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!

Episode Intro
Good grief,more trivia?
That’s right folks. This week, we’re diving into those lovable characters from Charles Schulz, the Peanuts. I’m your host, Brian Rollins and this is episode 148 of the Dorky Geeky Nerdy Trivia Podcast. The holidays are a great time to sit around and watch those wonderful Peanuts specials. It’s a popular activity around here when it starts getting cold.
Like always, it’s three rounds of ten questions each. I ask, you guess, and we see how you did.
I’ve also got another reminder that the Dorky Geeky Nerdy shop is open and ready to send you some cool podcast swag. Visit the show’s website, DorkyGeekyNerdy.com/shop and we’ll get you hooked up.
