Episode 418: It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown - the book

Welcome to more spooky season goodness.  This year, at the beginning of October in fact, marks the 75th anniversary of Peanuts.  It's the 59th anniversary of the animated special It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, but the 66th anniversary of the first mention of the Great Pumpkin from 1959! So to celebrate all those, and the fact that James just read this book, we're discussing the book "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, the Making of a Television Classic" by Lee Mendelson (with remembrances by Bill Melendez).   We won't give it all away.  You should go buy the book.  But we do talk about a few neat things, regarding the making of the show, between this and other found interviews. So pour yourself a pint of pumpkin juice and enjoy with sincerity! Next week's midweek spooky season episode is on the spooky haunts of Mulligan's (Dublin) Pub.   Get in touch with us at Podbean: https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-4pksr-a17e1a Or on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/twinterrorsmacabremanormeadmetalmayhe/ Or on twitter: @Terrors_Manor On Instagram: @macabremanormeadmetalmayhem You can also find our podcast on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon, and I Heart Radio; pretty much wherever fine (and our) podcasts are aired.
