Snoopy, known for being cartoony, famous for being doggy.

Nobody thinks much about him, so let's have some fun.

Let's find out why Snoopy is secretly incredibly fascinating. day.

Hey there, folks.

Welcome to a whole new podcast episode, a podcast all about why being alive is more interesting than people think it is.

My name is Alex Schmidt. And I'm not alone. I'm joined by one of my favorite guests and people. Katie Golden is a comedy writer, a podcaster.

The host of Creature Feature on IHeartRadio, the comedy writer behind at Pro Bird Rights on Twitter, and a writer for the Somemore News channel on YouTube.

She's also a great friend, she is a dog owner, and she's my favorite person to talk strip

newspaper comics with. Also, I've gathered all of our postal codes and used internet resources

And that feels worth doing on each episode.

Also, my guest today, Katie Golden, she taped this from the country of Italy.

And as I understand it, that that location has a context outside of this.

Today's episode is about a special topic, a patron chosen topic.

Thank you very much to patron Karen Bearnat for spearheading that suggestion, really making it happen in the polls.

Also a lot of support from Samuel Ross, from Mark Mosley. Others have also piped up and said,

I think people particularly know I like him because I tweet the same picture of him every month.

It's a drawing of Snoopy, wearing sunglasses, and playing the saxophone.
