Listen Later

Join us for a heartwarming conversation with "Mrs. Big Bird" herself, Debra Spinney, the wife of the late Caroll Spinney, original Muppet performer of Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch on Sesame Street. Debra offers a unique perspective on the world of puppetry, having worked closely with Caroll on iconic projects such as Big Bird in China and Follow That Bird. Beyond the Muppet world, Debra shares stories about their travels, Caroll's artistic side, Debra's collection of Caroll's work and so much more in this wholesome chat. This episode is a heartfelt tribute to Caroll's legacy and a celebration of his nearly 50-year run with the Muppets.

Special thanks to our guest co-hosts DJ Bob and Tarah for joining us!
