  • Full Video: NY Vidcast #4

    Back in September when I originally put the NY Vidcasts together, one of those unfortunate computer things happened as I was finishing the final video and I thought I lost almost all of the content I had shot. I posted what I had completed of that final installment and simply called it a day. Well, I was able to recover that stuff this week, and am happy to now present the last NYC video in its full glory! There are some things I really wanted you to see, and now I can show them to you.

    Enjoy!

    The Muppet Whatnot Workshop
    Central Park (Jim Henson and Jon Stone benches)
    Carmen Osbahr and Rosita (Not typically included in New York travel guides, but I found them)
    The Henson Townhouse

  • Show #170 – Road Trip to NY #2

    We make it to New York this week, with the “Muppet Vault” fan meet held on July 25, 2010 in Brooklyn. This was a fun-filled afternoon spent with more Muppet fans than we ever expected! Thanks to everybody who came out and made this such a special event. We’ll definitely do this again soon!

    In case you weren’t there, we proudly present OUR portions of the event (meaning, we can’t really show a lot from the actual videos we screened here in the vidcast). We hope you understand. Anyway, you can see most of this stuff on YouTube.

    So enjoy the fan meet! Call me at 614-364-4270 and tell me what you thought of it, or email me@muppetcast.com with your comments.

    Next week, even more cool Muppet stuff to do in NYC!

    Have a great week.

  • Show #70 – August 10, 2008

    Live from New Jersey, it’s The MuppetCast!

    Coming to you from the comfy confines of my hotel room in New Jersey, this week’s episode consists of me giving a play-by-play description of everything I experienced while visiting Jane Hunt (mother of Muppeteer Richard Hunt) and Arthur Miller at their home. I took a small sub-set of my equipment on the road with me just in case I’d need it, and that turned out to be a good decision.

    Partly because I knew it would make for a good episode, and partly because it was all fresh in my mind at the time and I didn’t want to forget any of it, you’ll hear me describe in great detail just what happened in the Hunt household while I was there. Next week you’ll hear Jane herself, as she and I conducted an in-person interview on video (of which you’ll hear the audio). (more…)
