A Muppet podcast worth checking out

The MuppetCast is not a podcast created by the Jim Henson company like the one I mentioned back in August, but rather a simple love letter to the Muppets from Steve Swanson, a longtime fan. I’ve posted video of the Lab below.

There’s nothing wrong with updates on what’s happening, but it’s cool for a Muppet enthusiast like myself to sit back and listen to someone who loves them as much as I do.

In the

first podcast, Swanson talks about the merger amoung Disney and The Muppets, and comes to the conclusion that the Muppets can inspire young kids today just as much as they inspired those of us who grew up with them. In many ways, that makes it better than the other, “official” podcast considering it’s not simply a plug for upcoming projects from Jim Henson Studios. It’s a sentiment I mostly agree with, though I think the Muppets lost that convinced je nais se quoi when Jim Henson passed away, and that’s something I have difficultly overlooking.

Swanson plus talks about the Muppet Mobile Lab at Disney.
