Show #43 – February 3, 2008
With a watch of gold on a diamond chain, it’s time for The MuppetCast!
This week I’m pleased to be able to speak with Paul Barrie, host of A Window To The Magic. Paul is a class act, and one of the finest podcasters on the Net. Get a window into the WTTM podcast, and of course lots of other Muppet-y goodness.
Congratulations to Bell, Book and Comic on their first TV commercial! Available for viewing now on YouTube, check it out!
Nic Kramer found the blog of one of the Disney store design managers, and on it we see that we may be getting some more Muppet merchandise in the Disney stores.
David Quesal sent in this link to a Jim Henson Hour intro, and you can find lots more where this came from!
Tom Stewart sent a YouTube link to his friend George the Groundhog (and here I always thought he was a gopher!), waking up on Groundhog Day. Funny stuff, thanks Tom!
Questions/Comments can be sent via email to me@muppetcast.com, or called in to the voicemail line at 614-364-4270. Or just find me over at the Muppet Central Forums, 10 years going strong!
Have a great week!
-Steve

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.

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 >
