Welcome to the York Story Slam podcast, where we feature select stories from our monthly open mic storytelling events in York, Pennsylvania. On June 21, eight storytellers shared their stories with our audience for our virtual slam. The theme for our June story slam was FATHER KNOWS BEST. We heard stories about lessons learned, thoughtful kindness bestowed, and generational differences. In the end, our winner was first-time storyteller Ryan Roe, with his story about playing in the elementary school band with his dad. Ryan earned a spot in our Grand Slam in November. Next up we have Tony Crocamo, with the story of the first time he shaved. Our final story on this month's podcast comes another first-time storyteller, Emily Golihew, who shared her story of her relationship with her father. All the winners from this year's open mic story slam events will return in November to compete for the title of Best Storyteller in York. Updates on our upcoming events and tickets for purchase are available on our website, YorkStorySlam.com, and while you're there, you can sign up for our monthly newsletter.

This Friday, Disney+ will release all five seasons of The Muppet Show in the U.S. Since it premiered in fall 1976, the entire run of producer/puppeteer Jim Henson's crowning achievement has never been widely available in any format. (Disney has not yet confirmed if the streaming release includes all 120 episodes as originally aired, without any songs or segments cut.) It's a comedy variety show over four decades old - so what's the big deal? Guest host Josh Shepherd speaks with two team members at top Muppets fan site ToughPigs.com: editor Ryan Roe coming from New York City, and contributor Anthony Strand in St. Paul, Minnesota. Together, they discuss pressing questions regarding the streaming release of The Muppet Show, such as: What is one episode of The Muppet Show that made you laugh as never before? Should folks skip season one at first? Or even skip around to whoever is a favorite guest star? Who are some of the biggest guest stars not to miss? (Spoiler: Johnny Cash, Pearl Bailey, just about all of them) For parents of young kids, are there certain edgier episodes that they may want to preview? Why should Disney+ subscribers give The Muppet Show a chance? Be sure to check out in-depth Muppets articles and podcasts available at ToughPigs.com, including a review of every single episode of The Muppet Show. Their current podcast Movin' Right Along is available everywhere you get podcasts. Are you excited about Disney+ releasing The Muppet Show? Leave a comment below and join the dialogue.

For today's episode, in our ongoing series of reviewing every film in the Star Trek and Muppets film franchises, we review The Muppets Take Manhattan! To help us take on this monumental task we have Ryan Roe and Joe Hennes, co-owners of ToughPigs.com; the website for Muppet fans who grew up! These two are huge experts in everything Muppets, and you can find more about them and their site, and every thing Muppets, at ToughPigs.com, or follow them on Facebook. In both places you'll find posts daily of Muppet news, tidbits of trivia, and even exclusive interviews with the cast and crew of different Muppet productions! Be sure to check them out.
