Puppetry is hard. So let’s make it harder by using a primarily auditory medium (the podcast) to explore a primarily visual one (puppetry)! The Puppet Pod! is an hour (-ish) long podcast about the niche world of puppetry, particularly the world of contemporary puppetry for adults. Puppetry has been around in various forms for thousands of years, and yet, when someone asks a puppetry artist what they do, the answer is not so straightforward. What is puppetry? Why puppetry? What does it even mean to be a Puppeteer/Puppet Artist? So, you work with kids??? Host/puppeteer/human Josh Rice, and co-host Sara Stabley, take a deep dive into this weird and wild world of puppet theatre, and through interviews with incredible multidisciplinary artists, attempt to unpack these answers and discover why puppetry is so hard.
