Melissa and Damian kick off this new season with a conversation with Chris Bracco, the executive vice president creative director of the Charles M. Schulz studio, who dives into all things Peanuts in the world of watches. The trio discusses the partnerships with brands such as Omega, Timex, and Bamford; the process of designing and approving product, and how the Apple Watch faces came to be.

In this holiday bonus episode, our hosts speak with the senior director of special events and creative for ICE!, an immersive holiday experience that features the beloved A Charlie Brown Christmas.

This week Melissa and Damian speak with Derrick Bang - whose book, 50 years of happiness: A tribute to Charles M. Schulz, is the reference guide for Peanuts employees to gain even deeper knowledge of the brand. We dive in to all things Peanuts, as well as Derrick's other works that encapsulate the world of the iconic comic strip.

Snoopy is one of the most beloved characters in all of comics. Known for his many personas and lovable energy - he is truly one of a kind. In this episode, we speak with Judy Sladky, the woman who has been appearing as the beagle for over 40 years, who shares what it is truly like to "be" Snoopy.

In honor of the release of the official book celebration of the 75th anniversary of Peanuts, Creative Director Emeritus of Charles M. Schulz Creative Associates, Paige Braddock, joins us to talk about her contributions to the book, as well as the history and the legacy of Schulz's art.

Long before the viral puffer coat plush, Snoopy was turning comic fans into committed collectors. In this episode, Peanuts Collectors Club President Kathy Magrane talks to Melissa and Damian about some of the world’s most famous beagle’s biggest fanatics and the ultimate Peanuts party: Beaglefest.
