Park Pals: A Parks and Recreation Podcast – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Tbh, this episode should be called Ann and Leslie, but we get it :( What a beautiful send off for our Ann and Chris - the parties, the groundbreaking, the headlocks, all of it! Thank you writers, Aisha Muharrar and Mike Schur and director, Dean Holland, for making this such a magical moment for the fans to say farewell and see you soon. <3 <3 Plus, the green park bench, Tom Petty and a drone shot?! Come on. Perfect. 

PS, yes we talk about why they left. lol

Thank you to Christopher Wolfe for sending in amazing voice memos about BTS from Farmer's Market! So fun and detailed! 

Don't forget to rate and review please and HAPPY HOLIDAYS! Thank you for a great 2025 year of Parks! 

Also a quote I found later that I didn't mention: "Rashida has a producing gig at Warner Bros. and she just sold a TV show yesterday -- I hope I'm not breaking that news -- and she's really focusing more on writing. And as I writer, I fully support that," he added.

When the writers talked about what they have planned for Ann and Chris with Jones, "she was totally on board. The real headline is that everyone is happy. There's no controversy," Schur pointed out.

Adam Scott's directorial debut, Chard Bodies, Connies Cabbage, Whine and Cheese Club, and of course Leslie and Ben's quest for balance at home and at work. "You can't escape city hall, fool!" Omg, plus, the birth of the name/character, JOHNNY KARATE! So many amazing stories and beginnings :)

Today, Leslie fights for our voting rights!!!!!!! 

We talk about the history of the filibuster, the (early) 90s vibes, and get an awesome location breakdown for the skating rink, which is now a resource of the unhoused in the Los Angeles valley (follow the links below)! 

We also have a tangent regarding Orphan Black starring Tatiana Maslany, who plays Nadia, (check that out when you can, it's on Netflix now!) Also, we come up with a new friendship name of "Ronna" for Donna and Ron spending time together! Love!

What an episode! We have a ton of guest stars (thank you!), and Brookelynn Constant is back, yay!!! Brookelynn is so smart and knows so much more than Holly, time capsules are stupid (there are real life examples we discuss), and there were biblical references up in this episode?! Plus, so much BTS and Twilight talk!!!!!

Thank you Jeanne Simpson, Carlo Mendez, and Kelly Hawthorne for sending in voice memos and Jeffrey Markle for sending emails!

Join Holly, Madi and Sean as we go on the cringiest episode of Parks yet! Ann goes out with Chris to entice him to give money to the Parks department and Leslie throws her under the bus for it. Tough look. Meanwhile, Andy is in love with April but she has a new Venezuelan boyfriend! And then Ron flaunts his new lover Wendy so Tom is a jerk to Lucy at the basketball game making everyone look awful and selfish. Oh dear, chaos! But now we have the Harvest Festival idea, yay!!!! Thanks to David Trice for sending in a voice memo about what it was like to hit on Chris Traeger at the Bulge, we appreciate you!

Don't forget to follow @southerncall for updates on Sean and Cierra's new album coming out soon!!!!

Truly,
Madi and Holly

This week we're joined by the amazing Cooper Thornton aka Dr Harris!!!!! He was wonderful to talk to and answered all of our questions with such generosity! We talk all about Parks and his process for Dr Harris, but did you know he was in the Office (yes! - sadly it was cut), he went to the Welsh School of Drama (and did fight choreo at his professor's wedding?!), he is a competitive swimmer and he's from Nashville?!? (Holly was excited) Please enjoy Cooper's interview and be sure to follow him on his blog below in the mental health space (hilarious and deep at the same time) and all of his social media accounts. THANK YOU!

Please read his blog!
