I Love This and I Like This

Hi! I love this podcast so much! Your character breakdowns are amazing! And I love how obsessed you are with Ben and Leslie. I love them as a couple so much and I’ll spend time just thinking about them sometimes and all their wonderful interactions. I love the lead-up to them getting together, and Ben’s proposal (and Leslie’s reaction to the proposal) literally had me sitting there with tears in my eyes. It was so wholesome and heartwarming. I was on the verge of crying throughout their exchange of vows (especially when all the black and white clips of them were playing) and when everyone started singing “5000 Candles in the Wind” at their wedding, I literally started crying. So perfect. I love them as a couple and I love Parks and Rec and I love this podcast. I especially love your enthusiasm for everything you talk about. And don’t worry about the filler stuff at the beginning of the episodes. It allows us listeners to get to know you more as a person and keep up with how you’re doing. Lots of podcasts don’t do that, and we don’t really get to know the hosts that well. I love how obviously obsessed you are with Parks and Rec, as am I, and probably most of the people listening. Your enthusiasm, your passion for this show and the characters, the obvious love you have for the show, and the way you cherish the characters make this a stellar podcast. Keep up the great work. And sorry this review was so long. But I’ll never get tired of talking/writing about Parks and Rec. Keep up the great work! And remember the three most important things in life: Friends, Waffles, and Work. (Or waffles, friends and work. Doesn’t matter. But work is third.) :) PS: Could you do an episode on: What If…Andy never fell in the pit? Thanks! PPS: I am literally the world’s BIGGEST Marvel fan. I watch the movies, and the shows, and I read the comics. Do you read the comics? They’re AMAZING!! (Well, most of the ones I’ve read are amazing. There’s 29,000 comics so I haven’t read all of them. Highly suggest reading them though.)

The best Parks and Rec podcast around

The host Bryon (don’t call him Byron) has more knowledge about this show than I do about my own family. The way he breaks down characters and episodes is great and the podcast flies by. Easy listen and a great show.
