Welcome to Jake's Happy Nostalgia Show, the podcast where nostalgia comes alive!

This week, we're thrilled to welcome the incredibly versatile puppeteer, puppet builder, and humanitarian worker Lisa Buckley! Lisa began her career bringing characters to life for television and film, including serving as an assistant puppeteer on the classic sitcom ALF. In the early 1990s, she joined the legendary Sesame Street team, where she helped perform a wide range of Muppets—most notably the beloved Betty Lou. Her work in children's television continued with work on Oobi, Blue's Room, Johnny and the Sprites, and the first season of Noodle and Doodle as Noodle McNoodle. She also puppeteered in the hit film Men in Black. In recent years, Lisa has dedicated her craft to humanitarian aid through her work with No Strings International, using puppetry to help educate and empower children and adults around the globe. Through films addressing WASH, malaria, HIV, menstrual hygiene, and more, she continues to inspire change and spark hope.
