Show #129 – Jane Hunt Vidcast
Sep 28th
Happy Birthday to Jim Henson and Steve Whitmire!
Instead of the usual show this week, I’ve decided it’s time to present a new vidcast! And this is one many listeners have been waiting to see for a very long time. This is the complete presentation of the August 2008 Road Trip to New Jersey, featuring Mrs. Jane Hunt (mother of beloved Muppeteer Richard Hunt) and myself as we celebrate Richard’s life and his work.

It’s another sunny day here on The MuppetCast! First we’ll catch up with the recent Sesame Street special “Families Stand Together: Feeling Secure in Tough Times.” Make sure to check out the official website complimenting the TV piece for additional information and recources. Then we hook up with Eric, Cathy, and Dan from Mouse Guest Weekly to discuss all things Muppet that came out of the recent D23 Expo. There’s a long list of announcements to discuss and debate, and we had a great time doing it. More >

My guest this week is puppeteer Paul McGinnis! Paul has worked on some high-profile puppet projects like Between The Lions, It’s A Big Big World, Crank Yankers…and there’s that other kid’s show that he’s been on once or twice. No seriously, Paul has also had an awesome career working on Sesame Street, with dozens of Sesame (and some other Muppet) projects under his belt. He’s wrapping up his work on the fantastic arena show Walking With Dinosaurs in a few weeks and going off to shoot the second season of Big Big World. He’s an incredibly talented puppeteer and I know you’ll enjoy our interview. More >
