Best part of my week!

Really enjoying listening to this podcast every week. I look forward to every new episode! I've never been a huge Muppets fan but Matt & Sam have convinced me to watch multiple Muppets (and Muppet-adjacent) projects. Love the pod very much! ❤️

Oh, hello, friends!

I came into the world the same month and year as The Muppet Show, and to say that Henson was a formative part of my life would be a drastic understatement. Sesame Street taught me how to read, The Muppet Show introduced me to essential culture from the 1940s-70s, and Fraggle Rock basically calibrated my entire moral compass. So when I heard there was a podcast hosted by kids who had watched Muppet Babies on *cable,* I have to admit to some typical Gen X skepticism/fear (my morpet would be Wembler). What an incredible relief and delight, then, to discover that Matthew and Sam hold the same love, reverence, and occasional good-spirited confusion that I’ve always felt for the Hensonverse. I sat down to write this after fully catching up on every episode*, so I feel 100% qualified to recommend this entire podcast to any Muppets fan, but especially those who appreciate a sweet, silly, and sometimes uncomfortably sexy 🐽 journey through this epic body of work. And if y’all ever need An Old to reflect on what it was like to ACTUALLY be eating Mr. T cereal on a Saturday morning while flipping on Muppet Babies at its network broadcast time, give me a call!

[*and then I guess Apple Podcasts freaked out and didn’t save the whole thing]

Great for all kinds of Muppet fans

Sam and Matthew are great co-hosts - I also really appreciate that it discusses all kinds of Muppet/Henson content, not just the movies and TV show!
