The New York wing of The MuppetCast (Jarrid and Teresa) takes over this week, presenting the audio from a recent screening event at the Museum of the Moving Image (MoMI). The event is called “Jim Henson and the Music of Joe Raposo” and is just fantastic. Mr. Raposo’s son Nick also joins presenter Craig Shemin to speak about his father. For more information on MoMI and the Henson screening events, visit their website (more…)

After The Sax #1 – March 23, 2013
Let’s hop in the car and talk some Muppets! In between “normal” episodes of the show, this is the launch of a new experimental show, titled “After The Sax”. Think of it as an informal chat just between us about the Muppets, and even life in general.
Kermit and Fozzie’s dad is mentioned, from The Great Muppet Caper, and you can read more about that character at The Muppet Wiki.
I hope you’re ready for the 2013 Muppet Madness Tournament, because it’s about to start on March 19!
As always, thanks for downloading and listening to the show! I’d love to hear your feedback, particularly on this kind of format. Email, Tweet, and Facebook me, and tell your friends about the show!
Have a great week!

Show #237 – February 17, 2013
We delve into the musical catalog of Joe Raposo this week (okay we actually only scratch the surface, given the vast body of work Raposo generated), with the help of listener and MuppetCast newsman Jon Soble.
Muppet Trivia this week is about the great Frank Oz, whose father Michael was, in fact, the Telephone Pole.
In Muppetology we discuss the Jim Henson Company Archives, which in either New York or L.A., would make for a fun afternoon of digging around, wouldn’t it!
Sesame Street’s own Abby Cadabby and Dr. Jeanette Betancourt talked with HuffPost Live this week about divorce and its effects on children. Sesame Workshop has an online toolkit, “Little Children, Big Challenges: Divorce“, which offers assistance to both parents and children.
Sesame Street is, by the time of this posting, over 1 billion overall views on YouTube! Congratulations!
Here’s the link to the official Amazon listing for the upcoming Fraggle Rock book “Down at Fraggle Rock: Treasures from the Jim Henson Archives“. The book is due out in September 2013.
