Henson History

Welcome to the kick-off of a "Summer of Muppets" here on the Pixie Dust Twins Podcast! Today, Sammi and Ashley discuss the story of the Man (and Woman) behind the Muppets. Where did the Muppets originate, and when was the first appearance of Kermit? Also, which Muppet achieved national stardom first (hint: it's not our frog friend!)? Plus, what exactly is a "creature" and how is different from a traditional Muppet? They also discuss Jim Henson's final project, which has a major tie-in to Walt Disney World...can you guess what it might be? Check out today's episode for all the fun Henson History, and then head over to Instagram @pixiedusttwinspodcast for even more Muppet Madness!
