Oh, good ones! Let me know if you think of more!

You mean Minnesota Mel? Sure, he might make his way in this year! As for M_M's pin ideas, I think I've got those somewhere too...

Hmmm, that's a really good idea. I enjoyed that 50 states montage too. Maybe that should be featured in this upcoming show, since this weekend is July 4th. I might just do that, and move Abby in Wonderland to the following weekend, while I'm on the road.

I had a lot of fun putting this episode together! I always like coming back and looking at the Jim Henson Hour episodes, and this one had some great moments. Granted, I skipped over a few parts of it, but only because it wasn't possible to translate what was going on visually into an audio...

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...

Hi everyone! Sorry for the late post; a nice relaxing holiday weekend will do that to ya. This week my guest is Matt Blum from Wired.com's GeekDad blog and podcast. The GeekDad crew are all big Muppet fans (as you'll gather from scouring the various Muppet-themed posts), and Matt and I had...

Wow MrCole, what fantastic craftsmanship! You have an impressive gift. If you're ever interested in doing some more "commissioned" work, drop me a line.

You know what would be a great Henson call-out? To see the Country Trio pop up in the Muppet Show Comic Book. I know the four Muppet Show books have already been, for lack of a better word, carved in stone, but it would be great for Country Henson to show up in ANY of the coming Muppet comics.

Now before you go thinking I didn't do a "tribute" to Jim this year, listen to the first 30 minutes of the episode. It's completely devoted to listener email and full of listener Muppet musings. I don't think I could have asked for better responses. I defy you not to well up when listening to...

Yeah I know, I've been lax in posting. Sorry, works gets busy and as you know, frog's gotta eat. :) We recorded the Disney Feud the other night. I'll just say that I plan to return to WDW thirsty. And yes, 750....I finally got there!

Hi everyone! This week's show features a revisited interview I did last year with Richard Hunt's mother, Jane Hunt. This was a great interview talking not just about Jane's take on motherhood, but also has some great "Richard stories" that you might have missed if you haven't heard the...

I also loved the sketch using Miss Piggy as Dorothy, but I can see why they avoided it for the movie. One of the hallmarks of Muppet TV and film is the interaction with live actors, and they needed a real person to anchor the surrounding characters.

I'm on the hunt for an obscure song called "A World Without Music". It's from the 1979 Sesame album "The Stars Come Out on Sesame Street". Anybody have it? I'd really appreciate it! You can email it to me@muppetcast.com.

Great feedback on this week's show guys, thanks! As for the Bert & Ernie song in the montage, it was called "Fear (When I was Little)", and was featured on the 1977 Sesame Street album "Let Your Feelings Show".

Hi-ho! This week I've invited another one of those podcaster types on the show. You know how sketchy they can be. :shifty: Hehe...his name is Shane Roberts and he hosts one of the more unique Disney podcasts out there, called Communicore Online. I really like Shane's work because a) it's short...

Hi everyone, Just a pre-show thank you to everyone on Muppet Central for your incredible support of the podcast these past two years. If you weren't aware, this weekend marks the 2nd anniversary of the only podcast on the web dedicated to the work of Jim Henson and the Muppets. It has been an...

Never mind, I found it. I knew I had it somewhere!

Hey guys, I need the soundtrack (not the original score) to Muppets From Space, if anybody would be so kind :) Thanks much!

Hi guys, I'm trying to get a list of some of Pepe's finest moments. Can you help me come up with great lines/scenes/songs, etc.? One personal favorite is from the beginning of Muppets From Space, where the breakfast menu has slightly changed. "We will now be serving bologna...

Hi all! I'm looking for the complete audio from the Jim Henson Hour special " Song of the Cloud Forest". I have the episode on DVD, but the audio I have needs a lot of work to make it presentable. I'd much prefer to present a copy that's clear(er) and give someone the credit for sending it to...
