Retroist Smurfs Podcast

Welcome to the Retroist Smurfs Podcast! Today, we're diving into the world of The Smurfs, a pop culture favorite that's been around for 50 years.

First, I'll share a personal story about how The Smurfs helped me connect with a close friend. It’s amazing how these little blue characters bring people together.Then, we’ll take a look at the history of The Smurfs and their creator, Peyo, how they started, became a global hit, and why they’re still beloved today.

And for all the list lovers out there, Metagirl is back with her top 5 episodes from The Smurfs cartoon. If you’re a fan, or just curious, you won’t want to miss it!

I had a blast putting this episode together, and I hope you’ll enjoy this trip down Smurf memory lane. Let’s celebrate The Smurfs and all the fun they’ve brought us. Smurf’s up!
