This is the first of my two-part coverage of Steve Whitmire‘s special appearance at the Center for Puppetry Arts. His lecture/workshop event was titled “The Sentient Puppet”.

Welcome to The MuppetCast! Even though I’m not here in the studio, there’s still a great episode on tap for this week! I’m joined by a very special guest, Vince Anthony. Vince is the Executive Director of the Center for Puppetry Arts in Atlanta which, coincidentally, is where I am this weekend! Vince talks about the exciting events taking place during the Center’s 30th anniversary celebration. This particular weekend is for members of the Center only (which still includes a large number of people), and then the Center is open to the public Tuesday through Sunday every week. Make sure to stop by if you’re in the area, and see their amazing new exhibit “Jim Henson: Wonders from his Workshop”. More >

Measuring the Marigolds, it’s The MuppetCast! Brought to you by our friends at Bell, Book & Comic, this week I’m very happy to present a listener interview with Christy B from Tennessee. Christy just returned from a trip to Walt Disney World, and she has plenty to tell us, not only of her trip in general, but all about Muppet merchandise in the parks. She’ll tell you where it is, how to find it, and how to trade for it. Lots of great information.
