Retta was a standout on PARKS & REC, but she was originally just featured background! That story, along with her early standup days, meeting Amy Poehler for the first time, and why she left a career in Chemistry at DUKE to pursue acting, makes this episode a repeat listen for sure! You're gonna love her as much as we do. Enjoy the hell out of this one, and follow Retta on TWITTER @unfoRETTABLE.
