(S5Ep2) Soda Tax!

Park Pals: A Parks and Recreation Podcast

SO MANY GUEST STAR VOICE MEMOS! So many incredible visuals and government tax opinions!!!! And Madi is here!
For the first hour, we hear from 3 guest stars that were in our Season 5 premiere of Ms. Knope Goes to Washington.
First, *Jenny Anne Hochberg* @jenny.anne.hochberg incredible BTS of shooting in DC, giving Leslie a fist "pound", telling Pratt that she's a pretty princess after getting hair/makeup, and more deleted scenes that we didn't get to hear! Make sure you check out her acting classes here!

Second, *Jessica Hansen* @jessacts, who is an amazing voice actor and coach and was so sweet to send me a voice memo even though her incredible new studio isn't set up yet! Learning about John Hay from the Hay-Adams hotel being in Abe Lincoln's administration, John McCain leading her around on set, and shooting for 10 or 11 takes!
Her Coaching Studio: SigSound.net

Third, *Amy Tolsky* @amy.tolsky, loved learning about Dean Holland's direction informed her performance, compliments to the best hair and makeup team, plus you can watch her on Quiz Lady (with Awkwafina and Sandra Oh) and an iPhone 15 commercial! She also has some amazing projects that she has coming up. :)

THANK YOU ALL!
Then after an hour of the best voice memos ever from the first episode of Season 5, we venture into Soda Tax! We discuss cringe Ben, the insane amount of sugar consumed PER MONTH, and we watch Andy defeat external goals while Chris learns internal goals are just as important. :) We also learn where Tom got that golf cart *eye roll*
Lastly, we get an amazing voice memo from *Bobby Reed* who played the purse stealer in the townhall! He has an incredible bio on IMDB (below), tells us what this episode was originally called and reminds us that Kyle Newachek, the director, IS TALL! Oh ps - he gets paid the most from these residuals and that makes me happy that Parks pays him.
