Before Kermit joined Miss Piggy and Big Bird, he was kicking it with Sam and Friends, a local TV show in D.C. We'll take a deep dive into the Muppets, Jim Henson, and the conservation labs at @amhistorymuseum. Listen on @ApplePodcasts: apple.co/342vBGy

Episode 86, should be in all of the podcatchers now! And this one is really exciting because it's a conversation about all things Muppets with @CraigShemin. Next week, we'll be diving back into Fraggle Rock by discussing 4 more episodes that we maybe, possibly didn't love.

Very nice words from TV Guide's Matt Roush --@TVGMMattRoush:
Attention #Muppet/#JimHenson fans: Amazing new book from Henson devotee/scholar @CraigShemin "Sam and Friends" details inspirational history of how Jim & Jane produced their first TV puppet show on local DC TV (1955-61). Includes, incredibly, an episode guide!
