They need more, with interviews with like Jerry or Frank or a longer one with Dave!
Cant Wait for More to Come!

Well, you can't really blame Dave for not giving a longer interview...he's kinda shy. And forgetful, apparently. (Although I admit, as his fan club, I would like to hear more interviews with him anyway.)

I don't really see why they'd want to interview Jerry or Frank for Labyrinth, because Jerry wasn't involved it in at all and Frank's only involvement was performing the Wiseman.

Of course, if you mean general interviews, then yeah, they totally need like a billion of those.

Just for those who are new to Podcasting...

There's several ways to listen to the Henson Podcast. I'm going to go over those methods, but the first thing you MUST understand is that YOU DO NOT NEED AN iPOD! There. Got that out of the way.

The easiest way to listen is as follows:

1. Download Apple's iTunes. http://www.Apple.com/itunes - It's Free. It works on PC and Mac and it makes listening to Podcasts a snap.

2. After iTunes is installed, follow this link - http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=181528798

3. After a few moments, that should open iTunes if you've installed it properly and go to the Henson Podcast Page in the iTunes directory. All you need to do next is click SUBSCRIBE and the episodes will be downloaded directly to your computer every time they are released.

Now, I know there are people out there who abhor iTunes, that's fine, it's a free country. There are several other pieces of software that'll allow you to subscribe to the show. There's a (by no means complete) list of them here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podcatching#Applications

Download one of those and then subscribe to this feed - http://www.henson.com/podcast/rss.xml

Now, you can also listen to the show directly on the web. For this you will need the latest version of Quicktime installed - http://www.apple.com/quicktime

Just go to http://www.Henson.com/podcast

Read the show descriptions and click on where it says listen. A new page will load and the mp3 SHOULD start to play. This may take a few minutes to start depending on the speed of your internet connection.

I hope everyone gets a chance to check out these shows and if you'd like to hear MORE, please let Henson know: podcast@henson.com

If you're still having trouble listening, please let me know and I'll do my best to help you out!

Just wondering if anyone's had a chance to listen to the new episode and if so, what you thought about it! I think the interview with Karen went pretty well (and yes, the interview with Dave is short, but fun).

I just listened to these today. It's cool to hear from Henson people! I find the way the announcer says "all rights reserved" right at the end sounds like he's about to say "allllright!" Maybe he's just too enthusiastic for legal jargon. It makes me laugh every time.
Lol, but honestly, really neat. Interviews are great. I hope they continue. We can get news really quickly through the internet, but interviews are pretty rare. So I hope the interviews stays a regular trend.
