While I’m taking a break from this podcast I’m working on another one called Unpacking Peanuts, where 3 cartoonists take an in-depth look at the greatest comic strip of all time-- Peanuts by Charles M. Schulz.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This is a labor of love from three smart, funny, comic artists, one of whom is my husband Michael. Regular listeners might remember my episode titled I Always Wanted to Create A Graphic Novel with Michael and Jimmy Gownley. The third member of the triumvirate is Harold Buchholz. They’ve all been friends for decades and all are lifelong fans of Schulz and Peanuts. Three years ago or so they had the idea to do a podcast looking at every year of the strip and discuss the development, the influences, and the genius of Schulz from a cartoonist’s point of view.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">They got through the first 5 years of strips but the project stalled. It’s harder than you think to get a podcast out into the world. That’s where I came in. I volunteered to edit the existing recordings. Unfortunately all but the first one was lost. But I could tell, despite the poor recording quality, that this was worth listening to and re-creating. So that’s what we’re doing.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As I’m sure you’ve heard me say time and time again, I love listening to smart people talk about what they are passionate about. I think Unpacking Peanuts is a brilliant concept and I’m thrilled to be part of the team. Here’s the first episode - 1950 Part One - Good Ol’ Charlie Brown.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Full transcript available at http://unpackingpeanuts.com</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">********************</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Theme song written by Michael Cohen</span> <a href="http://michaelcohenmusic.com/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://michaelcohenmusic.com</span></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">and performed by Complicated People</span> <a href="https://complicatedpeople.com/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://complicatedpeople.com</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Additional music by</span> <a href="http://michaelcohenmusic.com"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Michael Cohen</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">*********************</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Please fill out a</span> <strong>5-question survey</strong> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">at</span> <a href= "https://www.lizsumner.com/survey/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">lizsumner.com/survey</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">.

I have plans to make additional “best of” compilations like the Learn To Sing and Travel episodes I released at the end of last year. I’m also going to share some other projects I’ve been working on that I think you’ll enjoy. I will stay in touch now and then but not on a regular schedule.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I had no idea when I started how much I would come to love podcasting. I love listening to people talk about their passion. I love learning about this relatively new and exciting field. I love all the techy bits of recording and editing. And I’m deeply touched by all the compliments I receive on my interview skills.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Thank you all for joining me on this adventure. If you’re new to I Always Wanted To I hope you’ll check out the back catalog. </span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Until we meet again, in the words of Martin Mull, "Let’s not say au revoir.

<p><img style="float: left; margin: 8px;" src= "https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/show/121492/Allison_300.png" alt= "" width="257" height="257" /></p> <p>Allison’s interest in becoming a performing artist began when she joined FSU’s Flying High Circus in 2004 where she was able utilize her background in gymnastics training as well as other athletic sports. In 2007, she embarked on a professional career in the circus arts when she joined a 7-person flying trapeze act. Shortly after joining the troupe, Allison trained with the internationally recognized flying trapeze artist, Ivan Espana, and together developed a dynamic solo swinging trapeze act which utilizes the timing of the swing to accomplish several powerful release maneuvers creating an unbelievable and thrilling routine. Persistent in pursuing her passion, Allison continued to train several other aerial disciplines and is an accomplished aerialist on The Cyclone Cycle, Aerial Silks, Motorcycle on a High Wire and The Bungee Trapeze. Her performances have taken her across the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico and Australia.</p> <p> </p> <p>Allison has expanded her interests into not just performing but Producing. In 2014, Allison and her husband, Ivan Espana, co-founded Salto Entertainment, LLC. Together, Ivan and Allison produced several live shows including MOTO MANIACS®, MOTO PSYCHO CIRCUS®, FLIPPIN’ and The Great Mr. Swindle’s Traveling Peculairium and Drink-Ory Garden®.</p> <p> </p> <p>Ivan and Allison are trailblazers of the live entertainment industry and believers in the importance of excitement, laughter and kindness which they aspire to spread through their innovative and original live productions.</p> <p>Here are some links of an act and shows.</p> <ul> <li style="list-style-type: none;"> <ul> <li>Video of my single trapeze act – <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKuS5AaOTGM">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKuS5AaOTGM</a></li> <li>Video - Mr. Swindle’s Traveling Peculiarium - <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4jTZoBSbEE">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4jTZoBSbEE</a></li> <li>Video – FLIPPIN - <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIqywVZZZpU&t=15s">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIqywVZZZpU&t=15s</a></li> <li>Video – Moto Maniacs - <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dpJpboIlCA">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dpJpboIlCA</a></li> <li>Facebook Pages – Mr. Swindle’s Traveling Peculiarium-<a href= "https://www.facebook.com/Mr.SwindlesTravelingPeculiarium">https://www.facebook.com/Mr.SwindlesTravelingPeculiarium</a></li> <li>Facebook Page – Salto Entertainment - <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/saltoentertainment">https://www.facebook.com/saltoentertainment</a></li> <li>Facebook – Moto Maniacs - <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/Motomaniacstheshow">https://www.facebook.com/Motomaniacstheshow</a></li> <li>Facebook – FLIPPIN - <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/theflippinshow">https://www.facebook.com/theflippinshow</a></li> <li>Company websites– Salto Entertainment, LLC - <a href= "http://saltoent.com/">http://saltoent.com</a> <ul> <li style="list-style-type: none;"> <ul> <li>The Great Mr. Swindle’s Traveling Peculiarium® - <a href= "https://www.mrswindles.com/">https://www.mrswindles.com</a>Facebook -</li> <li>FLIPPIN - <a href= "https://theflippinshow.com/">https://theflippinshow.com</a></li> <li>MOTO Maniacs® - <a href= "https://moto-maniacs.com/">https://moto-maniacs.com</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> <p>Specialty Tent Rentals - <a href= "https://www.specialtytents.com/">https://www.specialtytents.com</a></p> <p><strong>REMARKS</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s hard to think about circus without memories of childhood . My mind goes to the Russian circus I saw when I was about 8 years old and watching Cecile B. DeMille’s The Greatest Show on Earth on TV. </span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I’ve seen a couple of Cirque du Soleil performances and love the direction that circus has taken since I was a child. I watch from afar and I’m amazed by the magical world being presented to me.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Possibly my favorite part of doing this podcast is meeting people who live in a world I know nothing about and hearing how they got there and what inspires them. Allison makes her living flying through the air and dreaming up productions with intriguing titles like The Great Mr Swindle’s Traveling Peculiarium. Her husband and son ride a motorcycle up a tightrope toward her. Who wouldn’t want to know more about that?</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here’s the interview.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Full transcript available at http://ialwayswantedto.net</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">********************</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Theme song written by Michael Cohen</span> <a href="http://michaelcohenmusic.com/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://michaelcohenmusic.com</span></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">and performed by Complicated People</span> <a href="https://complicatedpeople.com/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://complicatedpeople.com</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Additional music by</span> <a href="http://michaelcohenmusic.com"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Michael Cohen</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">*********************</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Please fill out a</span> <strong>5-question survey</strong> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">at</span> <a href= "https://www.lizsumner.com/survey/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">lizsumner.com/survey</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">.
