned in their roles, and what advice they have for other women in public service. We hope your Galentine's Day is full of affirmations from the Galentine's in your life (aka, the noble land mermaids and powerful musk-oxens who walk among us)

5.05 Halloween Surprise
In "Halloween Surprise" we gush over the house Leslie and Ben are going to move into, forget that Mark Brendanowicz existed, and bemoan the gang's treatment of Jerry after his fart attack (you're welcome, Tom). We also discuss the main event of the episode - Ben and Leslie's iconic proposal at the of the episode.
We add U.S. Representative Jahana Hayes, former Teacher of the Year and representative from Connecticut's 5th District, to our Wall of Inspirational Women.
Customer Reviews
Leslie Knope would be proud
A MUST for any Parks & Rec fan or good American in general, WFW is the perfect balance of nostalgia and inspiration. It's so fun to re-live one of the greatest shows of all time through both the lens of entertainment and real world impact. Pairing that with conversations with "real life Leslie Knopes" makes this podcast the perfect ray of sunshine in our current political storm. Even April Ludgate would approve.
Even greater than expected
As someone who loves parks a rec, I was pumped to listen to this podcast. But these two women take a fun television show as a premise, and then do so much more. Each week I get to learn about "real life Leslie Knopes" - women who are doing incredible things in their community, as well as historical or current famous inspirational women. And they are funny to boot! I definitely recommend it.
