Muppet Stuff on "Brandon and Akiva Need a Podcast"!

I was recently a guest on the Brandon and Akiva Need a Podcast to talk about the Muppet Stuff Museum. 

The premise of the podcast is that hosts Brandon Donlon and Akiva Wienerkur need a podcast and every week, so they spin a wheel of listener-submitted ideas, and whatever the wheel lands on is what they podcast about next. 

In this episode, Brandon Donlon and Akiva talk about collections and I join the conversation around the 58 min mark. 

You can listen to Brandon and Akiva Need a Podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and many more here.

NPR: Pop Culture Happy Hour - Our Favorite Muppets!

NPR's Pop Culture Happy Hour recently did what many of us do everyday. Talk about The Muppets. 

When The Muppet Show arrived on Disney Plus in February, it got us talking: who are our favorite Muppets? And which Muppet do we most identify with? Today, we're discussing all things Muppets and finding out where we fit in Jim Henson's felt universe.

As you'll hear, they asked their listeners who their favorite Muppet/ Jim Henson character was.

Here is the list of the top 25.

On the show they reveal the top ten, so listen to the show first if you want to be and be surprised. #1 is a shocker!

Lisa and Brian Henson on Sibling Revelry!

Lisa and Brian Henson were recent guests on Kate Hudson and Oliver Hudson's podcast Sibling Revelry.

They discuss growing up alongside the world of Muppets, how their parents got into puppeteering, how Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy came to be, why the Muppets got fired from SNL, taking over the family company, and more. 

You can listen on Spotify and wherever you get your podcasts.

Baretta Brothers: Kevin Clash and Jane Gootnick!

Last week the Baretta Brothers interviewed performer Kevin Clash and Muppet costume designer Jane Gootnick! 

There was so much to discuss they broke it up in two parts.

You can watch part 1 below:

Watch part 2 Sunday at www.thebarrettabrothers.com and on youtube. 

Throwback Thursday: Rewind: Jim Henson and the Birth of the Muppets

Back in May, on the 25th anniversary of Jim Henson's death, Canada's CBC produced an episode of their throwback radio show Rewind all about Henson and the Muppets.

The episode uses many archival interviews with Jim and his collaborators including Richard Hunt, Frank Oz, and Dennis Lee. The information about the characters is not to be missed. 

Enjoy!
