Epiosode 1: Charlie Brown's All-Stars & The Wright Brothers at Kitty Hawk

Welcome to episode one of a new, monthly podcast which really just amounts to an excuse for me to rewatch dozens of classic Peanuts specials and films. This month, we discuss “Charlie Brown’s All-Stars”, which was the 1966 follow-up to the instant classic “A Charlie Brown Christmas.” Does it honor it’s predecessor? Then, we watch episode 3 of the 1988 series “This is America, Charlie Brown” and learn things. In a cartoon! Madness!

My thanks to Henry Pope for the use of his “Linus & Lucy” Remix. You can find that and more of his music here.

Thanks also to Kevin McLeod at Incompetech.com for Creative Commons use of his songs “Bass Walker” and “Mining by Moonlight”.

Can’t wait a whole month to hear my voice again? Check out my weekly podcast Atari Bytes.
