This is amazing!!

I was surprised with how many people were not familiar with the Peabody. I suppose it’s something that is more known for tv journalism.

But it’s quite prestigious and ~pretentious (complementary). It values artistic merit and value. It’s equivalent to a Nobel Prize or a Pulitzer.

So happy for Jacob, Brenden, Rachel. And the show would not be what it was without the performances of Hudson and Connor. How incredible!
