Show #201 – April 24, 2011
Apr 24th
This show falls under the category of “amazing opportunities”. Recently, Sesame Workshop, The USO, singer Nick Jonas, and Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden were all in Columbus to present the official launch of a new USO/Sesame Street Live touring show. The show will be performed almost exclusively for military families stationed overseas. The show is geared mostly to the children in these families, who can sometimes find it stressful to constantly be moving around as a parent is transferred from one base to another. Having to constantly change to new environments – and leave old friends behind – can be extremely difficult for children. This new show introduces a brand new Sesame Street character whose background is identical to these children, and along with her Sesame Street pals, this new character expresses feelings that many children in military families share.
Many, many thanks to Sesame Workshop and the USO for the work they do for children, for our military, and for military families everywhere. More >

Show #200 – April 11, 2011
Apr 11th
Unbelievable. The 4-Year Anniversary.
This episode wound up becoming Part 1 of a two-part endeavor to look back at some of my personal favorite Muppet moments, as well as taking the rare opportunity to re-examine some personal highs experienced while producing the podcast. Lots of (hopefully entertaining) stories and such. It’s my attempt to give you, my friend in the audience, a look at The MuppetCast through my eyes. More >

Show #199 – April 3, 2011
Apr 3rd
This is it for The MuppetCast’s coverage of the 2011 Muppet Madness Tournament. Technically there’s one more day to vote in the Championship Round (and the voting has been teetering back and forth all day), but this is the final show in which we get to cover any of it. By next week, we’ll have crowned our Muppet champion and the tournament will be history!
Since we aren’t able to discern a clear winner – Super Grover or Statler & Waldorf – Ryan, Joe, and I give some top-notch tournament analysis, and then shortly decide to call it a day and play a bunch of Super Grover and Statler & Waldorf clips. We sincerely hope our laziness will inspire you to pick your favorite out of these two, and then spend hours and hours voting for them on our website. Really, this shameless self-promotion is all for you. More >

The 2011 Muppet Madness Tournament has begun, and I couldn’t be more excited! This week I’m joined by the whole gang – Ryan Dosier, Ryan Roe, and Joe Hennes – as we look over the Round 1 voting, and prepare ourselves for the pandemonium that will surely ensue in Round 2. More >
