Another show, another round of the 2012 Muppet Madness Tournament (and sadly another microphone issue, sorry!). But we the MuppetFans reunite once again to run down the results of Round 2, present the Round 3 matchups, and laugh a whole bunch. Join in the fun!
Follow us at @muppettourney and vote EVERY 6 HOURS at muppetfans.com.
Have a great week!

The MuppetCast is back! Show notes to follow soon.
I’ve been out of the loop! Long hours at work, in the studio, and a Disney vacation have left me far removed from many of the recent events in the Muppet world. So to get me back on track, Ryan Roe from ToughPigs.com joins me to bring me up to speed.
After our chat, I thought it would be fun to listen to the entire, out-of-print LP soundtrack from the classic “Muppet Musicians of Bremen” (complete with all those lovely little crackles and pops). (more…)
This is it for The MuppetCast’s coverage of the 2011 Muppet Madness Tournament. Technically there’s one more day to vote in the Championship Round (and the voting has been teetering back and forth all day), but this is the final show in which we get to cover any of it. By next week, we’ll have crowned our Muppet champion and the tournament will be history!
Since we aren’t able to discern a clear winner – Super Grover or Statler & Waldorf – Ryan, Joe, and I give some top-notch tournament analysis, and then shortly decide to call it a day and play a bunch of Super Grover and Statler & Waldorf clips. We sincerely hope our laziness will inspire you to pick your favorite out of these two, and then spend hours and hours voting for them on our website. Really, this shameless self-promotion is all for you. (more…)
The Muppet Madness Tournament continues this week, as we look at Rounds 2 and 3, and get ready for the Final Four! Ryan and Joe join me from ToughPigs, and we have a grand old time. (more…)
The 2011 Muppet Madness Tournament has begun, and I couldn’t be more excited! This week I’m joined by the whole gang – Ryan Dosier, Ryan Roe, and Joe Hennes – as we look over the Round 1 voting, and prepare ourselves for the pandemonium that will surely ensue in Round 2. (more…)
You know I’m not one to brag, but this week’s episode marks a historic moment, not just for The MuppetCast, but possibly for fans of Jim Henson and the Muppets worldwide. Along with the friends who join me in this episode, I am deeply honored and extremely proud to present a new endeavor not just for The MuppetCast, but for everyone who enjoys creating content for Muppet fans online: MuppetFans.com.
Joined by my friends Ryan Roe, Joe Hennes, and Dave Hulteen (and Ryan Dosier in spirit), we present this new website not just as a focal point of our own efforts, but as a truly complete collection of news, trivia, reviews, video, and all manner of Muppet entertainment. We hope that MuppetFans.com earns the reputation we set out to give it; that of being THE online destination of all Muppet fans everywhere.
We can’t do it without your help, so please talk to us early and often about what you want, and what you like, from this website. You can always email me personally at my MuppetCast address, and also at contact@muppetfans.com. We can’t wait to hear from you!
As always, thanks for listening! Questions/Comments about the Muppets or The MuppetCast can be emailed to me@muppetcast.com, or called in to the voicemail line at 614-364-4270. Follow the show on Twitter and join the Facebook page too!
Have a great week!

This week I’m honored to have Kevin Clash on the show for a new interview, talking about his experiences making “Being Elmo: A Puppeteer’s Journey“. It’s always a real treat to have Kevin on the show, and I know you’ll love hearing from him!
It’s also finally time to present the 2010 Year In Review special, complete with Ryan & Joe from ToughPigs.com. As you can guess, hilarity ensues, complete with a couple good outtakes after the closing song. (more…)
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!

This week I’m joined by Ryan Dosier, Ryan Roe, and Joe Hennes (from The Muppet Mindset and ToughPigs.com) as we cover the news and generally do whatever it is we do around here. Enjoy!
Nicholas Lemon also joins me as we discuss his exciting upcoming puppet performance of his famous “Weird Al” medley!
By the way, the outtakes at the very end of the show are (I think) very funny, but probably not appropriate for the kiddies. I put them after the closing song, but just giving you fair warning. (more…)
