The Muppet Newsflash Podcast (which is sort a running joke between JD Hansel and I) makes an admirable effort this week. Meaning, JD and I make Muppet podcast magic once again as we bring everyone up to date on what’s happening in the Muppet world. Lots of news, some great Frank Oz clips, and even more links to check out!

Episode Guest

JD Hansel is the host of Eleven Point Collar, and the owner of Muppet Hub, one of the fastest growing Muppet fansites.
