Welcome to The MuppetCast! This is the only fan-created podcast on the web dedicated to the work of Jim Henson and the Muppets. Special thanks to actor Jason Mewes for doing the show intro!
This week we celebrate someone very special in the life of the Muppets: one of the greatest singer/songwriters, John Denver. He passed away 11 years ago today, on October 12, 1997. The Muppet Wiki lists no less than 6 separate occasions where John appears with the Muppets, and in this episode we talk about and listen in on all of them. Sing along if you know the words! More >

Hello and welcome to The MuppetCast! I’m your host Steve Swanson, and in this episode I’ll bring you to Atlanta, GA to visit the Center for Puppetry Arts. The Center just recently celebrated their 30th anniversary, and I was able to capture some very special moments to bring back to the show.
This week will feature the celebration’s opening moments with Executive Director Vince Anthony. Following Mr. Anthony is Cheryl Henson, one of Jim Henson’s daughters, and she talks a bit about the anniversary as well as the new exhibit “Jim Henson: Wonders From His Workshop“. Next we hear Cheryl again, this time from a Saturday morning tour through the exhibit (given for Center members only), and she talks about some of the finer details of the pieces on display, and what was involved in putting this amazing collection together for the public.
