Hello Jeannie. First off, thanks for doing this AMA! This is extremely enriching and something that I didn't even realize I wanted to happen until I started reading the post and your responses!

I don't really have a question, but I do just want to send a huge thank you from the bottom of my heart to both you and your husband. My father (age 52) grew up on the Peanuts. He's a junkie really. He owns so many collectibles and nice editions of the old strips collected in pristine fashion. When your husband passed away back in 2000, I had never seen my dad so affected by anything since when both of his parents passed away. It was actually like a piece of him was missing.

Last year we took him to a beautiful exhibit at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. Everything brought back so many memories for me growing up with my dad and watching all the specials (my personal favorite is Snoopy's Reunion!). As we entered the exhibit and we saw a large portrait of the final strip your husband wrote I broke down crying. I never really understood how much of Charlie Brown and Snoopy were ingrained as part of my childhood until that moment, and how much my dad influenced me growing up. The Peanuts have such a special and lasting place in both my dad's heart as well as my own.

So, truly, from the bottom of my heart, thanks to Charles for all his wonderful work and thank you for keeping the legacy strong. Cheers!

How much input do the producers/directors have on what of your music is used? Do you write a lot of material and they pick from it or do you write very intentionally for very specific beats and scenes?

How difficult did you find it writing/supporting the decisions that Walter White made as each season moved forward. Surely it's fun and exciting to break new ground, but I feel as though you all must have an even closer relationship with/dedication to the character than viewers. What is it like crafting such an intricate descent into villainy?

What are your top 3 soundtracks that inspire you?
