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.

COLUMBIA FALLS, Maine — Sept. 28, 2021 — Wreaths Across America Radio is proud to announce the next episode in its series of roundtable discussions focused on veteran healing through sharing stories of resilience, purpose, and success. This discussion will take place on Thursday, October 13, 2022, at 12 PM ET, and can be heard exclusively on Wreaths Across America Radio.

The roundtable will focus on the recalibrated warrior, and how finding purpose can benefit not only in your own journey of resilience but help connect with others working to overcome similar challenges. Guest panelists – listed below – will be interviewed by Wreaths Across America’s Executive Director Karen Worcester and Director of Military and Veteran Outreach, Joe Regan, United States Army Veteran.

Guest Panelists Include:

Travis Mills, Founder and President of the Board for the Travis Mills Foundation. United States Army Staff Sergeant (ret.) Travis Mills of the 82nd Airborne is a recalibrated veteran, a motivational speaker, actor, author, and advocate for veterans and amputees. He is one of only five quadruple amputees from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to survive.

On April 10, 2021, Travis was critically injured by an improvised explosive device (IED) during a routine patrol in Afghanistan and spent 19 months at Walter Reed. After his recovery, Travis attended an adaptive sports camp in Colorado and realized the need for a such a place where a veteran, and their entire family could relax, reconnect, and find strength. Born out of this idea, the Travis Mills Foundation Veterans’ Retreat was founded.

Ginger Gilbert Ravella, Author, Military Wife, and Ambassador for the Gary Sinise Foundation. Ginger Gilbert Ravella is a military wife, Gold Star (widow), mother of five and stepmother of two. Her personal mission is to encourage anyone who seeks reconciliation and peace when life hurts the most and to continue to serve a nation by serving others.

Ginger works tirelessly to support and raise funds to help fallen and disabled veterans and their families. She is an international speaker and author devoted to her God, her family, and her country. She is remarried to another widower and USAF fighter pilot, Colonel (Ret) Jim Ravella, who lost his wife to breast cancer. Ginger currently resides in Nashville, Tenn., with her family.

The goal of the roundtable series is to help reduce barriers for veterans by:

· Supporting generational bonds between service veterans through stories of service and success;

· Destigmatizing issues faced by veterans and asking for help;

· Combating inaccurate perceptions of veterans by discussing the diverse experiences, challenges, and success of service members, veterans, and their families; and

· Connecting veterans with valuable resources.

“I know this is going to be a meaningful discussion,” said Karen Worcester, Executive Director, Wreaths Across America. “As everyone involved has a synergy of mission and a deep understanding of veterans’ needs and the needs of their families. We look forward to this opportunity to share these stories and the importance in addressing veterans’ healing.”

You can listen to Wreaths Across America Radio’s 24/7 internet stream anytime and anywhere on the iHeart Radio app, Audacy app, TuneIn app, or at www.wreathsacrossamerica.org/radio.

This is the seventh broadcast in this series, RoundTable discussions are broadcast on Wreaths Across America Radio at least once per quarter.
