Afoot

8: And We Would Have Recorded Away with It, Too

Listen Later

What’s more appropriate for Halloween than Scooby-Doo? Join Afoot as we recount the nearly 50-year history of the show, talk about our favorite and least-favorite eras, praise voice actors, and dissect the problem with the show switching from old men in rubber masks to real ghosts, zombies, and monsters.

Scooby-Doo

Glenn Fleishman with David J. Loehr and Shannon Sudderth
