Ever want to sit while Muppeteers talk shop? Dream delivered
I’ve often said that I would love to just be in a tiny corner while all of these amazing creatives just sit and talk. Matt Vogel gives us this dream come true. You get to hear stories and perspectives from many we never get to hear from, but would love to listen to! Everyone from writers to performers to wranglers. Add this bright light of joy to your library. You won’t be sorry. If you enjoy any of Jim Henson’s creations you’ll enjoy this.
Excellent for professional and aspiring puppeteers!
What a gift this podcast is! Matt asks wonderful, thoughtful questions and the guests are always inspiring and give such insight to the art of puppetry. An excellent podcast for anyone interested in learning more about tv-style puppetry as a career.
Wonderful!
I enjoy this podcast so much! It’s fantastic to hear about all of the behind the scenes action for Muppets and Sesame Street. You learn so much about all of the awesome puppeteers and puppet builders. It’s funny, heartwarming, and just fascinating! Love it! Keep them coming! Thanks Matt!
