De Fleeem is Oooky Doooky! It certainly is; this week we celebrate The Muppet Movie! Joining me on the show is Muppet writer and historian Craig Shemin. Along with various bits and pieces of the movie, Craig's commentary and insights make this an episode you won't want to miss. The news...

Muppetfan44 had a good question that came up on last week's MuppetCast: what was the first thing that Disney and the Muppets worked on together? She also found and sent me some really great video of a 1989 Euro-Disney special starring Piggy, Mickey, Minnie, and a Prince that does a quick...

Special thanks to Cory Edwards, director of the new Fraggle Rock film, for leaving the voicemail that kicks off this week's episode! It's time to take a listen to some old, rare Muppet audio. The clips in this week's feature are taken from 1976 and 1977, I think. I know the audio came from...

This story appeared yesterday in the Delta Democrat Times, and again today in a couple more news sources. Jim Henson's boyhood friend (and arguably the namesake for the famous frog) Kermit Scott passed away. Here are a couple articles for consumption...

I'm feeling nitpicky this morning. What's wrong with this article, lol? http://kgmb9.com/main/content/view/7294/103/

Father's Day on The MuppetCast promises to be a good time! There's some great Muppet dad-related audio, along with thoughts on fatherhood from several friends of the show. The website, muppetcast.com, is now reliably up and on the web again! Thank goodness, that was a lot of hassle, believe...

Specifically, I need some input from the Fathers in the audience, the Dads if you will! I'm looking for voicemails from guys giving their take on fatherhood. Me, I've got two cats and a dog, and that's about it. So if any of you dads would like to call or write in (me@muppetcast.com), I'd...

Hey all, MuppetCast.com is currently down, but don't worry. I'm just changing web hosts, and getting the "muppetcast.com" name pointed at a new server takes 24 to 48 hours, I'm told. Don't panic, the show isn't going away :)

A hefty, hearty welcome to episode #61 of The MuppetCast! This week we continue our series focusing on the Jim Henson Hour with episode 3: Monster Telethon! So last week I had a little bit of fun with the MuppetCast voicemail line. I forwarded all incoming calls to a live phone, giving...

Can you believe it, we've arrived at episode #60! This time around I have a great conversation with John Rick (host of the Disney PinCast) about some of the really cool, and in some cases really rare, Muppet collector pins produced by the Disney company. Can you believe that Disney still...

Hi all, As you may have heard recently on the podcasts, one of our listeners is a Sergent in the US Army and is stationed in South Korea. He has expressed to me that some of the other soldiers in his unit are Muppet and Disney fans, and I thought perhaps we can help them out. I'd like to...

This week we observe Memorial Day on the show, mostly by discussing Sesame Workshop's recent building onto their outreach program Talk, Listen, Connect. Along with hearing parts of the freely available resource videos hosted at sesameworkshop.org, we talk with Dr. Jeanette Betancourt, head of...

...Dr. Jeanette Betancourt, Vice President of Outreach and Educational Practices for Sesame Workshop! We'll be talking about SW's Talk, Listen, Connect program, and its recent addition of Deployments, Homecomings, Changes. I just talked with her, and it's a very interesting conversation. :p :(

I'm extremely proud to present The MuppetCast's 2008 tribute to Jim Henson. This year's tribute show, I think, has a distinctly different feel from last year's, but I hope you will find it equally fitting :) I just wanted to again thank everyone who helped by sending in material for this...

It's Mother's Day on The MuppetCast! And here to help celebrate this special day is none other than Jane Hunt, certainly the most well-known Muppet mom to listeners of the podcast. Jane was a delight to have on again this week, and we share some touching moments as we talk about motherhood...

Hey all, I typically don't do this, but I wanted everyone to know that The MuppetCast will be presenting another special tribute to Jim this year. It will not be a repeat of last year's show; there will be a somewhat different feel to it. Helping me remember Jim and discuss his life, his...

Hi all, Over the past year, The MuppetCast has found a warm and happy home here on the forums. I honestly don't think the show would be as successful, and have such a fan following, without the support of the people at Muppet Central. As I look over all the posts and conversations we've...

Hi everyone! This week marks the beginning of a new series on The MuppetCast, where we'll make a continuing effort to present audio and information from the Jim Henson Hour. In this show, we look and listen to the first two episodes. Next week is also going to be very exciting on The...

It's Bunny Week on The MuppetCast! What that means is that this episode will feature both The Tale of the Bunny Picnic and a visit from our friends James & Joe (live in the studio), who perform their act entitled Bunnies in Peril. Oh yeah, AND they do some pretty cool stuff while working at...

I really couldn't think of a catchy title for this week's show. Maybe someone here can help with that, after hearing the new episode! The "Make Something Cool" contest is still ongoing. Let me know if you're planning to create something for this contest by going over to MuppetCast.com this...
