It's a Podcast, Charlie Brown

Much like Schroeder pulls great art from a little toy piano, 142 pulls a dandy episode from my meager talent. We've got This Month in Peanuts History, a look at an episode of "Peanuts by Schulz" called "Even the Score", and we take a look at the greatest pianist since Rachmaninov as Schroeder gets his own Character Study. What's he like? Why is he like that? What's his role in the strip? Why piano and not the pan flute? So many questions. And we address them all in 142!

In episde 141, tragedy and deprivation abound. Spirits alight up Camp Springlake in "Camp Snoopy", S1, Ep 12, while the gang stalks Charlie Brown to take what's his.

In 140, we dig through the basement and drag the old timey console television upstairs so we can watch the 1973 Hallmark Hall of Fame production of "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown". Did Hallmark do a good job with this classic or are they a one trick pony - capable of cards for when you care enough to send the very best, but not TV for when you care enough to WATCH the very best?  We've also got a "Peanuts by Schulz" called "That Day" and This Month in Peanuts History.

And we've got a discussion of season 1, episode1 of a BRAND NEW SNOOPY SERIES! "Camp Snoopy" just debuted on Apple TV and we're talking about it. This could be good. Spending the summer with the Beagle Scouts doesn't sound so bad. But ... In this month's Random Strip of the Month, listener Lynn presents a storyline from the strip that is maybe kind of in bad taste. So do we hate Peanuts now?

In episode 114, we find out that everything we thought we knew about Charles Schulz is a lie.  Ok, Not really. But it turns out despite a reputation for never working with an assistant, there was an exception - the original comic books published in the late fifties and early sixties.

We'll take a few minutes this episode talking specifically about Dale Hale - his Peanuts work and more.

Good grief! Episode 99 features the usual root beer-and-pizza level joy: news from the Peanuts universe, a Random Strip of the Month - this time from friend of the podcast and series director for "The Snoopy Show" Rob Boutilier. And then.... Recently, I read Monte Schulz's 2022 novel "Metropolis". Since the remit of this podcast is anything and everything in AND around the "Peanuts" universe, I decided that was close enough. So let's talk about it!

When you think of Peanuts, what's the first thing that comes to mind? Wrong! Obviously, the answer is Shermy! The OG Peanuts superstar! Peanuts wouldn't exist without him. If that October 2, 1950 strip was just a boy and girl silently watch a round-headed kid walk by, also silently, it's unlikely Peanuts would have become the cultural icon it is today. I mean, at least Shermy thinks so probably. In this episode, we take a few minutes to break down who Shermy Plepler was and his impact (Or lack thereof. Let's be honest.) on the strip. We also look at This Month in Peanuts History for June and watch another "Peanuts by Schulz" titled "The Mysteries of Love". Good grief! That's a lot of show! Join us, won't you?
