Sam and Friends Book Read our review of the long-awaited book, "Sam and Friends - The Story of Jim Henson's First Television Show" by Muppet Historian Craig Shemin.
For a first episode of the second year on the web, this episode isn't too shabby! Not only is there a review of the Sesame Street classic, Follow That Bird, but we have an interview with Fran Brill!
Lots of news (thanks to Greg at the Muppet News Flash), listener feedback, Muppet history...
Hi guys,
A thought just occurred to me the other day, after recording the show. The more I think about it, the more it sounds plausible. It concerns the new Muppet movie deal.
First, think back to last fall. Remember back before the writers' strike, when there was rumored to be a "cool...
It's the one year anniversary of The MuppetCast! Thanks for helping me make it happen. Sorry it took a little longer to post over here; the new computer didn't have the FTP information on it for my web account and I had to have a new password created (techie web stuff, don't worry about it...
Last chance to call the voice line and have your "happy birthday" voicemail played on The MuppetCast's ONE YEAR birthday show! The voicemail line is 614-364-4270.
And yes, you ARE the only one who doesn't like listening to your own voice in a recording; everyone else wants to know what you...
Hi everyone. I've got good news and bad news. The bad news is, my normal recording computer was on the fritz this weekend, suffering from severe memory problems (so severe that it couldn't remember how to work), so I had to pull out the old tower computer that I used to record on just to get...
Hey all,
I'll be talking with Fran Brill in a week or so for the podcast, and I wanted to extend the invitation to everyone to list some questions you'd like me to ask her. So if you think of anything, post it here, and I'll try to fit your question(s) into the interview! Thanks!
It's the Easter show! Kind of. Well, I mention Easter in the show.
Sorry it's late! Going home and doing the family Easter thing tends to take up a lot of time. Even more so when you have TWO families (mine and my wife's) to go to.
This week I finally take some time and talk about my...
Hi-ho everyone, and welcome again to The MuppetCast! This week we find some great little nuggets of joy in Muppet History, we find a great reason to celebrate in Muppet News, and there's even other stuff too!
I JUST realized that there were two songs I should have played in the podcast that...
Hey everyone! Well, I'm back from my trip to Walt Disney World, and I came back reinvigorated and ready to do some more great shows. I think I can say we hit the ground running this week. My guest, as you may have read earlier, is Kevin Clash. And yes, he was awesome!
There's lots to talk...
I feel bad that I didn't post something about last week's show, so to make up for it, here's a sneak peek at what this Sunday's show will feature:
Kevin Clash!
Why we don't have an Elmo smile here is beyond me, but I just did about a 20-minute interview with him, and he was awesome! I...
Okay, seriously, I can't be the only one who's been keeping all the expired pages from the Muppet Day-by-Day Calendar! Anybody else this crazy?
(Yes, I'm aware that I asked that question here.)
Hola everyone! Earlier than usual, here is Episode 46. I'm really happy to bring on Ryan and Joe from ToughPigs.com this week. We talk about...well, everything really. There's no point in listing it all out there, but you'll absolutely love it!
There's also a TON of links to go along with...
Online now is the recording of the live telecast of the 4th Annual Muppet Central Forum Awards Ceremony. The ceremony, and The MuppetCast, are brought to you courtesy of Bell, Book and Comic. Life should be more fun!
I'm humbled and amazed at the enthusiasm, heart, tenacity, and talent of the...
Just a reminder, the MuppetCast is currently holding a contest, and the prize is the Palisades Jonny Fiama figure from series 7. This is the burgundy-suited Johnny, complete with microphone, barstool, prop album, and a picture of his mother. It's a trivia-based contest, and here's how you...
Here's what I don't like about most "Listener Feedback" shows that you hear on some podcasts. Many times, the situation winds up being that the host, while very good at hosting said podcast, resorts to reading bunches and bunches of text, with little more included in the show.
Now, here's...
Who do you want to hear next
Hey guys! I'm presenting you with a choice here. Who do you want to hear from FIRST? All 3 of these people have been on The MuppetCast recently, in fact all of them were on the recent Richart Hunt episode. And all 3 of these people are going to be on The...
Hey all! A thought just occurred to me, and forgive me if this question has been asked and answered in the past. But it occurred to me that just about every Muppet song in existence has a page devoted to it on the Muppet Wiki (MW). It might be a short page that simply directs you to the...
Hiya Hiya Hiya! You're a wonderful-lookin' audience, it's a pleasure to be here! Sorry for the late post on MC concerning this episode, but better late than never!
This week I'm proud to have my friend Paul Barrie on the show to talk about a great podcast, and one that inspired me to start...
Hi ho! This week brings some rare audio, found right here on Muppet Central! Along with listener feedback (and much more of it to come), Muppet news, This Week In (Muppet) History, and even a contest winner, we get to hear the Muppets on the Dick Cavett Show. The audio is taken from November...
Hey all, I'm trying to put an intro for the show together this week, and I need everyone's help. I need everyone to call The MuppetCast's voicemail number and say something along the lines of "Hey, this is [your name here], and you're listening to The MuppetCast!". I'm going to intersperse...
