Park Pals: A Parks and Recreation Podcast

(S6Ep13) Ann and Chris!

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.
