Great memories + great new content

Stumbled onto the Peanuts, Popcorn & Crackerjacks podcast and quickly listened to 3 episodes, and 2 more the next day. Not only is the content great (not only the interviews with former Cubs but also others with ties to Chicago and their Cubs memories) but the pacing and different segments work well. Definitely glad I found the show; looking forward to the rest of the existing episodes and then new ones to follow.
