Ever wonder what it's like to sit in a room with some Muppet Performers and hear them talk all about puppetry and Muppets? Well, that's what Season 3 of Below the Frame with Matt Vogel is all about, and on this episode, we're talking with Martin P. Robinson (Mr. Snuffleupagus) and Noel MacNeal (Bear in the Big Blue House) along with Matt (Big Bird) about "Puppets That You Wear". We go pretty in-depth about this topic from the history of how we were cast in our roles to what it's like being inside these puppets that you wear -- and a LOT more. So much more, in fact, that we're spreading it out over three parts! This is part 1 all about the famous puppets we inhabit. So, grab a seat and join us as we go...Below the Frame!

Generation X came of age at the tail end of the Cold War and it was reflected in nearly everything we did and saw from our movies to our music, our television to our classrooms. Gen Xers also saw the birth of MTV and cable and so much more! But why read this description when you could hear all about it on this episode of SOLVE FOR GEN X?

Send us a text On this episode of Solve for Gen X, join Nate Starkey (Gen X 1971), Ashley Ward (Gen X 1972), and Matt Vogel (Gen X 1970) as they continue to talk about “Low-Tech Fun”. Back when we were kids we did fun things like play with Barbie, ride bikes, write plays, and read books — without a tablet or game console in sight (mostly). What will other generations remember about their low-tech fun? We’ll ask two Gen Z kids (two of Matt’s sons) all about what they did other than video games when they were growing up.
