For those who want to hear my finally say things about the works of Charles M. Schulz, I’m a guest on the just-released episode of It’s A Podcast, Charlie Brown. There I chat with host William Pepper about It’s Only a Game, Hagemeyer, and even Invisible Zeppelin, my podcast sitcom that William wrote an episode of. (You should listen to his episode… but you should start with episode 1 and work your way to it. Then keep going after it.)
And while I’m chatting about my discussing Schulzy stuff off the blog: you know that article I wrote for the Star Trek website about the links between Trek and Peanuts? It was never meant to be definitive and complete, but there were a couple major links that I left out — one which was in my brain while I was pitching the thing but disappeared somehow, one which was not.
Pamelyn Ferdin, who was the frequent voice of Lucy in the Charlie Brown specials, also appeared in the Star Trek original series episode “And the Children Shall Lead” in 1968. (She’s also someone I had a real kid crush on, back in the day.)
And Anthony Rapp, who these days can be seen on Star Trek: Discovery playing Lieutenant Commander Paul Stamets, played Charlie Brown in that 1999 Broadway revival of You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown.
