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". 

Pop open a root beer and join the party!

You, dear listener, are even luckier than Woodstock soaring across the Browns' backyard with that wishbone. YOU get to listen to episode 67 of IT'S A PODCAST, CHARLIE BROWN!

This month, Luke Epplin, author of the new book "Our Team: The Epic Story of Four Men and the World Series That Changed Baseball", drops by to chat about baseball, the intersection of "Peanuts" and baseball, and whether "Peanuts" is "art".

We've also got a review of "The Snoopy Show" episode 10, the "Peanuts by Schulz" episode "A Little Nap" and another "Random Strip of the Month".

Episode 66 offers up a treat better than even the Great Pumpkin could provide. (Kidding! I didn't mean it, Great Pumpkin!)

We've got a discussion of "The Snoopy Show" S1, Ep 9 AND we take a little time to talk about MY MOST FAVORITIST OF ALL THE TIMES AWESOMEST CHARACTER EVER! ...Woodstock! (Now imagine Woodstock's excited chirping.)

We've also got a review of the "Peanuts by Schulz" episode "The School of Hard Knocks" and another "Random Strip of the Month" review.

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".

So. Much. Stuff. Start listening!

We've got author Jason Cooper and artist Robert Pope discussing the legacy of Peanuts and their latest Peanuts graphic novel SCOTLAND BOUND, CHARLIE BROWN from Charles M. Schulz Creative Associates and Boom! Studios. We also talk about actor/comedian David Spade. Really. To a weird degree.

In IT'S A PODCAST, CHARLIE BROWN episode 63, we go deep into the dark closets, boxes and hidden recesses of the endless Snoopy's doghouse that is the Charles M. Schulz Museum & Research Center. 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. 

We've also got an episode of "Peanuts by Schulz" called "A Friend Indeed" and a "Random Strip of the Month".

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!)

And, of course, there's another "Peanuts by Schulz" episode review and a "Random Strip of the Month".

Can't get enough Peanuts on TV, in newsprint, comic books, phone apps, museums, collectibles and underwear?

I feel you.

And so did record publishers in the late seventies and eighties when "Charlie Brown Read-Along Records" debuted. We talk about them this month!

We also talk about "The Snoopy Show" season 1, episode 5, a "Peanuts by Schulz" episode called "Technical Difficulties" AND another "Random Strip of the Month".

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"!

In episode 59, we're going to the movies! Our guest this month is actor Brandon Ford Green. We're talking about his 2017 movie "Good Grief", which he wrote, directed and appears in. Interesting title, Brandon. And the group of adult friends gathering together for a funeral look awfully familiar. Hmmm. We'll ask Brandon about that.

We also talk about "The Snoopy Show" episode 3, another random strip of the month and a "Peanuts by Schulz" short called "Novel Idea". 

It's a feast for your earholes!

Guess what! There's new Peanuts content on our TV's! Well, those of us who have Apple TV+, but it's still pretty exciting!

"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.

AND...another "Peanuts by Schulz" review and "Random Strip of the Month".

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!
