Lots of listener questions and feedback this week, along with a new contest!
Make sure to vote on the new poll this week at MuppetCast.com, and tell me who you’d like to hear as the next guest on the podcast.
The prize for the new contest is a Palisades Muppet figure from series seven: the one, the only, Jonny Fiama! No cannolis, sorry.
Jon Melville sent 2 news stories about a new Elmo DVD release coming to the UK. Read the first story here, and the second one here.
See the video for Danger’s No Stranger, thanks to Joel!
Thanks to Joe V for the story about Toxic Audio appearing now at the V Theater in Vegas. Check their show schedule for details.
George’s friend Colby makes some amazing sculpts of some Fraggles, and even Jim himself!
Many thanks to Tom Stewart for posting the links to Henson’s Place over on YouTube. Read the Muppet Wiki article for the documentary too.
Crowds are showing up in record numbers in Mesa to see Jim Henson’s Fantastic World.
David Carter sends us a link to the Muppet checks. Paying your bills was never so fun!
Clay Nash points out that Okkervil River has a cover of Simon Smith on their freely downloadable mix tape. A different take on an old favorite.
Finally, Amanda points out that Cookie Monster made a recent appearance on NPR’s In Character. Great performance by David Rudman!
Big thanks as always to our sponsor, Bell Book and Comic. Life should be more fun! Also to Bill’s Bricks for sponsoring the current contest.
