In this episode of Muppet Fans Talking, JD and Steve don’t talk about Muppets for the first hour. Would you expect anything less? Note that this episode was recorded weeks ago, so it doesn’t contain any recent Muppet/Henson news. Sorry about that. We talk about Follow That Bird though. So that’s cool. And Stranger Things. There are some minor spoil…

This episode of MFT features my interview with Kevin Perjurer, known for his YouTube channel, Defunctland.

I was so happy to get the chance to talk about it with Kevin! Here’s a link to the series: Defun…

If you’re new to the show, don’t start with this episode. This episode is very strange. In this episode, I force CW to watch The Dark Crystal. All of it. While we’re hosting the podcast. Chaos ensues. (Also, please forgive my audio quality in this episode – something went horribly wrong with my microphone! Chaos ensues.) Enjoy! — J. D.…

After many requests, and one whole year of thinking it over, I finally decided it was worth releasing this audio as a podcast. The video’s been up on YouTube for a year, which is why I was unsure as to whether this needed to be a podcast, but I think it does. This is worth listening to, if only so you get to hear some of Brian Jay Jones’ great stor…
