Episode 6: A Charlie Brown Christmas
from Beyond the Lens (with Eric, Rico and PJ) · host Rico Robbins
In our final episode on Christmas-themed specials (and the final one for 2018), we discuss PJ’s favorite Christmas special, the Emmy Award-winning special A Charlie Brown Christmas. Eric, Rico, and PJ discuss the film’s message on the true meaning of Christmas and it’s effect on the trio’s Christmas spirit. For a non-traditional film as far as Christmas specials go, executives and producers who worked on the film did not think it would perform well, and it’s surprise success is also discussed. The podcast ends with a public domain recording of “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing” performed by the U.S. Army Band "Pershing's Own” Chorus, as this is the song that closes out this famous special. And from Rico, Eric, and PJ, from our family to yours, happy holidays, and here’s to a happy 2019!
