Show #209 – “They Were Golf Club Covers”
Oct 23rd
Good grief, it’s another podcaster! I met fellow Muppet fan and podcaster Scott Murray during my recent trip to Walt Disney World (at the Muppet store no less!), and I’m glad to have him as this week’s special guest. We talk about, what else, Disney World and Muppets, and also how you can get some cool custom-made Muppet merch at the parks!
Check out Scott’s work on The Critic Show podcast.
We also get into the Halloween season a bit with some spooky and scary Muppet songs. Got any requests? Send them in!

Mid-Week Update: Stuff You Should Know
Oct 12th
With one foot already out the door, I needed to bring everyone up to date on a few things I forgot to mention in the last show.
First, check out the official theatrical trailer for Being Elmo: A Puppeteer’s Journey! Keep up with the crew over at BeingElmo.com, and make sure to follow them on Facebook and Twitter too.
Next, you need to enter The Muppets Sweepstakes, presented by the Yamaha Entertainment Group. Click here to do that on Facebook. You simply Like their page, click the “Enter Now” link (it either says exactly that or something like that) and enter your info and you’re signed up. You could win a Yamaha grand piano AND free tickets to the November 12 premiere AND free airfare and hotel for your trip to see the movie. The folks at Yamaha are really happy to be able to present this, and I think it’s an awesome opportunity for Muppet fans.
That’s about it. Have a good week, and I’ll see you soon!

Show #208 – “Having Talent Certainly Helps”
Oct 9th
Nicholas Lemon is about to change your life. That is, if you want to be a professional puppeteer and are looking for a curriculum and a school to attend where you can learn what a top puppeteer needs to know, then he’s about to change your life (if you want to be a chef he cannot help you). Through his company Lemon Productions, he is offering North America’s first ACTORS ACADEMY FOR THE PUPPERTY ARTS, where you as an actor or puppeteer can stretch your abilities through ongoing training to compete in the business of professional puppetry.
For more information or to enroll, contact TAAPA through this link. And tell ‘em The MuppetCast sent you!
Thanks to Nic Kramer too, for sending and recommending some great material to pay tribute to Steve Jobs, the visionary behind Apple computers and much of today’s leading technology. Jobs passed away this week, and his influence even spread a bit into the Muppet world.
