Here it is, the first MuppetCast video podcast! This is a look into a really fun group of guys called the Balcony Puppeteers. The video was taken at the recent Puppets Up festival. You’ll get to see some of their improvised performance at the festival in front of real live people, we’ll hear from Jamie Douglas, one of the members of the troupe, and we even get a look at what it’s like behind the scenes at “The Balcony”. Fun stuff!

Just watched the vidcast, very cool. Your podcast has resparked my love of all things puppet and I am having a great time catching up on your past episodes. Thanks a lot!
Thanks so much for the nod Steve! You’re a great guy – nice hanging out with you in Almonte. See you next year hopefully!
Check out the latest youtube clip o’ mine from the festival…

Catch you later man!
That’s funny… I left comments #4 and #5. See, today #4 wasn’t there, so it looked like I didn’t care enough to respond. So I typed #5 while shoving salad in my face.
Ummm… Bye!
Yeah, sorry ’bout that Jamie. I set it up so I have to approve comments before they’re displayed. You’d be amazed at the amount of spam comments that get submitted by web bots. Amazed I tell’s ya!
