Hey everyone! Two things today: 1. I'm bored 2. I can't get the song "Turn Your Buttons Down" (Toenail, won't fail) out of my head. So here's the deal. Why not put a few of our heads together and come up with the history of the Poobahs? A sort of folklore experiment, if you will. The...

It's Here! I just pushed the button, and it's now online. I hope this serves as a fitting tribute to Richard. I think there are things there in the show that he would have really liked (if anyone can tell what the classical background music is, I'll give you a cookie). Then again, he would...

Hey everyone, don't be surprised if the MuppetCast.com website goes away for a day or two. I PROMISE it'll be back in short order. We're initiating the process of migrating everything over right now. Wish me luck!

It's Beatles week on The MuppetCast! Not much more you can say to that. It's just a rockin' show! Also, make sure you listen to the most recent Henson.com Official Podcast. Not only does the host, a man with a certain affinity toward toasters, give us the list of the recently announced...

Does anyone know where I can find a copy of Farscape Season 1? Amazon doesn't have it (some Amazon resellers seem to have it, but I'm simply not paying $250), and Netflix doesn't have it either. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Can you believe it's been 25 years since Fraggle Rock's first episode aired on HBO? Well it has, and January 10 marks the anniversary date, so we're celebrating here on The MuppetCast! The show includes a nice Fraggle retrospective, and another exclusive interview, this time with Fraggle Rock...

It's the last episode of The MuppetCast for 2007! We celebrate the new year by looking forward at some of the new projects coming to us in the new year, and by revisiting some of the best interviews we've had on the show thus far. Happy Birthday to Caroll Spinney! 74 years old, can you...

A friend just sent me the link to this one. Has anyone else seen this shirt? I must have it! It's on The Onion's website.

It's finally here! The Muppet Christmas Carol edition of The MuppetCast, that is. Christmas is still a day or two off. But I hope this episode of the podcast can keep you company in the meantime. Much like the earlier Muppet Christmas specials, we attempt to explore every dimension we can...

This week it's all about "It's A Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie". Saddle up and let's have some fun! Did you know the Muppet recently received a Grammy nomination for "A Green and Red Christmas"? Make sure you have this album for the holiday season this year. Find it at Amazon here...

Really good stuff again this week! This time we're looking and listening to pieces of "A Muppet Family Christmas" and "John Denver & the Muppets: A Christmas Together." We also hear from returning friend of the show, writer Jim Lewis. He's great as always, and I think he's probably a lot...

Yep. Not kidding about that. Muppeteer Dave Goelz appears on The MuppetCast this week, in person, in an exclusive interview. We talk about Emmet Otter's Jugband Christmas, as well as his amazing career. We take a good look at Emmet Otter this week. There are actually two special guests in...

...what would it be? Let's say you get the opportunity to meet him and have him autograph ONE thing. I know it's sort of a daunting question, and about a hundred things all came into your brain at once when pondering this, but really, what would it be?

Make sure you get both parts of this week's show. There is the audio portion, which is show #33, and then make sure you watch VidCast #2! I had fun putting this show together, both in doing the audio portion and in watching and formatting David Quesal's video for the vidcast. I think the...

I'm so happy that MagicMeets.com has the Muppets covered for MouseFest! Make sure to attend Muppet Meets, held on December 7 at 4pm. We take a look at the Muppets as they've appeared in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade in past years, as well as what to look for this year. I also give a...

I was thrilled to receive in the mail this week several episodes from Fraggle Rock as it appeared in the UK! A listener, Jon Melville from Scotland, sent these to me, and watching them is like seeing an entirely new layer to the episodes we already know and love. The Fraggle segments are the...

My special guest this week is Pasha Romanowski, owner of ProjectPuppet.com. Project Puppet is an online resource for anyone wanting to try their hand at puppet making. Pasha's website appeals to both absolute beginners and seasoned professionals. Go on, go make a puppet! Lots of new photos...

Hey, This is one for the "sorta creepy" file folder. I was just now attempting to set up a MuppetCast online store at CafePress.com. CafePress, as you may know, is a website designed to allow poor schlubs like me with no art or merch skills with opportunities to make available things like...

This is one of the nice things about producing the MuppetCast. I can have a Halloween show and not feel obliged to play the Haunted Mansion theme music! Besides I played that last week. No, this episode is driven mainly by 2 things; user email and some GREAT scary Muppet clips! Lotta...

Hey all, This time around, we listen to sculptor Bill Mancuso talk about creating some of our favorite Palisades Muppet figures. Along with Palisades, Bill has also worked with some other toy companies with which you may be familiar, including McFarlane Toys. I have to say, I'm really...
