Podcasts about The Muppets

This week, Nick and Les are bringing you a double feature that spans from the softest felt to the roughest wasteland. We are diving deep into the silly, joyful world of The Muppet Show special featuring Sabrina Carpenter! If you ever wondered if Sabrina's pop energy would mesh with a bunch of puppets, the answer is a resounding yes. We share our favorite sketches and why this felt like such a warm hug for long-time fans and newcomers alike. Then, is it curtains for Lucy? We wrap up our thoughts on the Fallout season finale! We had high hopes for this journey through the Vaults, and the finale mostly delivered. We discuss what we wanted, what we got, and where we think it's going in season 3. Plus, we open up our TV Diaries to discuss a few standout watches from our personal week!  Join us for a conversation that's all about finding the heart in every story, whether it's told by a frog or a ghoul. #Fallout #TheMuppets #TheMuppetShow #ThePitt

With little optimism about the outcome of the latest peace talks, Ukraine says it will focus on military matters. Its team said it's trying to get a sense of what Moscow and Washington were "really ready for." Also: dozens are feared to have been killed by gunmen in central Nigeria. Walmart becomes the first "traditional firm" to become worth more than one trillion dollars. Water shortages worsen in parts of South Africa, with people fearing the prospect of "day zero." Iran allows female motorcyclists to obtain licences. Two former South Sudanese refugees walk the length of Britain to draw attention to the conflict in their home country. And the Muppet show celebrates its 50th anniversary with a new special episode. The Global News Podcast brings you the breaking news you need to hear, as it happens.

The Muppet Show returns with a one-off episode starring Sabrina Carpenter; Muppetry expert Adam Grosswirth returns to discuss it, including whether the new version nailed the original's vibe, what makes a good Muppet guest (and whether Sabrina's got the right stuff), and how we can't believe Dolly Parton never guested on the show (...so far). Later, we went Around The Dial with The Pete Davidson Show, Ugliest House In America, and Conspiracy Theories, and Adam hoped nobody would object to his first-season L.A. Law Canon brief. Impractical Jokers won, Grant Show lost, and we dropped Muppets into primetime shows for a mash-up Game Time. It's time to get things started on an all-new Extra Hot Great!GUESTS

This week, Alex, Jason, and Kyle discuss the Muppets, their legacy and impact, what iterations of the Muppets have worked and why, and of course, how they'd like to see the Muppets used in the future.

We go inside the real succession story within the Murdoch family media empire. It includes Fox News, The Wall Street Journal and the New York Post. In 2023 Rupert Murdoch chose his eldest son and most conservative child, Lachlan, as his successor – buying out three of his other children from the family trust and estranging them in the process. “His dream was to build a family business. And what he built was a business that destroyed his family,” journalist Gabriel Sherman says. His book, ‘Bonfire of the Murdochs,' also examines how the Murdochs changed politics on three continents over half a century. He spoke with guest interviewer Sam Fragoso. Later, TV critic David Bianculli reviews the return of ‘The Muppets.' Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

We're back! INTC's third season starts… now! Are we celebrating by going full nerd with this one? Does Alex Palou wear Labubu pajamas? Did Sam have a dream last week where Ross and Jeff heckled him from the audience like Statler and Waldorf from The Muppets?(The answers, respectively: yes; definitely yes; and dear lord, it was deeply weird but also oddly delightful, yes.)You asked for it: This is an episode about books!

We kick off FOLLOW UP by checking in on Elon Musk's personal dumpster fire, where the EU is investigating Grok for deepfake slop while Tesla's “unsupervised” robotaxis turned out to be supervised by literal chase cars — shocker. At least some of you are getting Siri settlement crumbs in your bank accounts, though you could probably double it betting against Musk's worthless promises on Polymarket.Transitioning to IN THE NEWS, Tesla is killing off the Model S and X to build robots while sales crater, proving that mixing hard-right politics with EV sales is a brilliant move for the balance sheet. Meanwhile, the corporate bloodbath continues with massive layoffs at Ubisoft, Vimeo (courtesy of the Bending Spoons buzzsaw), and Amazon, because “removing bureaucracy” is apparently HR-speak for 16,000 families losing their livelihoods. If that's not enough, Google is settling yet another privacy suit for $135 million, the EU is threatening to weaponize its tech sovereignty against the US, and the Trump administration wants Gemini to write federal regulations—because if there's one thing we want drafting airline safety rules, it's a hallucinating chatbot.Still IN THE NEWS, Waymo is under federal investigation for passing school buses and hitting children, while South Korea's new AI laws manage to please absolutely no one. Record labels are suing Anna's Archive for a cool $13 trillion—roughly three times the GDP of India—and the Winklevoss twins have finally admitted that NFTs are dead by shuttering Nifty Gateway.We pivot to MEDIA CANDY, where the Patriots and Seahawks are heading to Super Bowl 60, and the Winter Olympics are descending on Milan. We're doing the math on the Starfleet Academy timeline, celebrating the return of Ted Lasso and Shrinking, and trying to decide if Henry Cavill is the second coming of Timothy Dalton in the Highlander reboot. Plus, Jessica Jones is back in the Daredevil: Born Again trailer, and Colin Farrell's Sugar is returning to explain that wild noir twist we all totally saw coming.In APPS & DOODADS, the TikTok Armageddon is upon us as the new US owners break the app and drive everyone to UpScrolled, while Native Instruments enters insolvency, leaving our music-making dreams in restructuring limbo. Apple is dropping AirTag 2 with precision finding for your watch, which is great for finding the keys you lost while doom-scrolling.We wrap up with THE DARK SIDE WITH DAVE, featuring the new Muppets trailer and Steve Whitmire's deep thoughts on the state of the felt, plus a look at the artisans in Disneyland Handcrafted. Finally, Looney Tunes finds a new home on Turner Classic Movies, proving that the classics never die—they just move to a cable channel your parents actually watch. Dave finally learns about the Insta360 camera, a countertop dishwasher but no Animal Crackers, and a guide to gas masks and googles... for no particular reason.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use promo code GOG at checkout.SquareSpace - go to squarespace.com/GRUMPY for a free trial.

The fellas chat about the new direction of TikTok, make Super Bowl predictions and Aaron formally accepts the Dodgers being the new Evil Empire. Rohit roasts UK, as does 4chan, and wait til you see his reaction to the Muppets. 

Not many of us need convincing that Sesame Street is good; the Muppets have been chaotic TV icons for more than 50 years. But what not many people know is just how much good it did.Not just unmissable TV, but a revolutionary, massive-scale outreach program. One that used ad-land tactics and groundbreaking psychological research, to reset the balance of educational privilege – and teach disadvantaged, inner-city kids how to read. It's a sunny day. We're sweeping the clouds away.

JOIN US AS SHEILA, STEVE, AND RIC unpack the wild, wonderful, and slightly unhinged February 2026 lineup in Disney+: Take 4—a month that somehow blends aliens, Imagineers, Muppets, armored dinosaurs, spies, sorority moms, preschool superheroes, true crime, and full-blown Hannah Montana nostalgia into one streaming schedule. From the return of The Muppet Show and the behind-the-scenes magic of We Call It Imagineering, to globe-spanning docuseries, animated chaos, and headline-making originals like Armorsaurs and Miraculous World: Tokyo Stellar Force, we sort through what's essential, what's intriguing, and what's pure "I can't believe Disney greenlit this." With a playful, Valentine's-week twist, the episode delivers laughs, honest reactions, and sharp takes on a month that feels less like a content drop and more like a streaming avalanche. It's fun, fast-moving, and full of heart—but we're definitely missing Bill and Patrick, who skipped this episode and left us holding the conversation like a one-sided love letter. Consider this your February watchlist with charm, chaos, and just enough romance to match the season.

Here we are! We've hit the 500th and final episode of The Hamilcast (at least for now). Please excuse the shameless reference, but I am honored and thrilled that in this episode, Lin-Manuel Miranda really and sincerely teaches me how to say goodbye.  And honestly, we have a blast! This episode is beyond packed! We talk about how much we love Renee Elise Goldsberry (including Co-Op and Girls5Eva), the Dawson's Creek reunion, we cast movies (and Hamilton!) with The Muppets, you'll learn about Lin's very specific favorite parts of Hamilton including references that were cut almost immediately and the things that really are just coincidences because in a show with layers on layers on layers, some things really are just happy accidents. Lin also talks about The Hamilton Mixtape, that time Steven Sondheim visited his high school and shared a bunch of West Side Story secrets with the class, and there are at least TWO deep dives: one is Lin's writing process with Warriors: The Concept Album and working on bringing it to the stage, and the other is about professional wrestling AND WHEN I TELL YOU I WAS ON THE EDGE OF MY SEAT. I'm not even kidding; it is fascinating and so much fun.  And speaking of fun... I mean it 100% when I say I've had the time of my life making this podcast for you. The Hamilcast has changed my life, full stop. It's been a decade of stories and memories and friendships and "skitch, how did we get here?" moments. Each and every one of you have really made me feel like the richest girl in town, especially as we've been celebrating the end of the show and the journey we've all been on together. I also mean it when I say that there is always a possibility the show will drop more episodes in the future (Mariska, call me!), so you never know what the future may hold. The Hamilcast website is staying up, the episodes will live online forever, and @TheHamilcast will continue to be active on socials. You can find me online @GillianWithaG and I'll still be recapping true crime documentaries with Patrick over at True Crime Obsessed. Mike - you know Mike! - is @MPSmithNYC on everything.  These last eight episodes with The Cabinet were recorded at WTF Studios in Manhattan in October and November of 2025. They were produced by Natalie Grillo from Any Moment Productions, in collaboration with Meghan Miles. These two incredible women are invaluable and I am so grateful for them both.  Thank you to everyone who took the time to come on this show and generously share your stories with me, sometimes more than once. I am so lucky to call so many of you my friends. And to the listeners, to quote Tommy Kail when he first came on in 2018: I made this show for you. Thank you for being excited about things with me. It has been a true honor to do this for ten years and 500 episodes and I could not have done it without you. My dearest, Patreon Peeps: you are one in a million and are definitively the kindest, warmest, and most welcoming corner of the internet. With my unending gratitude… I am G.Pen.  xoxoxo /// Warriors: The Concept Album Lin-Manuel Miranda: The Education of an Artist by Daniel Pollack-Pelzner Daniel Pollack-Pelzner on The Hamilcast /// #88: Lin-Manuel Miranda // Part One (2017) #89: Lin-Manuel Miranda // Part Two (2017) #90: Lin-Manuel Miranda // Part Three (2017) #91: Lin-Manuel Miranda // Part Four // The B-Sides (2017) #92: Lin-Manuel Miranda // Part Five // The B-Sides (2017) #225: Lin-Manuel Miranda Returns! // Part One (2020) #226: Lin-Manuel Miranda Returns! // Part Two (2020) /// Gillian's Website The Hamilcast on TikTok The Hamilcast on Instagram Join the Patreon Peeps
