This is a big one! My special guest for this episode is none other than Caroll Spinney, the performer of Sesame Street characters Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch. I was delighted to be able to talk with him, and although you can't fit a lifetime's worth of stories into a one-hour podcast, we covered a lot of ground and had a lot of fun.
One other note, if you're in or near the Atlanta area, this coming Saturday Heather Henson is presenting a sing-along version of Labyrinth! It's happening at the Center for Puppetry Arts. Only Center members are allowed to attend, but a membership is as cheap as $35 for MuppetCast listeners; just tell them you're a listener when you buy your membership. If you're interested call 404-881-5151. I don't know how much you can really sing along with Labyrinth - there are only a few songs - but Heather goes all out to prepare goody bags for attendees and it becomes a VERY audience-participatory experience watching the movie with her. Think Rocky Horror, if you've ever been to one of those screenings, but lots of fun for all ages.
That's all for this week! I don't know yet what the topic will be for the next show, but in two weeks I'll have to put out a "Best of" show, as I'll be on the road. Let me know if there's any past segment(s) you'd like to hear in particular on that episode!
Have a great week everyone!
