Podcasts about Big Bird

I set down with my brother Gabe to catch up on things. We talk about when is the right time to have kids and what kind of person that would be willing to do that with me. We went over gooning and some of the greatest games to goon to. Government assistance and how it shaped our childhood and so much more in this episode.

The right has waged a war on “woke” Sesame Street for generations. When the party passed the 2025 Recissions Act, they were finally able to take a significant field advantage in this battle—one which Big Bird and Mr Snuffleupagus never wanted to be in. That bill stripped $1.1 billion from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, greatly damaging NPR, PBS, and mostly their member stations. The CPB announced it will have to close in January 2026. What will take its place? Well, the right has a plan for that, or so Vox speculates: PragerU. Founded in 2009 as a right-wing alternative to reality, the sprawling, well-funded network teaches kids to hate DEI, love paying taxes, and recognize that the Bible offers the only salvation on this planet. Could it replace Sesame Street, however? Well, it's already in use in numerous classrooms—and the right wants it in all of them. Show Notes The White House has a preferred alternative to PBS. It may already be in countless classrooms.

Tawinee's Actual Factuals Rockies, Abbey Road and Big Bird by STAR 102.5/Des Moines

A 1968 Plymouth Roadrunner sits dormant in the corner of Apex Auto Works, carrying with it the weight of memory and loss. For Richard Tomlin, this muscle car isn't just a project—it's a living connection to his father, who died in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing. After years of seeing it gather dust, Richard has finally found the perfect reason to breathe new life into this family heirloom.The catalyst came from an unexpected source: a customer discussing his dream of racing Pikes Peak in a car like the one he once shared with his own father—who had passed away at the famous hill climb's starting line just three years ago. This serendipitous connection of father-son legacies sparked an ambitious plan that automotive purists might call sacrilege, but Richard calls love.What makes this build truly fascinating is the technical approach. Richard and his team are performing a body swap, mounting the iconic Roadrunner shell onto a donated 2015 NASCAR truck chassis, complete with racing suspension and an 830-horsepower engine. The finished car will maintain its classic muscle car appearance while gaining the performance capabilities needed to tackle America's most famous mountain road. They're even restoring it to its 1984 appearance and incorporating its longtime nickname "Big Bird" into custom touches like the valve covers.The timeline is ambitious: debut at the SEMA show in November, first competition a week later, then to the PRI show in December, before finally challenging Pikes Peak next June. For Richard, this isn't just about speed—it's about preserving memories, honoring two fathers, and demonstrating how automotive passion can transform grief into something that roars with life.Whether you're a muscle car enthusiast, a racing fan, or someone who appreciates how mechanical projects can heal the heart, this story reminds us why we love cars—they're vehicles not just for our bodies, but for our most meaningful human connections.

It's the last stop on our road to The Highwaymen with Waylon Jennings! He's an icon of Outlaw Country, and his 1973 record Honky Tonk Heroes combines his diverse musical influences and Billy Joe Shaver's modern cowboy songwriting into a consistent, ramblin' experience. From his humble DJ beginnings to his near brush with the Day The Music Died, we'll uncover how Waylon (not Wayland) became a staple of the Nashville country scene. We'll talk about hits like Black Rose and We Had It All, reminisce about Five & Dimes, and more. The Mixtaper will teach us about an indoor motorcycle, a Big Bird mishap, and a high-stakes Presidential(ish) Mix-Up.

Big Bird leaves Sesame Street to live with a family of dodos, then tries to find his way home. Special guest Samantha Noah joins us to discuss a good old boy walking out of “We Are the World,” Miss Finch's creeper van, and sad songs to talk to your therapist about. Then we see if Sesame Street Presents: Follow That Bird stands the Test of Time.

Medicine Place joins Poducer live at Sound Haven 2024 to share stories about his musical roots, cultural background, and the path that led him from college basketball to becoming one of the tallest DJs in the game. We talk about his first concert (Beyoncé in Miami), growing up on a reservation, and how the name “Medicine Place” represents something deeper than just music.

In this episode of then & now, guest host Dr. Ben Zdencanovic welcomes Professor Josh Shepperd, Associate Professor of Media Studies at the University of Colorado Boulder and Director of the Library of Congress Radio Preservation Task Force (RPTF). Josh, acclaimed author of Shadow of the New Deal: The Victory of Public Broadcasting (University of Illinois Press, 2023), discusses the complex historical development of NPR and PBS—two cornerstones of American public broadcasting. The conversation contextualizes how these public broadcasters, designed initially to provide non-commercial, equitable programming for all Americans, became politically contentious entities. The recent decision by the Trump administration to withdraw funding already allocated for public broadcasting stations like NPR and PBS is situated within a longer pattern of political challenges. By connecting past and present, Josh illuminates the enduring historical significance of public broadcasting and its precarious position within contemporary American society, offering a nuanced foundation for understanding current debates over the future of public media. Josh Shepperd is an Associate Professor of Media Studies at the University of Colorado Boulder and the Director of the Library of Congress Radio Preservation Task Force (RPTF). Pulling from political economic, Birmingham, and Foucauldian traditions, Josh researches institutional genealogies of 20th-century U.S. media culture. He is author of Shadow of the New Deal: The Victory of Public Broadcasting (University of Illinois Press, 2023), which received the 2024 BEA Book Award. Josh is currently co-writing the "History of Public Media for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB)" and "Current."

Send us a message! Really!This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, the 2026 Primary field for Colorado Democrats up and down the ticket is getting crowded! And we've got a big announcement for you on what that means for the podcast! Then, are you a human being, with a body, and, skin, and organs, and stuff like that which needs occasional tending to? Well, your healthcare is about to get a lot more expensive, and most likely, not any better! Next, Schrodinger's Epstein Files are the scandal of the decade. Or they don't exist. Or...maybe BOTH, depending on whom you talk to. But one thing is certain: Donald J Trump is absolutely in them! Then, do recissions cause recessions? We're about to find out, unfortunately; Big Bird and your local public radio station are on the chopping block because of it. And finally, in a country that has seen some progress on fighting gerrymandering and making elections and democracy more fair, representative, and reflective of the will of the people, one part in one state says…to hell with all that, we want power! Can you guess who it is? Can you?

Among the revelations of this week's episode that were entirely predictable when you think about it: "Lucretia" was a child TV star in Mason City, Iowa, on the local non-PBS kid's show "Bart's Clubhouse"; John Yoo confesses he was bad at sports as a schoolkid; and as everyone can guess, in childhood Steve merely aspired to be a walking historical analogy when he grew up. Meanwhile, poor Phil Munoz, last week's drive-by guest, is still in therapy. . .So what's all this about the Epstein Files? Does Richard Epstein still have any unexpressed thoughts at this point. . . Wait. What's that? You mean Jeffrey Epstein's files? Never mind. Anyway, we weigh the evidence and circumstances as to whether Epstein's exploits merit elevation to the status of plausible conspiracy or not. And this week saw the fulfillment of Glenn Garvin's classic 1983 article, "How Do I Hate NPR? Let Me Count the Ways." And Steve offers his favorite recipes for how he'd like to see Big Bird cooked.Other name checks on this episode include Zohran Mamdani, Upton Sinclair, Tony Podesta, Jasmine Crockett, and Craig Masback (bonus points if you know that name). And some exit music in a minor key to bring listeners back donw after this extra-exuberant episode (and also to annoy Lucretia. . .).

Ten years ago, Pearl Jam headlined a festival called the Global Citizen's Festival in Central Park where the mission was to raise funding in order to end world poverty. They were joined by the likes of Beyonce, Coldplay, Ed Sheeran, Sting and others who wanted to get this message across. It was their only US show in 2015 and was broadcast on network TV, something that Pearl Jam hasn't had a lot of opportunities to do in their history. The 12-song set certainly has it's highlights. For one time one time only, Beyonce got to share the stage with Eddie for a performance of Redemption Song. It's not something that's gone over well across the community over the years, but we'll give it it's due and discuss the connection the two of them were able to make on stage together. The other big moment from this show is Ed getting to tell the origin story of Unthought Known, having wrote it in a hotel that overlooked Central Park. We'll also talk about Big Bird, pirate rabbis, dating origin stories and why Bill Nye should probably stay away from rock 'n' roll stages. We invite our Patron, Richard Green, on to talk about his personal experience at this show, and if you stay tuned until the end you'll hear a eulogy for a loved one who left us too soon.

I haven't done a one on one with my older brother Gabe in awhile but it's long overdue. We talked about the shortcuts we used to take to get free lunch. We touched on how much of our dad was a hard worker and why he was a Trump supporter. Get told me Dad's side of the break up story when it comes to our parents. Gabe and I remember pain via video games. You can find out what hurt the most when you keep listening. I don't pick the women but you get to see what women pick me at the end of the day.

(Airdate: 5.20.25) Sesame Street has a brand-new address—Netflix! After being dumped by Max, the iconic kids' show has found a fresh home with the streamer, ensuring Big Bird and the gang can still teach the ABCs (and maybe a little SEO) to a whole new generation.  Then, Gwyneth Paltrow drops the F-bomb for anyone still bothered by her infamous “Smells Like My Lady Parts” candle. She says it was punk rock, empowering, and deeply misunderstood. Critics say… well, it smells fishy. And finally, Dakota Johnson spills the tea about how her dad, Don Johnson, cut her off financially when she skipped college. Spoiler: she didn't go broke—but she did go to modeling gigs for rent money.

In honour of World Migratory Bird Day, we're listening to two songs about birds! And also, Christmas! "The Gift" by Garth Brooks definitely has a bird in it, but beyond that, offers more questions than answers. "Christmas is For the Birds" by Conway Twitty and, uh, "His Little Friends", has a decent amount of answers, and a decent amount of birds, but a distressingly low amount of Conway Twitty. The ranking music in this episode is "The Christmas Song" as performed by Big Bird and the Swedish Chef. Also, here's a link to an image of a masked lapwing.

The heads of PBS and NPR we called to the Hill yesterday to explain why taxpayers subsidize them by the billions while they continue to actively promote Democrat causes while display overt bias against conservatives. House members bring receipts and Tim Graham of NewsBusters joins Stigall to explain further. Plus, the most important conversations this week weren't about the stupid Signal app, it was hearings on government censorship led by Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt. Col. Kurt Schlichter says not to give an inch to Democrats on the Signal story. And the Secretary of Veterans Affairs - Doug Collins visits the show to explain how he's working hard to reform the VA to serve veterans more effectively and efficiently. -For more info visit the official website: https://chrisstigall.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/chrisstigallshow/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ChrisStigallFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/chris.stigall/Listen on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/StigallPodListen on Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/StigallShow-Global Coin, for exclusive listener offers go to https://www.shopglobalcoin.com/pages/stigall or call 1-888-560-3125.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Subscribe to The Best Idea Yet here: https://wondery.com/links/the-best-idea-yet/Once upon a time, American kids had a problem—OK, two. They were watching way, WAY too much TV and they were falling way, way behind in school. But then a trailblazing producer and her psychologist friend asked a bold question: What if we used the first problem to solve the second? The result: Sesame Street, home of Big Bird, Cookie Monster, Bert & Ernie, and a social-media superstar named Elmo. Since Sesame Street's debut in 1969—the same year as the moon landing!—the show's helped educate more than 150 million kids in 70 different languages while breaking racial barriers along the way. It's also taught us the meaning of friendship, the value of neighbors, and the joy of a good rubber ducky. And it was only possible thanks to audacious creators, educators, and one shaggy-looking puppeteer named James Maury Henson (but you can call him Jim). Learn about Kermit The Frog's commercial past, why the only bets worth making are contrarian ones, and why Sesame Street is the best idea yet.Subscribe to The Best Idea Yet for the untold origin stories of the products you're obsessed with — and the bold risk takers who made them go viral.Episodes drop every Tuesday, listen here: https://wondery.com/links/the-best-idea-yet/—-----------------------------------------------------GET ON THE POD: Submit a shoutout or fact: https://tboypod.com/shoutouts FOR MORE NICK & JACK: Newsletter: https://tboypod.com/newsletter Connect with Nick: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicolas-martell/ Connect with Jack: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jack-crivici-kramer/ SOCIALS:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tboypod TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@tboypodYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@tboypod Anything else: https://tboypod.com/ See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
