Customer Reviews
Awesome
Great show, great memories!
Peanuts, popcorn & crackerjacks
Sadly the season has ended & I have thoroughly enjoyed all episodes… not only learning more about the Santo family as well as the whole organization of cubs & players & game of baseball. …plus entertainment part to it is also very exciting… looking forward to the next set of episodes… ❤️ ⚾️🎬🎶🎤
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.
