The MuppetCast is back in full force! This week we make our post-tournament return with a great interview with Dave LaMattina and Chad Walker from Copper Pot Pictures.

Show #219 – August 12, 2012
Presenting a new experimental segment: The Muppet Musical Alphabet! There are so many wonderful songs that it’s impossible to include them all, but as we continually find new and interesting ways to pay tribute to Jim Henson and the Muppets, one of the very best ways to do so is in song.
Congratulations to Copper Pot Pictures (@Copper_Pot) on reaching their goal of $100,000 in their kickstarter campaign! Muppet fans everywhere heard the call and acted to make “I Am Big Bird” a reality. It will undoubtedly be an amazing documentary of a truly amazing man, Caroll Spinney.

Show #217 – July 29, 2012
Chad Walker and Dave LaMattina from Copper Pot Pictures join me this week to talk about the currently-being-filmed documentary “I Am Big Bird.” Chad and Dave are producing and directing the film, and they have some amazing stories to share from their experiences filming Caroll Spinney, and telling his life story in this exciting project.
If you are able, please consider contributing to the I Am Big Bird Kickstarter campaign to keep the cash moving in the right direction for I Am Big Bird. For only $25, you can secure a copy of the movie on DVD, when it comes out. You can donate practically any amount you like, but that seems to be the most popular amount, since you are guaranteed a DVD out of it.
Also, click over to One Fan’s Dream and order your very own “It’s Not a Golf Ball” Tshirt. Celebrate your Disney & Epcot fandom in style!
Thanks for listening to the show! Send an email to me@muppetcast.com with any comments or questions about the podcast. Follow us on Twitter and Facebook too!
