🎙️ Get Dispensed: The Pez Podcast Episode 36 – From Orcutt with Love: Pez Collecting with Anna Santos Salinas
G’day Pez Posse! In this sweet new episode, we're heading to the sunny Central Coast of California to meet Anna Santos Salinas — a vibrant collector, global Pez helper, and proud resident of the quirky little town of Orcutt.
Anna’s love for Pez runs deep, and so does her passion for connecting with collectors from all over the world. From her most prized dispensers to the five she’d save in a Pez emergency, we unwrap it all! She shares unforgettable stories from conventions past (Pacific Coast and Vegas, anyone?), and even dishes on her dream Pez set if she ran the design department (licensing be damned!).
Plus, Anna reveals how she tracks her growing collection, the surprises she’s stumbled upon during her hunts, and the one dispenser still on her bucket list. Whether you’re a seasoned Pezhead or just starting your collection, Anna’s journey is equal parts inspiring, hilarious, and full of heart.
So pop in your favourite candy brick, and join Greg — your Down Under Pez Hunter — as we dive into another colourful chapter of the Pez world.
