Let's kick off 2026 in a big way with our first guest of the year Rita Peruggi!

In 1981, Rita Peruggi was hired by The Jim Henson Company as a production assistant on various projects including Rocky Mountain Holiday with John Denver and The Muppets. She then moved on to the role of producer for the company working on many projects such as the Jim Henson Play along Videos, Muppet Vision 3D, Dinosaurs, Dark Crystal Age of Resistance, Earth To Ned and Fraggle Rock Back To The Rock. Outside of the The Jim Henson Company, Rita has served as Producer on Jack’s Big Music Show and Yo Gabba Gabba! and the updated Yo Gabba GabbaLand!. I talk Rita Peruggi about all of these projects and more on this episode of Under The Puppet.

NEW EPISODE! Available where your get your podcasts! Louise Gold is puppetry royalty. A trained theatre performer, Louise began her puppetry career working on the second season of The Muppet Show, where she played many characters — including the role of Annie Sue, much to Miss Piggy’s dismay. In addition to continuing her work with The Muppets, she went on to perform in The Dark Crystal, Sesame Street, and the Sesame Street spin-off The Furchester Hotel, where she played the hotel’s proprietor, Funella Furchester. She’s also performed on Spitting Image, The Ghost of Faffner Hall, Dodge’s Pup School, and many, many more puppetry projects. I talk to Louise Gold about her incredible career on this episode of Under The Puppet.
