Fan of The Muppets and Jim Henson? This Is The Podcast For You!

The Barretta boys are fun, talented, wholesome, and have an amazing sense of humor. You’ll find out about some very interesting behind-the-scenes insights and things that even the most diehard Muppet/Henson fans might not have heard before, with tons of laughs along the way! Go to the YouTube channel and check out the vodcast, it’s even more fun! Q&As, chat, and sometimes special things like Muppet trivia! It’s the most fun I’ve ever had on any livestream, and we’ve become a close-knit family of sorts in the chat (and who knows, you might even see people like Julianne Buescher, Ed Christie, or Tyler Bunch in there...). So definitely subscribe to the Barretta’s YouTube channel and join our family as well as this podcast!
