I enjoyed the last episode, which was a Jerry Juhl tribute episode (and Jim Henson birthday celebration... but more of a Jerry Juhl tribute). Although it was only 34 minutes long, it felt like it was the lenght of an average episode.

Thanks! I spent a lot of time listening and re-listening to the episode before I posted it, and while you're right, it is a bit shorter than usual, I think everything was well-paced in the episode. Thanks again for the feedback!

If you liked show #24, you're gonna LOVE show #25 this week!

Yeah... Have to agree. It was a really fitting tribute. Although, I do feel it was more on the Jerry Juhl side of things, but there were some good nods to Jim too. Especially loved "Turn The World Around", noticed you used the version from the memorial, it made me tear up a little the first time I heard it. Also liked you used "Music Makes Me Real" as that's the one song where each minstrel gets to shine. And the weaving at the end came across nicely.

Look forward to the next show.
Yaeeeey!

Actually, Count, it's from "The Essential Harry Belafonte". I have NO idea where it came from...(BTW, it was my submission...)

Hi... Um Steve, I think there might be a little problem with the new episode, #25. Went to the Muppetcast home page, found that Episode 25 had been posted. There's the usual short blurbs talking about what the episode will cover, an "Icon" link to hear the episode, and the number and time-length of the episode. Well, when I click on the "Icon Graphic" link to download and instantly start listening (as I usually do) instead of Ep. 25, I get Ep. 23. Is this because Episode 25 hasn't been truly posted for listening pleasure yet?

Please LMK if there's something I'm doing wrong, hope this helps.

Hey all,

If you tried to listen to show #25 and got show #23, that was my bad. I had a mis-fire early this morning while posting. It should be fixed now, and it's on MuppetCast.com. OR, if you want to, delete and then re-subscribe to the MuppetCast. That's the only way I know of that'll pull in the REAL show #25. Sorry for the confusion!

OK... Have to listen to Show 26 again to get the second half...
But yes, I like the website's new layout, it handles much better with the screenreader, no more messing with language settings.
Another thing, in the poll, "Mnah-Mnah" is misspelled, it should be "Mahna-Mahna".
Hope this helps, will send you my thoughts after listening to the new episode in its entirety.
