EPISODE 24: GOOD GRIEF! AUTHOR STEPHEN LIND and THE CHARLIE BROWN & SNOOPY SHOW (ep. 9)

For episode 24 of the podcast, it would be cool if I had a clever tie in to twenty-four hours in a day. But I don't. What I do have is my conversation with Stephen Lind, author of the 2015 book A Charlie Brown Religion, which is much more than a mere Schulz biography. Lind does a deep dive into Schulz's faith and outlook on the world. You need to read this. (After you listen to the conversation, of course.)  We also take a look at episode 9 of "The Charlie Brown & Snoopy Show" from October 29, 1983, in which lots of people are cruel to other people and some of them get punched for it. Including a tree.  We also hear another "Random Strip of the Month" and a review of a "Peanuts by Schulz" short called "Telling Stories". Here's a link to the Tom Lehrer "New Math" bit we talked about.
