Valentine’s Day is right around the corner (heck, chances are by the time you hear this it will have been a few days ago), so let’s kick back with a rare Muppet treat: The Kermit and Piggy Story! Kermit and Miss Piggy rehash old memories, and bring us along for the ride through the highs and lows of their on-screen relationship.
Jim Henson was featured on the PBS series “Pioneers of Television” this past week, and I include the Henson-related audio from that program in the podcast.
Check out my appearances on Castle to Castle and Communicore Online this week too! Apparently people like talking to me about the Muppets, and I’m always happy to oblige. More >

Show #191 – January 20, 2011
Jan 30th
Muppet fans were saddened to hear of the passing of longtime Sesame Street writer and composer Tony Geiss earlier this week. We pay tribute to Mr. Geiss’s extensive work by replaying many of our favorite songs and skits, as well as hearing from the man himself.
Later in the show, listener Chase Beecher gives an exciting review of his viewings (yes, plural!) of the new documentary “Being Elmo: A Puppeteer’s Journey“. Chase was present for the film’s world premiere at the Sundance film festival, and then saw it again later in the week. He also got to talk with numerous folks who worked on the film, and we have a great time discussing it all. Video footage of him at Sundance WITH ELMO here! More >

This week I’m honored to have Kevin Clash on the show for a new interview, talking about his experiences making “Being Elmo: A Puppeteer’s Journey“. It’s always a real treat to have Kevin on the show, and I know you’ll love hearing from him!
It’s also finally time to present the 2010 Year In Review special, complete with Ryan & Joe from ToughPigs.com. As you can guess, hilarity ensues, complete with a couple good outtakes after the closing song. More >
