This week I’m joined by Muppeteer Bill Barretta! Bill and I discuss his numerous Muppet characters, his training as an actor (and how that prepared him for his eventual entrance in the Muppet world), and some of his favorite Muppet moments. Many thanks to Gene as well.

It’s a Muppet Trivia Showdown! I face off against the lads from ToughPigs.com in a no-holds-barred uber-fan matchup to see once and for all who holds the most useless Muppet facts in their head! Monsters and explosions abound!

It’s all about the music this week! Things have been popping left and right here in my neck of the woods and I thought, instead of producing a lot of “rushed” segments, it might be more fun to explore both our favorite and the more obscure Muppet songs we love so much.
Thanks for listening! Questions/Comments More >

I’m joined by listener Sara Allen this week as we discuss a topic we’ve probably overlooked until now: Sesame Street animation! Sara is a big fan of animation as an art form, and is quite knowledgeable on the subject! Check out her blog, the Ink and Pixel Club.

Muppet fan Arianne Gallagher joins me to talk about interesting Muppet conflicts over the years, both character-based and real world cases. Jim Henson’s runaway hit show Stuffed and Unstrung was also profiled recently on Carson Daly, and we have that audio for you.

It was 20 years ago today. Jim Henson sadly left us at age 53, and the world hasn’t been the same since. This week we remember the joy, the wonder, and the magic he created which has left such an enduring impression on our lives. We first experience the “news of the day” More >

Hi Steve, I loved all the clips of very memorable moments in the life of Sesame Street. Some, including the Wedding I have forgotten or I never saw so this week’s episode has been great. I do hope that we will be able to get back to listener feedback and email really soon as I find that segment as well as Muppetology really interesting and instructive. thanks- Katherine from Sydney Australia

Hi Katherine! Thanks for the comments on the episode. We will absolutely be returning to Listener Feedback and Muppetology after show #137 (an interview with Emilio Delgado). You can find the wedding video footage online, though I couldn’t find it on YouTube.
