Episode #133 - the Muppets!

Today's podcast is a further look at the Muppets, how they ultimately became a Disney property, and how actor Jason Segel revived them on the big screen. Now back in Episode #36, I looked at the history of Henson and stopped around the time that Disney acquired them....here are some additional insights...



In the podcast, I reference some audio clips from which the Jason Segel audio comes. These are:
Studio Q
Screen Team Media
Attack of the Show
Strombo.com

Also, recommended reading is a Wired magazine article that talks about Segel's interest in the Muppets....it provided part of the inspiration for this podcast.

In addition, The Awl did an extensive piece about Jim Henson in 1990 that is worth reading...
