Famous people! Do they like Muppets? If so, do they like them as much as we do? Let’s find out!
We are extremely excited to announce our latest venture into the world of podcasting: 15 Seconds to Curtain! This is the podcast where we talk to notable people about (what else?) the Muppets!
Over the next two months, we’ll be bringing you weekly interviews with famous folks from the worlds of literature, film, pro wrestling, comedy, Broadway, and more. In some cases, we’ll be talking about the work they’ve done in the world of the Muppets, and in all of them we’ll be talking about what form their Muppet fandom takes today.
Our first episode is already live on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and anywhere else you normally listen to people talking through your headphones. (You can also listen directly from right here at ToughPigs.com) Future episodes will drop every Tuesday morning.
That first episode? It’s none other than New York Times bestselling author Brad Meltzer, author of the fantastic storybook “I Am Jim Henson”! Be sure to listen to hear all about how Jim Henson inspired his career and how he’s passing Jim’s life lessons along to his kids. Also if he ever gets mistaken for Dr. Bunsen Honeydew.

This project has been in the makings for a long time now. I want to thank our frenemy Jarrod Fairclough from the Muppet Mindset for his editing skills, Dave Hulteen for designing the logo seen at the top of this page, Jay Fosgitt for designing the podcast monster you’ll be seeing at the top of every new episode article, Staci Rosen for providing our theme music, and to Ryan Roe and Anthony Strand for all their lead-up through two seasons of the Movin’ Right Along podcast as well as providing some hilarious credits sequences.
Thanks in advance for listening and subscribing! We hope you enjoy this season of 15 Seconds to Curtain!
