    Unbelievable. The 4-Year Anniversary.

    This episode wound up becoming Part 1 of a two-part endeavor to look back at some of my personal favorite Muppet moments, as well as taking the rare opportunity to re-examine some personal highs experienced while producing the podcast.

    Welcome to the first show of 2010! To celebrate the new year we’ll look at a great Muppet TV special that aired in January of 1896, “The Muppets: A Celebration of 30 Years“. Sesame Street was less than 20 years old way back then, if you can believe it!

We talk about the show’s past, present, and future, Emilio’s personal contributions to children’s cultural education on the Street, and much, much more. (more…)
