Sean Mendelson Shares the Legacy of “Peanuts” and a Message of Global Harmony on “Good News Broadcast” with Reverend Paul Sladkus

(New York, NY – November 2025) — The spirit of timeless storytelling and global unity came together when Sean Mendelson, musician, voice actor, and son of the legendary Peanuts producer Lee Mendelson, appeared on “Good News Broadcast” with Reverend Paul Sladkus, founder of Good News Corporation and creator of International Peace Day in Times Square. The inspiring conversation celebrated 75 years of Charles M. Schulz’s “Peanuts”, a comic strip that has shaped generations with its humor, heart, and emotional intelligence — and explored how art, music, and media can inspire positive change in the world today.

During the segment, Sean reflected on the enduring power of Peanuts, a cultural touchstone produced by his father, Lee Mendelson, who brought the beloved characters to television alongside composer Vince Guaraldi, whose jazz compositions defined the sound of childhood for millions. Sean, who as a child voiced several Peanuts characters in the original series, continues to carry the torch alongside his brother Jason Mendelson, overseeing Lee Mendelson Film Productions and reissuing rare soundtracks that preserve the franchise’s emotional and historical legacy.

Reverend Paul Sladkus — a pioneer of uplifting media — founded Good News Corporation and has dedicated over 25 years to promoting kindness, peace, and environmental responsibility through his annual International Peace Day Celebration in Times Square every September 21. This world-recognized event gathers artists, humanitarians, and activists to advocate for unity, love, and global understanding.

In a fitting extension of that mission, after the interview Reverend Sladkus and Sean Mendelson discussed their upcoming participation in Earth Day Times Square on April 22, an event dedicated to raising awareness about climate change, sustainability, and the importance of protecting the planet. Sean and Jason Mendelson have been invited to join the festivities, representing the Peanuts legacy — which has long championed empathy, environmental appreciation, and the simple beauty of human connection.

As the Peanuts franchise celebrates its 75th anniversary, the Mendelson family continues to share its enduring message: that laughter, love, and compassion can make the world a better place. Through programs like Good News Broadcast, International Peace Day, and Earth Day Times Square, both Sean Mendelson and Reverend Paul Sladkus carry forward the legacy of storytelling and service that uplifts humanity.

About Good News Corporation:

Founded by Reverend Paul Sladkus, Good News Corporation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting positive stories that inspire global unity and environmental consciousness. For over two decades, it has produced International Peace Day Times Square, celebrating harmony and collaboration through art, music, and dialogue.

About Sean Mendelson:

Sean Mendelson is a musician, voice actor, and producer continuing the legacy of his father, Peanuts executive producer Lee Mendelson. Through Lee Mendelson Film Productions, Sean and his brother Jason work to preserve and expand the musical and cultural heritage of Peanuts — one of the most cherished and emotionally resonant creations in American history.

Amplifying diverse voices isn’t just the right thing to do — companies with diverse teams are more likely to boost profitability and innovation. By empowering underrepresented groups, we’re breaking down digital barriers, improving accessibility, and building an industry that works for everyone.

Dear Friends and Members,

We are all one, mostly ALL living on Mother Earth in harmony, peace, love and pray in good health. Good News focuses on Upbeat, not Beat-up life and shares the Good in our wonderful world. Let’s focus, ALL TOGETHER on this reality, PRAY TOGETHER that those few who don’t live peacefully and nonviolently will see the light of LOVE and UNITE.

Here are two Good News Posts that reflect the Asian American Pacific Islanders Heritage Month. Our first is with two wonderful Chinese Children who sing, You Raise Me Up, in English, who for me made me cry from this talent and emotion.  Our Next Generations…(click on the words below the picture)

You Raise Me Up

Our other story is Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine recognizing Asian American Pacific Islanders Heritage Month Celebrating Changemakers in the community.

Borough President of Manhattan

Mark Levine and other representatives

“Celebrating Changemakers,”

an Asian American

Pacific Islander Month Event

I am honored to add some Multicultural Background on our company, Milestone Broadcast Corporation, MBC. We were encouraged to start back in 1985, by the largest Chinese Media Company in America, the World Journal, to create a multicultural marketing, media rep and advertising company. I agreed, as my dream was to create Positive TV Programs for the World and by working with the multicultural communities I would have helped them and maybe they would put my TV shows into their country.  MBC initially started to represent all the Asian Media in America, as well as the European, which was my ancestry, and then later on the African, Hispanic/Latino and Middle Eastern America communicates. America the home of ALL, or as termed by Times Square, the Crossroads of the World.  

I learned through that media representation experience by working with the multicultural communities how similar we are, we all laugh, cry, hurt, care and much more… we are brothers and sisters HOMO-SAPIENS, YAY. FORWARD MOTION. ONE WORLD.

Good News Corporation, our nonprofit now focuses our efforts, and we need YOU and everyone you know to:

PAUSE THE WORLD FOR PEACE AT NOON ON SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 21, 2024. WE HOPE TO HAVE 8 BILLION PEOPLE JOIN IN, ALL THE ANIMALS AND PLANTS WOULDN’T HURT. WE ARE ONE. 

193 UN COUNTRIES ALREAD AGREED. PEACE MESSENGER RINGO STARR WILL VIRTUALLY REQUEST IT FROM TIMES SQUARE AT NOON AND THEN WE WILL HAVE A MAJOR PEACE DAY PARTY WORLDWIDE BROADCAST FOCUSING ON THE GOOD HAPPENING IN THE WORLD FOR PEACE AND MOTHER EARTH. 

22 YEARS GOOD NEWS CORPORATION (and 75 years on June 9^th for Paul) HAS BEEN FOCUSED & DEDICATED TO PEACE, DIGNITY AND EQUALITY ON A HEALTHY PLANET WITH OUR EVENTS…WE CONTINUE TO STRIVE FOR TOTAL LOVE, AND MORE LOVE, AS THAT IS THE ANSWER.
