Hee-hee, yay! I'm glad I'm not the only e-web non-conformist around here, ha ha.

Ryan, your site is fantastic btw, and how cool is it that you regularly chat with puppet pros? Good for you man!

My method of knowing if there's a new post on The Muppet Mindset, when I don't see updates announced, is checking the website every day, at least a few times until I see a new article. After all, the website pretty much posts a new article every day, though in the past few months it seems it has been more common than before to skip days.

I get the updates via facebook/twitter. They both serve as excellent reminders.

Weekly Muppet Wednesdays: Dr. Phil Van Neuter

Ironically, I had thought that the eggnog sketch took place at a new years party, which was one of the reasons I wanted to do a Dr. Phil van Neuter article the week of New Years (no, it's not the only reason, and I had wanted to write one on the character for awhile). But then as I was fact-checking at Muppet Wiki I saw that it was actually a Christmas party.

Muppet Maestros: Shel Silverstein

It seems there was an editing error (I checked the e-mail I sent to see if I accidently deleted something but it was there). I had written "His stories, which include "Taylor the Turkey Who Loved Thanksgiving" and "Percy, the Pork-Loving Pig", are more ironic than scary", but the article cuts the part about them being more ironic than scary, making the sentence incomplete. If you needed to edit it to make it shorter you could have cut the "which" part of that sentence, where it would read "His stories include Taylor, the Turkey Who Loved Thanksgiving and Percy, the Pork-Loving Pig".

why?

This is just so sad... (I'm crying right now)
I loved this podcast and I aslo loved hearing you on the podcast every so often.
Now we can't hear the golden tunes of Steve Swanson anymore.
This is a very sad day in Muppet history
