  • Fun and Informative Peanutty Podcast

    I’ve learned quite a bit about the Peanuts universe listening to this podcast. It’s fun and interesting, and easy to get into. It’s mostly just the host talking, along with occasional sound bites, making it a little more low-key than many podcasts, which I prefer over trying to listen to multiple people talking over each other. All around a great show.
