  • Happiness is a New Podcast

    So glad I found this “new” podcast. Good grief, it’s new to me. I started with the 50 Years of Happiness episode and, as a result, found a first edition of the book to add to my collection. It’s the Great Podcast. Thank you!

  • I’m a big Peanuts fan, but…

    They could pep it up a bit. Livelier guests with better stories. That actually go somewhere.

    And Melissa. Lord have mercy, she could put at least 65% more energy into the episodes, maybe?

    BUT I do love the episodes about incorporating Peanuts into the world of art.

  • Who doesn’t love Snoopy!

    I found this podcast and as a BIG Snoopy and the Peanuts gang fan. I am loving this podcast. So much history in each episode, I don’t want them to end. I used to read the Peanuts comic strip with my dad every Sunday growing up, we just couldn’t wait to see what they were all up too. Thank you so much for this podcast!!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Snoopy and the Peanuts gang in the world of licensing
Q: What was Sparky's approach to approving new deals and designers' work?
Sparky trusted his business manager and a single approvals person to vet most products, and he would only weigh in on decisions that required his input. He insisted on preserving his line art and style guides, avoiding redrawing his characters, and preferred working with partners who respected the brand's voice and visual identity.
Snoopy and the Peanuts gang in the world of licensing
Q: So licensing is a business where someone who has an IP licenses it to a company that uses it in products or services. Can you summarize how Peanuts licensing worked in its early days?
Licensing involved an approvals process with a dedicated person in Sparky's office, a small team handling artwork and product categories, and Sparky weighing in on bigger or unique deals while staying true to his line art and brand philosophy. The team built a robust portfolio of licensees with strict standards, large partnerships, and careful consideration of product fit, ensuring the brand image remained consistent across markets.
Stepping into ICE! A Charlie Brown Christmas (Bonus episode)
Q: How long does it take to go through the whole thing?
