  • Show #182 – November 14, 2010

    We’ll call this Part 1 of a two-part episode in which we meet lots of new and old friends following their dreams in the world of comic books! I recently had the opportunity to meet and talk with these folks and more at the 2010 Mid-Ohio Comic Con. You should click over to their links below, follow them on Facebook, and get acquainted with these people, because they want to get to know you! Many of the artists below also happily do Muppet commissions, so you can get yourself some custom Muppet artwork.

    The MuppetCast is sponsored by The Fingerbucket Report and Bell, Book & Comic. Life should be more Fun!

    Guests in this episode include (in order of appearance):
    Katie Cook (Fraggle Rock, Star Wars)

    David Petersen (Mouse Guard, Fraggle Rock, Muppet Show)

    Enrica Jang (New Comic Book: Azteca)

    Joel Jackson and James Moore (Radio Free Gahanna, Coco Fiasco)

    Jesse Rubenfeld (“Muppets Last Supper” artist, Into The Dust)

    Amanda Elliott (The Adventures of Vampire Kitty and Space Bat)

    Mark LeMieux (New Comic Book: MUTE)

  • Show #130 – October 4, 2009

    It’s that time of year again! The MuppetCast is coming to you “live” from the Mid-Ohio Comic Con in Columbus, OH. I’m here helping at the Bell, Book & Comic table (Life should be more Fun!) and having a great time. I met a lot of interesting people over the weekend – artists, writers, etc – and you’ll hear from some of them on the show. (more…)

  • Show #121 – August 2, 2009

    I’m very happy to bring on Roger Langridge for his second MuppetCast appearance! Roger is the cartoonist behind the wonderful new Muppet Show comic books currently flying off store shelves, and he joins me this week to talk about his recent experiences at Comic Con 2009.

    Special thanks to Frank The Horse (maybe steer the little ones away) for that hilarious intro. I loved it! If YOU, dear listener, know any puppet characters who would like to give a special intro for The MuppetCast, let me extend the invitation to call them in or record and send it like Frank! (more…)

  • Show #120 – July 26, 2009

    This week I just can’t seem to get off the phone. I’m happy to welcome not one, not two, but FOUR MuppetCast listeners on to talk about their experiences at both Comic Con 2009 and the recent Puppeteers of America National festival.

    Special thanks to Matt Kahl, Marianne Murphy, Megan McCabe, and David Stephens for talking with me this week. We all had a blast! (more…)

  • Show #68 – July 27, 2008

    Welcome to The MuppetCast! I’m your host Steve Swanson, and this week’s show is jam-packed with so much content that I had to push back the upcoming special edition episode devoted to The Muppets Take Manhattan (which was the winner in the listener poll). This episode is really bursting at the seams with Muppet news, history, listener feedback, a brand new segment, and a feature segment containing some great rare Muppet audio. And on top of all of this, I’m happy to announce the winner of the Make Something Cool contest!

    The featured audio this week comes to us courtesy of MuppetDanny. Since The Muppets Take Manhattan did win the poll, and since we had to delay its special episode, together we present something of a warm-up for the real thing. This rare audio comes from a 1984 book-and-record production of the Muppet gang presenting an abbreviated story of the film. (more…)
