Hi everyone! Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who played along with me in the Muppet Madness Tournament this year. It was a ton of fun for me, and I hope for you too. The tournament was my re-entrance into the podosphere, which means The MuppetCast is back! It may not be a 100% weekly...

Hi everybody! Just wanted to drop a note and say hi, and mention that, after almost 8 months away, I've come to my senses and resumed regular episodes of The MuppetCast. The newest show is available now in iTunes and at http://muppetcast.com. Obviously, the community at Muppet Central has...

Hi everybody! I'm curious about something, and since I don't know how to set up a poll on a forum post I'd like to instead post the question and get everybody's honest feedback. 1) Do you (or have you ever) listen on Wednesdays to The MuppetCast radio production on Sorcerer Radio? Do you...

The long-awaited interview with the one and only Steve Whitmire is now up and online! The latest episode, Show #147 of The MuppetCast, features Steve Whitmire in person talking about everything from the old days to Bohemian Rhapsody. He was a wonderful guest, and I hope we get to talk again...

Hey all, I know we've got a few web people here in the forum, and I was wondering if anyone has experience with Wordpress, or even WP Multi-User? I've used WP for years to run MuppetCast.com, but I wanted to check around. Ping me either on here or email me@muppetcast.com if you've got some...

This is it! The first person to reply in any way to this post wins the autographed copy of "Street Gang: The Complete History of Sesame Street". Game on!

That's right kids! I'll be recording an interview this evening with Michael Davis, author of the highly acclaimed book "Street Gang: The Complete History of Sesame Street". During the course of our interview I'll put up a new post right here in the On The Web section of the forums with the...

Very interesting that I chose to have the crew from The Amazing Comicast on the show this week. I had no idea that Disney was going to turn around within 24 hrs of production and announce their plans to purchase Marvel Comics for a reported $4 billion! Good timing on my part, I guess. But...

You can't go wrong with an episode about Roosevelt Franklin. Thanks BigBirdFan for helping me out with the music for this one! I think it really came together nicely. I also pulled a few clips from YouTube and one from the Sesame Street Old School DVDs. Along with some personal commentary...

Time for another MuppetCast, eh? This week I had fun getting up close and personal with Ben from The Balcony Puppeteers, a Canadian group who annually huddle into a balcony in Almonte, Ontario, and heckle any and all passers-by. Occasionally they'll perform at the Puppets Up festival, too...

The latest episode of The MuppetCast brings Roger Langridge back for a chat about his recent experiences at Comic Con! We also discuss what it's like to be the person responsible for carrying on the print version of the TV show we grew up with. He mentions the upcoming graphic novel version of...

Hi everyone! I meant to post something in here about last week's show and title it "The Wizard of Oz In About 3 Minutes". But things are picking up at work and I didn't get time. So we'll just make this post cover both shows 119 and 120. First, wasn't Leslie AWESOME last week! I knew she was...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...
