The podcast is HUGE this month! We've got not one, but TWO, er...Peanuts? Peanuts kids? Peanuts gang members? Both Melanie Kohn, who was Lucy in several of the specials from the seventies, as well as the film "Race for Your Life, Charlie Brown" AND Duncan Watson who was Charlie Brown in that film and several specials are here. TOGETHER! I hid the footballs.

Then we've got "The Snoopy Show", S2, episode 5, another "Random Strip of the Month" and a "Peanuts by Schulz" short titled "It's Just No Good".

It might still be summer, but SCHOOL IS BACK IN SESSION in episode 76! 

Yay....?

This month we've got the BRAND NEW Apple TV+ special just released on August 12 - LUCY'S SCHOOL. The kids crave an Endless Summer. Can Lucy deliver?

Then because numbers are hard, we skip over episode 3 of THE SNOOPY SHOW and watch episode 4 instead. Guess I should have gone to Lucy's School. 

Plus, we've got a "Peanuts by Schulz" episode and another Random Strip of the Month. 

Do we have any other capitalized segment titles? You'll just have to listen and find out.

Beagles to the left of me!

Beagles to the right of me!

Beagles everywhere!

It must be a Beaglefest! The annual Beaglefest celebration coming up in August in Santa Rosa that is! Peanuts Collectors' Club president Kathy Magrane is on the show in episode 75 this month to tell us all about it, all about the club, and (maybe) how Snoopy made her the tennis player she is today.

We've also got a review of "The Snoopy Show", season 2, episode 3. We've got a "Peanuts by Schulz" episode and another "Random Strip of the Month". And much, much more.

Good grief!

Episode 74 is here with love. And it's no small thing! 

(Seriously, this thing is like two hours long. Get comfy.)

This month, we take a gander at the latest offerings from Apple TV+, Wildbrain and Peanuts Worldwide. First up: "It's the Small Things, Charlie Brown" in which Sally has dandelion-angst. Then we watch "To Mom (and Dad) With Love", in which everyone, especially Peppermint Patty, has Mother's Day angst. 

We also have another "Random Strip of the Month" and a "Peanuts by Schulz" episode. 

Also, if you haven't already, check out the bonus episode where I describe my thoughts after seeing a production of "Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead".

Hey, everybody. I took a little break from producing the latest episode to enjoy a little theatre. I attended opening night of a production of Bert V. Royal's play "Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead", a reimagining of the Peanuts kids as teenagers dealing with some heavy issues. Homophobia, suicide, sex, drugs, death and life. Good grief there's a lot of stuff. 

Anyway, here's a bonus episode with my thoughts.

(If you want to hear me talk more about the play and Bert Royal, as well as my chat with the director of a different production of the play, check out episode 55. 

In episode 73, either all those voices in my head have spilled out onto the podcast, OR this episode is nearly bursting at the seams with INTERVIEWS! Good grief!

We've got the hosts of the new podcast "Unpacking Peanuts": Jimmy Gownley, Michael Cohen and Harold Buchholz. I tried real hard not to let my jealousy over their perfect pod-naming color our conversation.

THEN, for the first time since this pod was in it's 30's (episode numbers, that is), author/illustrator Jason Yungbluth returns. He's got a follow up to his Peanuts-in-a-Dsytopian-Hellscape graphic novel "Weapon Brown" called "Weapon Brown: Aftershock". And YOU can help make it happen by supporting the Kickstarter. 

Exclusive: I'm told MAYBE, just maybe, if the kickstarter meets its stretch goal, I could be immortalized as a (probably gruesomely killed) character in a "Weapon Brown" story. So gather your pennies!

We've also got a "Random Strip of the Month", a review of another "Peanuts by Schulz" and a Snoopy bigger-on-the-inside doghouse of other stuff.

Listen, the reality is many of us Peanuts fans are...of a certain age. But guess what, "You Don't Look 40, Charlie Brown", so that's something!

This month, we look at that 1990 TV special celebrating 40 years of the strip. Then we look at "The Snoopy Show", season 2, episode2. We've got a "Peanuts by Schulz" episode called "Beauty Contest" and another "Random Strip of the Month".

The glow of the Peanuts Universe is a bit dimmer this month in episode 70 of IT'S A PODCAST, CHARLIE BROWN. Peter Robbins, the original voice of Charlie Brown on TV and film passed away at age 65 after a life full of highs and far two many lows. We take a few minutes this episode to remember him.

We also talk about episode 13 of season 1 of Apple TV's "The Snoopy Show", enjoy a "Random Strip of the Month", a "Peanuts by Schulz" episode called "The Last of the Bunch" and many other things not in quotations.

In episode 69, we find out just why The Great Pumpkin never came around - he was too disappointed in his blockheaded hired guns! 

We're watching the legendary 1986 student film "Bring Me the Head of Charlie Brown" in which the Great Pumpkin puts out a hit on our man Chuck and the Peanuts kids try to collect.

We also check out "The Snoopy Show", season 1, episode 12, which is decidedly less violent. 

We also have an episode of "Peanuts by Schulz", a "Random Strip of the Month" and other things. So put down your weapons and pick up your pod-listening device!

Remember how when we were kids, we'd celebrate New Year's Eve at, like, 5 p.m. because midnight was too far away? Episode 68 of IT'S A PODCAST, CHARLIE BROWN is a little like that.

Even though this episode drops December 15, we're going to a New Year's Eve party! We've got the BRAND NEW special "Snoopy Presents: For Auld Lang Syne". How new? So new, I had to cram my review of it into the rest of the pre-recorded episode to get it out to you!

Then we check out S1, episode 11 of "The Snoopy Show", a "Peanuts by Schulz" short called "On the Campaign Trail" and enjoy another "Random Strip of the Month".

Before "Peanuts", there was "Li'l Folks"! In episode 65 of IT'S A PODCAST, CHARLIE BROWN, we chat a little about Sparky's single-panel comic that he did before "Peanuts". How different would our world be had he syndicated that one instead of "Peanuts"? Artist Robert Pope returns to the podcast to discuss that very question...and many others.

We've also got S1, ep 8 of AppleTV's "The Snoopy Show", another "Random Strip of the Month" (Send us an Mp3 of your own!) and a "Peanuts by Schulz" review for the episode "Frieda".

Our guest is museum archivist Sarah Breaux. You can ask her anything about Peanuts...the comic, not the legume. 

After that, we discuss the new Apple TV+ documentary "Who Are You, Charlie Brown?" Maybe they should have asked Sarah.

IT'S A PODCAST, CHARLIE BROWN episode 62 offers up shocks - Schulz wasn't a one-comic man in the '50s! He also did, with Jim Sasseville, the sport-themed gag panels "It's Only a Game". The scandal!

Tearful goodbyes - episode 6 of "The Snoopy Show" is the S1 finale!

And the makings of an international incident - Author/publisher/"peanuts nerd" Nat Gertler tells us why we should hate Canada. As if we needed another reason! (Kidding!)

I am on record as saying Woodstock is one of my favorite characters, so I was thrilled to have voice actor Rob Tinkler on episode 60 of IT'S A PODCAST, CHARLIE BROWN. We talk about how he gets inside the head of a little yellow bird who doesn't talk to voice Woodstock on "The Snoopy Show" and "Snoopy in Space". We also talk about other things he's worked on and the craft of voice acting.

Also on this episode: a discussion of "The Snoopy Show", season 1, episode 4; another "Peanuts by Schulz", titled "Have a Nice Day, Linus", and we find out Rob's favorite "Random Strip of the Month"!

Interesting title, Brandon. And the group of adult friends gathering together for a funeral look awfully familiar. Hmmm. We'll ask Brandon about that.

"The Snoopy Show" debuted on February 5 and this month on episode 58 of IT'S A PODCAST, CHARLIE BROWN, we watch and discuss the first two episodes of the six-episode season one. Is the show a tasty, televisual meal of jelly beans and toast or the bitter disappointment of a pulled-away football?

We also take a few minutes to talk about one of our favorite characters as Marcie undergoes a character study.

Remember travel? It's a thing people used to do before the pandemic.

This month in episode 57, we vicariously take a trip abroad as Peppermint Patty, Marcie, Snoopy, Linus and good ol' Charlie Brown become exchange students in France. But mystery awaits our intrepid travelers. Who is Silas Brown? Who is Violette? Why were Linus and Charlie Brown invited to stay at a creepy old chateau? How dangerous is the baron who vows to get rid of them no matter the consequences? How is Snoopy paying for all that root beer?

From 1980, it's the fourth Peanuts feature film, BON VOYAGE, CHARLIE BROWN (And Don't Come Back!) Oh la la!

Plus, the "Peanuts by Schulz" short "Creepy Crawlies" and another Random Strip of the Month!

We may still be in the time of Covid, but episode 55 of the podcast is going to the theatre...virtually. We're exploring Bert V. Royal's 2004 play "Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead". It's a self-described "Peanuts parody" imagining the Peanuts gang as teens dealing with LGBTQ issues, substance abuse, violence and issues of identity and place in the world. 

To give us some perspective on why we need this play and why we need it right now, we chat with Muscatine (Iowa) Community College theatre director Alyssa Oltmanns, whose controversial production of "Dog Sees God" premieres virtually on November 20 and 21, 2020. Proceeds of the play go to support Clock Inc. of the Quad Cities.

The good man in question is, of course, our man Chuck Brown. We talk about the history of iconic stage musical YOU'RE A GOOD MAN, CHARLIE BROWN. We cover the original 1966 "concept" album to the 1967 off-Broadway production, to Broadway, to TV (including the 1985 animate feature) and beyond.
