Hosted by Melissa Menta, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Communications for Peanuts Worldwide (she's worked with the Peanuts crew for over 20 years), and David Templeton, an arts and entertainment journalist for the Press-Democrat, the new podcast is subtitled "The Untold Stories Behind the Greatest Comic Strip of All Times", and will feature interviews and behind-the-scenes stories from the world of Peanuts in its many forms.
The first episode, on the timely subject of "The Untold Stories of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade Peanuts Balloons," is available now.
Future episodes of "You Don't Know Peanuts" will include Jason Mendelson (son of legendary Peanuts writer/producer Lee Mendelson) with making-of stories from the classic animated specials; Marissa Nance of Native Tongue Communication discussing Franklin’s origin story; artist Eli Sudbrack on the Peanuts Global Artist Collective; and Hallmark archivist Samantha Stephens on the Peanuts brand’s history with Hallmark.
Each episode will also feature "love letters" from fans about the impact of Peanuts on their lives, and trivia challenges.
