Muppet Guys (And Gals) Talking: The Muppet Family Interviews Thread

[antsamthompson9]

Joey Mazzarino did an interview on his wife's podcast. I really hope the folks at Puppet Tears can get him on their show, I'd like to know why he participated in the Caroll Spinney event in LA when he's not a part of Sesame anymore. I'd also like to know what he thinks of Sesame since he left: https://broadwaypodcastnetwork.com/...-with-aron-accurso-joey-mazzarino-alan-lewis/

Hey, awesome! I have been looking around for some interviews with Joey for a long time.

I listened to that awhile ago, mainly for Joey, but I figured he wasn't going to talk Sesame.

Found an old 2018 podcast where Frank speaks his mind on a lot of things, short but surprisingly informative. (Skip to 6:20 for Frank)

Frank Oz on Miss Piggy’s Secret Backstory and Jim Henson’s Legacy | The New Yorker Radio Hour | WNYC Studios

Frank Oz looks back on some of his most iconic roles, and Naomi Fry shares three Internet treasures.

Also a recent Indiewire (text) interview, done in preparation for live session yesterday, the title speaks for itself =)

Frank Oz Hasn’t Seen Baby Yoda, but Loved Netflix’s ‘Dark Crystal’ Prequel

I really like Bill and Stephanie discussing what it's like to take over a character.

I just keep watching The Barretta Brothers: Two of Us channel, referred by @antsamthompson9 above. Wow!

Check out their website www.thebarrettabrothers.com
and the rest of their YouTube channel:
They release new episode like every week or so,
next one is scheduled on Sat 7/11/2020, check the channel.

Best one so far, IMHO:

In this interview with Matt Vogel, we finally get to hear his journey to becoming Kermit, and that surprisingly, Brian Henson was at the auditions: https://content.blubrry.com/movinrightalong/FifteenSeconds008_MattVogel_mixdown.mp3

ToughPigs Talks MUPPETS NOW with Gonzo the Great.
This video, also dated 5 days ago, seems to beat the one with Pepe at 1.2K views to Pepe's 1K.

It just keeps getting better. Lots of familiar faces in the latest Barretta Bros episode:
