In December, Muppet fans got their first new Rizzo and Bean content in almost a decade. Now performed by Bradley Freeman Jr, both are back in the fold in both social media videos, and in the new Muppet Show special. Recently our friends at The Muppets Studio asked if we'd like to help them introduce Bradley to world, and of course we said yes! So we sat down over Zoom to discuss his audition, working with your heroes, and of course, 'Blinding Lights'.

It’s the season finale of A Prairie Dawn Companion, and Becca Petunia is wrapping up her look at the female Sesame Muppets of the 1970s. That’s right: it’s time to check back in on Betty Lou and Prairie Dawn in their late 70s book appearances. But also: What classic Sesame Street song is technically a feminist anthem? What can we expect to hear in Season 2 of this show? And wait a minute, shouldn’t we have talked about Winnie Wiggins???

As everyone knows, Rodeo Rosie is really a rose. But does anyone really know Rodeo Rosie? And is she even worth knowing at all? This week on A Prairie Dawn Companion, Becca and her special guest, composer and writer Rachel Garrett Steele, are saddling up to figure out if Rodeo Rosie is...good. What does she say about culture's fascination with the American West and law and order? What can she do that no other Muppet can? And where can Becca buy a leather jacket like the one she wore in 1992? PLUS: an extremely special surprise from Rachel to close out the episode...
