Part 3 of this 4-part vidcast series is entitled “Muppet Fans in New York”. In this video we see some of the sights that fans of Jim Henson and the Muppets would really enjoy, including:
The Muppet Whatnot Workshop
Central Park (Jim Henson and Jon Stone benches)
Carmen Osbahr and Rosita (Not typically included in New York travel guides, but I found them)
The Henson Townhouse
I hope you’re enjoying watching these vidcasts as much as I enjoy presenting them! Drop me a line at me@muppetcast.com, or call the show at 614-364-4270. Join up on the Facebook page too!

Show #170 – Road Trip to NY #2
Aug 9th
We make it to New York this week, with the “Muppet Vault” fan meet held on July 25, 2010 in Brooklyn. This was a fun-filled afternoon spent with more Muppet fans than we ever expected! Thanks to everybody who came out and made this such a special event. We’ll definitely do this again soon!
In case you weren’t there, we proudly present OUR portions of the event (meaning, we can’t really show a lot from the actual videos we screened here in the vidcast). We hope you understand. Anyway, you can see most of this stuff on YouTube.
So enjoy the fan meet! Call me at 614-364-4270 and tell me what you thought of it, or email me@muppetcast.com with your comments.
Next week, even more cool Muppet stuff to do in NYC!
Have a great week.

One More Thing: NYC MuppetCast Trip Announcement!
Jul 3rd
It’s official! The MuppetCast (and thereby its host Steve Swanson) will be visiting New York City for the first time ever! Plans are being made right now, and the stonecarvers are hard at work setting the plans into…well, stone. We ran out of paper here at the office.
The MuppetCast and ToughPigs.com will jointly present an afternoon of what will surely be Muppetational fun on Governor’s Island in NYC. For the latest announcements concerning this awesome Muppet fan gathering, visit ToughPigs.com, since they will be publishing all official plans, and any changes that affect those plans. Even plans set in stone can go wrong sometimes.
Vacation is going well. See you August 1st!

Show #70 – August 10, 2008
Aug 10th
Live from New Jersey, it’s The MuppetCast!
Coming to you from the comfy confines of my hotel room in New Jersey, this week’s episode consists of me giving a play-by-play description of everything I experienced while visiting Jane Hunt (mother of Muppeteer Richard Hunt) and Arthur Miller at their home. I took a small sub-set of my equipment on the road with me just in case I’d need it, and that turned out to be a good decision.
Partly because I knew it would make for a good episode, and partly because it was all fresh in my mind at the time and I didn’t want to forget any of it, you’ll hear me describe in great detail just what happened in the Hunt household while I was there. Next week you’ll hear Jane herself, as she and I conducted an in-person interview on video (of which you’ll hear the audio). More >
