What happens when you cross Leonard Nimoy's "In Search of..." with Jim Henson's Muppets and add the humor of "Family Guy"? Well you most likely get sued since 2 of those things are now owned by Disney, but after that you get "Creepy Acres"! A humorous web series that follows a small band of cryptids as they desperately search for a rumored sanctuary for creatures of myth and legend, a place know as Creepy Acres. It is a show that attempts to have fun with the subject of cryptids and cryptozoology without making fun of cryptozoology or Cryptozoologists. And yes, while it features an all puppet cast it most definitely IS NOT for kids; however, it is perfect for immature adults!
This month we talk with Mark Beall about Jim Henson's Muppets. In part one we get into The Muppets' cultural relevance, the deaths of Jim Henson and Richard Hunt, The Muppet Christmas Carol, Meeting Gonzo The Great and more.

Music for every episode is also written, performed and recorded by Dan Ellis.
It's time to play the music, it's time to light the lights! It's time to meet the Muppets on Volume 1 of our Muppets Series tonight! Please enjoy this first installment of what we hope to make a multi-volume tribute to the bears and dogs and chickens and things we know and love as Jim Henson's Muppets. Now owned by Disney and with an increasing presence in WDW, we are happy we can use this podcast as an outlet to share our Muppet love with all of you! In this episode, Laura gives a history of Jim Henson's career and creation of the Muppets and recounts their eventual acquisition by Disney. Alison describes some WDW attractions in which you can currently find the Muppets, as well as some shows from the past and even some things from the "never-was". *Please be advised this episode contains heavy Muppet impressions which may not be pleasing to people with ears. twitter/snapchat: @disphilharpod instagram/facebook: @disneyphilharpodcast
CT recently had the opportunity to review Make Art Make Money: Lessons from Jim Henson on Fueling Your Creative Career by Elizabeth Hyde Stevens. As a creative type and a fan of Jim Henson's Muppets, the book spoke volumes to him and he had to take the chance to speak with Liz a bit more about this creation. This book is available on Kindle Serial and is highly recommended to anyone with creative passions, fans of Jim Henson, and especially anyone fitting both criteria. The book goes through ten lessons and gives great depth and insight into the mind of Henson and how he was able to live his life of pursuing art and make money at the same time. This discussion with Stevens for this extra helping goes into depth about the book, how she came to decide to write it, and how it can help you.
Jim Henson's Muppets, including the beloved Kermit the Frog, first came to life in the mid-1950s.
