Murfreesboro Parks and Recreation is wrapping up a massive summer season and gearing up for an exciting fall transition. Host Bryan Barrett sits down with Nate Williams to r

"We probably have some sense of what narrative is. So when your brain starts turning into the little movie camera because this is a juicy scene, then it's like, well, what would I want to show? What what would I want to know here?" says Jennifer Keishin Armstrong, author of Parks and Rec: The Underdog TV Show That Lit'rally Inspired a Vision for a Better America.Dude, we have Jennifer Keishin Armstrong here today. What brings her to the CNF Pod-o-Verse is her latest book, her ninth, titled Parks and Rec: The Underdog TV Show That Lit-rally Inspired a Vision for a Better America. It's published by Dutton with a forward by Nick Offerman. Jennifer also is the best selling author of Seinfeldia, and we talk about that as well, how timing is everything and there are so many things out of our control … She can be found @jmkarmstrong on IG and jenniferkamrstrong.com.OK, so Jennifer's Parks book came out earlier this year and it's a wonderful, breezy read about one of my all-time favorite TV shows, a show that is deeply important to me. We watch it all the time. We own the DVDs so we actually OWN it, not beholden to the whims of streaming platforms who can deplatform shows at the click of a mouse, presumably. Jennifer's book takes you behind the scenes with actors, writers, producers and shares never before told anecdotes and insights as to why this show has such staying power despite nearly being cancelled after every season. So, yes, we talk about Parks, but we mainly talk about: Dictionaries When your brain turns into a movie camera Jennifer's “practice book” she never talks about Her guidelines for pursuing a book How the dialogue around TV has changed in the last 25 years The ruthlessness of story craft How Parks got out from under the shadow of The Office Serendipity and non-meritocracy Living on the long tail Lessons from the Parks run And all the things out of our controlInstagram: @creativenonfictionpodcastSubstack: welcometopitchclub.substack.com

The draft Parks and Recreation Master Plan, released on May 20, created a firestorm over its recommendations. In particular, references to the use of parks by unsheltered people and to the availability of syringe disposal boxes in parks were among several controversial suggestions. Cobourg Mayor Lucas Cleveland released a statement in response to the public outcry, saying enough is enough. In it, he assured the public that the contentious sections would be addressed. Five frontline agencies wrote an open letter responding to the mayor's statement. This further stoked the community debate. On today's show, one of the contributors to the open letter, Alicia Vandine, Executive Director of the Northumberland United Way, will talk about the letter, its intent, and its contents. If this concerns you, then you will want to hear what she has to say.
