Podcasts about Big Bird

Poor Jeff, Big Bird and the collapse of society

Sad news everyone. The legendary club and drag performer Jojo Baby, who for decades entertained people onstage and in every stage including everyday life with their makeup, costumes and puppets died from complications with cancer, they were 51. Today we repost one of our earlier shows from 2007 “JoJo Finds a Skull” when JoJo made the evening news upon finding a skull rolling in a boiling pot of water when shopping for mannequin parts in a strangers home they met on Craigslist. Coming of age in Chicago, JoJo was a big part of our scene in the nightclubs and the Radical Faeries. For many people of our generation JoJo was one of the first entertainers people met in the 90s and early 2000s when they first moved to town. Jojo is survived by his brother Jay Jay Arguellas and so many club performers, artists and drag queens he helped mentor and inspire. Jojo's own mentor was puppeteer and trans pioneer Greer Lankton, whose work with Andy Warhol laid the foundation for a lot of great art, including building the first Big Bird puppet for Sesame Street. Big Bird's mother was a trans woman, and JoJo Baby was Big Bird's sibling. Queer art is a huge part of everyone's DNA, and although they may be gone in body, JoJo's creations, creativity and love is still very much alive. Thank you JoJo for being a part of my life and all our lives. You live on in all of us. You live on in all of us. Please enjoy this encore presentation of Feast of Fun: “JoJo Baby Finds a Skull.” Thank you for all the glitter, glamour and guts. But most of all thank you for the fun and friendship. ❤️

Ya blue boys is at it again, and this time in PERSON as Jake returns to the Major Metropolitan Area to break down a three point win at NYCFC's glorious home opener. A raucous crowd saw our boys put in a game-winning goal off a set piece, thanks to some charitable support by Miami's McVey. We talk the return of James Sands and the very attractive action happening in the midfield between Big Bird and the Sandman. Plus: my back line was so high last night bruh. And: yes, Talles Talk is once again on the menu. So's a rundown of Reyna and Richy. Plus a window into the twisted mind of a MLS POTW voter. Crack open a Truly; you've got Blue Balls.

Anais and Mirabelle Lee talk "The Babysitters Club", the new Disney show "Saturdays", making playlists for their characters, and share some truly fun audition stories! About Anais and Mirabelle: Anais and Mirabelle Lee are actresses, models, and dancers, born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 2007. They began modeling at three years old working for brands including Target, Toys'R'Us, Disney, Saks Fifth Avenue, Converse, and many more. At five years old, they started their acting career by sharing the role of ‘Janie' in the crime thriller feature film Blood Ties directed by Guillaume Canet. Since their film debut, they have had roles in major network TV shows from Veep, The Following, Madam Secretary, Mozart in the Jungle, The Blacklist, B-Positive and Sydney to the Max, to name a few. Anais and Mirabelle won an Iced-out Mic competing on Nickelodeon's Lip Sync Battle Shorties and danced with Big Bird and friends on the Sesame Street float in the Macy's Thanks Giving Day parade.  You may have seen them on a segment of Saturday Night Live, Good Morning America, The Steven Colbert Show or Live with Kelly and Ryan and sharing a lead role in The Weeknd's music video Die for You.  More recently, after Anais' role in the feature film The Sun is Also a Star, she brought to life the iconic role of Jessi Ramsey in Netflix's The Baby-Sitters Club, which won two Emmys; while also a recurring guest star as Steph Green in the popular Netflix show The Upshaws.   Mirabelle, after an emotional guest starring role in Fox's 9-1-1, and a critically acclaimed performance in AMC Shudder's horror movie Slapface, will soon be seen recurring in Disney's new show Saturdays in the role of Sonia. Mirabelle also voices three characters in the Emmy nominated Apple TV+ animated series “El Deafo”.   Always busy, when not filming you might have seen them walking the catwalk in New York fashion week for Levi's, Jordan, Converse and Hurley, or on the cover or inside pages of magazines, but as hard as they work, they always take time to study, to dance and work on their writing skills in hopes of becoming screenwriters.  Passionate about community and giving, Anais and Mirabelle created the Beatrice Martin Foundation to promote literacy in underserved communities.   With over 1,000,000 followers, Anais and Mirabelle can be followed on their social media pages:  Instagram (@anaismirabelle), TikTok (@anaismirabelle), Anais Lee (@anaislee_) and Mirabelle Lee (@mirabellelee).

A beloved woman in a posh Connecticut town goes out for a jog, same as she does every day. Along that route is an immense estate owned by the puppeteer, Caroll Spinney, who played the iconic “Big Bird” and “Oscar the Grouch” characters on Sesame Street. After failing to return, police searching for the woman find a literal blood trail leading directly to Big Bird's estate … and an immaculate Chinese pagoda on the property. Soon, all eyes are following that bird—and yet neither he - nor the woman - are anywhere to be found.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We joke about working and our careers this time around. We talk about redlining got replace with people who use Section 8 government housing. Then I tell my brother Gabe about how I call people nerd at work and how we joke around.

It may be January but June is busting out all over and we're huckin' the bejeepers with Leslie Uggams and Big Bird (of Sesame Street, maybe you've heard of it). We have our quibbles (here we come again) but what a delight after a couple of episodes we weren't super into to have not one but two guest stars who are charming and charismatic and seem to really want to be here! Does Gonzo try to have sex with Big Bird, who is technically supposed to be a six-year-old child? Sure! Does he do it while on a date with Camilla, who he's also weirdly coercive with? Do we have thoughts about Leslie Uggams' lack of pants? Look, not everything can be perfect, okay? We get a Captain and Tennille number, some Dolly Parton, a dash of Noel Coward, Beaker lighting water on fire, Kermit throwing shade, the premiere of Bear On Patrol, and some real weird digressions into Leonard Nimoy, Bigfoot, Colonel Sanders' herbs and spices, and a whole lot of 1979 TV. Listen and let love keep us together! https://muppeturgy.com/episodes/leslie-uggamsMerch! https://muppeturgy.com/store

Sesame Street has taught generations of Americans their letters and numbers, and also how to better understand and get along with people of different races, faiths, ethnicities, and temperaments. But the show has a global reach as well, with more than thirty co-productions of Sesame Street that are viewed in over 150 countries. In recent years, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has provided funding to the New York-based Sesame Workshop to create international versions of Sesame Street. Many of these programs teach children to respect diversity and tolerate others, which some hope will ultimately help to build peace in conflict-affected societies. In fact, the U.S. government has funded local versions of the show in several countries enmeshed in conflict, including Afghanistan, Kosovo, Pakistan, Jordan, and Nigeria. Can Big Bird Fight Terrorism?: Children's Television and Globalized Multicultural Education (Oxford UP, 2019) takes an in-depth look at the Nigerian version, Sesame Square, which began airing in 2011. In addition to teaching preschool-level academic skills, Sesame Square seeks to promote peaceful coexistence-a daunting task in Nigeria, where escalating ethno-religious tensions and terrorism threaten to fracture the nation. After a year of interviewing Sesame creators, observing their production processes, conducting episode analysis, and talking to local educators who use the program in classrooms, Naomi Moland found that this child-focused use of soft power raised complex questions about how multicultural ideals translate into different settings. In Nigeria, where segregation, state fragility, and escalating conflict raise the stakes of peacebuilding efforts, multicultural education may be ineffective at best, and possibly even divisive. This book offers rare insights into the complexities, challenges, and dilemmas inherent in soft power attempts to teach the ideals of diversity and tolerance in countries suffering from internal conflicts.

Sesame Street has taught generations of Americans their letters and numbers, and also how to better understand and get along with people of different races, faiths, ethnicities, and temperaments. But the show has a global reach as well, with more than thirty co-productions of Sesame Street that are viewed in over 150 countries. In recent years, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has provided funding to the New York-based Sesame Workshop to create international versions of Sesame Street. Many of these programs teach children to respect diversity and tolerate others, which some hope will ultimately help to build peace in conflict-affected societies. In fact, the U.S. government has funded local versions of the show in several countries enmeshed in conflict, including Afghanistan, Kosovo, Pakistan, Jordan, and Nigeria. Can Big Bird Fight Terrorism?: Children's Television and Globalized Multicultural Education (Oxford UP, 2019) takes an in-depth look at the Nigerian version, Sesame Square, which began airing in 2011. In addition to teaching preschool-level academic skills, Sesame Square seeks to promote peaceful coexistence-a daunting task in Nigeria, where escalating ethno-religious tensions and terrorism threaten to fracture the nation. After a year of interviewing Sesame creators, observing their production processes, conducting episode analysis, and talking to local educators who use the program in classrooms, Naomi Moland found that this child-focused use of soft power raised complex questions about how multicultural ideals translate into different settings.

Long time no see! Today's episode is about the Atari and Children's Computer Workshop collaboration, Cookie Monster Munch. I loved Cookie Monster when I was a kid (I still do), and I also love cookies, but most cookies actually stay in my mouth, unlike some other monsters I could name. I hope that you enjoy the episode and that it was worth waiting for. Next up will be the very rare Master Builder by Spectravideo. Apparently my episodes covering Spectravideo games are also pretty rare. If you have feedback for Master Builder that does not include its history or how to play it, please send it along to 2600gamebygame@gmail.com by October 31st. On November 4th and 5th, I will once again be participating in Extra Life, to benefit the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Hopefully I will have my streaming ability together by then. If you would like to donate to the kids, please see the link below. Thank you once again for your patience, and for listening.

"It's time to stop the music, it's time to dim the lights, it's time to lower the curtain on the Muppet Show tonight," imagine that, sung very slowly and mournfully by an adult contemporary artist.

Jake & Trey are back in the hot seat after a week away, and the Boys in Blue are back in the pocket after a long hard try month. Will it be enough to keep them competitive in postseason? Perhaps! Will Nick Cushing join the ranks of Dome Torrent and Ronny Deila as a much maligned but ultimately beloved NYCFC gaffer? Perhaps that too! Will Alex Callens continue to wrecking ball his way through MLS sides? That one's a guarantee. We talk top-notch Talles moments, the return of Big Bird, the saving grace Cushing's found in a defensive approach, and so much more.THEN: Ugliness abounds in the world of national soccer. We run down the Justice Department's bombshell report on top-down culture in NWSL and its most recent ramifications. AND: are the boys in the Stars and Stripes prepared for Qatar? ... It doesn't look like it! Just do a set of ten pushups or something -- you've got Blue Balls.

Let me say one word to you: Nuts. Now, let me say one name to you: Ted Cruz. They've become synonymous, with the Texas lawmaker perennially topping national lists of goofy, right-wing political goobers. Only, Ted can't rightly be called a lawmaker, for he's not a serious participant in that process, instead devoting his senatorship to political stunts and picking silly PR fights with a growing list of enemies. Running out of people to attack, Ted has found another species for his vitriol: Fictional icons. He's been padding his right-wing credentials by going after Mr. Potato Head, Mickey and Pluto, and, believe it or not, Muppets. This US senator has dedicated the power and public resources of his office to demonize popular creatures on “Sesame Street,” specifically Big Bird and loveable little Elmo. Ted rants he has proof that Muppets are covert tools of “government propaganda.” So, this ridiculous excuse of a senator is saving America from… Muppets. But for a whole bag of assorted nuttiness, you can't beat Sen. Rick Scott's 11-point plan to “Rescue America.” A disgraced former healthcare mogul, this mega-millionaire reinvented himself as a wingnut Florida senator, and he now chairs a policy arm of the Republican Party. In February, he set forth a stunning agenda of far-out right-wing extremism that he says his party will push if they re-take the senate this November, including: Implementing new federal taxes on the poorest half of Americans. So – as Scott puts it – they'll “have skin in the game.” “Stopping socialism” by terminating Social Security and Medicare. Spending unlimited billions to build Donald Trump's folly of a border wall (and, ironically, naming the scam after The Donald). Fiddle-faddlers like Cruz and Scott have turned the once-proud US Senate into The Little Nut Shoppe on the Hill.

What people trust you on is essential. We trust that what Public Media puts out there will be beneficial, trustworthy and real.  ~ Kristin Smedley and Mary Fran Bontempo How much do you trust what the world is saying to you? In a world of fake news (often driven by people promoting falsehoods), disrespect and fear as a driving force, it's almost impossible to know whom to trust. But the folks behind public media–think Sesame Street, Mr. Rogers, RoadTrip Nation and more–know the value of trust, and deliver it consistently through their programming and educational offerings. This week's show offers a recap of some upcoming episodes with a few of the Brilliant people working in public media. Honored to speak at the NETA (National Educational Telecommunications Association) Conference, we met amazing individuals in public media who shared their own professional and personal journeys, and their Resilience and Brilliance when navigating and growing through challenges.  Their commitment to values, service and steady evolution and improvement underscores points to the reason we trust public media. Stay tuned for these upcoming, Brilliant episodes! Let's be Brilliantly Resilient together! XO, KS & MFB

Fifteen years ago, there was a lot of talk about the obesity epidemic. In 2008, Michelle Obama started a government program called “Let's Move!” that sought to reduce childhood obesity. You might remember the First Lady teaming up with everyone from Beyonce to Big Bird to promote exercise and better eating habits. Unfortunately, the program was largely a failure. And the obesity statistics continued to rise. 74% of Americans today are either obese or overweight. And yet, we're no longer talking about it. The national conversation around health and weight has turned away from things like good nutrition, weight loss and the importance of physical fitness, and instead adopted phrases like “fat acceptance” and “healthy at any size.” In some circles, there's even blanket denial that there is anything unhealthy at all about being obese.  Shaming people for being overweight is unequivocally wrong. But in our attempt to not offend, we've lost sight of the very real fact that there's a problem. Americans are heavier than ever, sicker than ever, dying earlier than ever, and... it's all preventable. So today, a conversation with Dr. Casey Means, a Stanford trained physician who left the traditional medical system behind to solve the one problem that she says is going to ruin us all: bad food.

Childrens theme park Sesame Place is being sued for $25 million dollars. Why? Because a costumed employee refused to hug a couple of girls. No joke. But now it's made international news and Rev. Jesse Jackson has gotten involved. Stigall has grown tired of cowardly corporate leadership in cases like these. Plus 61% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck as AAA warns as gas prices drop, they may trend back up if people start buying more. Strange how that works, huh? Our chief economist Steve Moore and Stigall explore.
