Hi everyone,

Anybody else notice that the number of puppeteers doing video podcasts
lately has been exploding? Every Wednesday I do a weekly "round up" of new
episodes of puppet podcasts in my blog at
http://puppetvision.blogspot.comand this week especially I was
impressed by not just the number of podcasts,
but the variety of subject matter and the way that puppetry is being used to
all different kinds of ends including political satire (The Rag Show),
Jewish education (The Itche Kadoozy Show), Scouting information (Buttons The
Radical Boy Scout), mock horror (Gloomy Roomies). Even Sesame Street has a
podcast now.

And those are just the shows that put out new episodes this week! I keep a
list of the regularly-updating puppet podcasts in the right hand column of
my blog at http://puppetvision.blogspot.com. For this week's summary of all
the latest episodes of puppet video podcasts go to
http://puppetvision.blogspot.com/2007/11/weekly-puppet-web-series-round-up_14.html

While the quality of the puppetry in many of these shows is hit and miss and
the style is mostly Muppet-inspired hand and rod puppetry, I think it's very
exciting to see so many people using puppetry to so many different ends by
so many different people.
