This week on The Children’s Hour, we explore Puppets with a tribute to one of the master puppeteers on Sesame Street, The Muppets, Star Wars and more, Jim Henson, the Kids Crew talk with his daughter Cheryl Henson, and we’re all treated to a one of a kind performance by the captivating Loren Kahn Puppet Theater.

Featuring great music by Jim Henson as Ernie, Kermit the Frog and Fozzie Bear, Bob and the Anything Muppets, The Muppets, The Pop Ups, Andrew Bird, Sesame Street, and String Planet.

Join us for an hour which will inspire aspiring puppeteers of all ages!

Katie Stone and Cheryl Henson
