I don’t know about you, but Thanksgiving makes me think of Charlie Brown and Snoopy. So, this week, we’re going to do some Peanuts Trivia for this week’s show.

Here in the US, it’s Thanksgiving week. A time for food, fun, and traditions. One of the traditions in our house to sit and watch some of the Peanuts holiday specials.

This week’s show features a promo for a very cool little podcast, Tea Time Thoughts.

A lot of people find history or reading or classical music boring, but I’m determined to take things out of the classroom setting and show you how fun it can be! In the time it takes to make a cup of tea, I’ll teach you everything from the Black Plague to Opera to Pride and Prejudice. We’re going to tackle it all in a fun, laid-back setting!

I’m Caylyn and welcome to a little corner of the Internet where we can talk history, arts, music, culture, philosophy, literature, and more! Have a cup of tea with me and let’s chat!
