  • My favorite podcast

    As a parks and recreation major soon to be entering parks as a career, the Park Leaders Show gives perspectives and information from experienced industry leaders that my university coursework doesn’t touch on. I discovered this podcast earlier this year and had have just finished my last episode. I hope there’s more to come!

  • Worth a listen if you're involved in Parks

    Jody does a great job of keeping you inspired in Parks. I'm a volunteer and am always looking for new ideas to help my Park unit and keeping myself engaged to server the public. Not only have I learned things but Jody has introduce me to other great podcast mentors (Lee Cockerell for example). If you work or care about any Park, give it a listen. It's also a great resource to learn the inner workings of Parks, especially if you are not an employee.
