Hi-ho! It’s Christmas time, and we’re doing something special. We’re doing The Muppets! What do Muppets have to do with animation? Well, they’re puppets… and that’s kind of a form of animation. …sorta.

Anyhoo, we’re joined this week by Stephanie O’Donnell and Don McLeod. For nearly two hours, we run through the entire history of the Muppets from Sam & Friends to Muppets In Space. We dig up some obscure Muppets you may not have even heard of. We talk about the Muppeteers, too.

This episode is dedicated to Jim Henson and Richard Hunt, two geniuses who left us too soon.
