This week Eric Wright, puppeteer and co-founder of The Puppet Kitchen joins Courtney and Jay to talk about all things puppetry and Meeting Monster, the coolest thing you never knew you needed for your next zoom call . We talk about what got Eric into puppetry and how the O'Neill National Puppetry Conference changed his life. Courtney shares a tidbit about the time she saw a ventriloquist on a cruise ship, and Jay nerds out talking about Dungeons and Dragons. We talk with Eric about living his dreams as a puppeteer in the cast of Little Shop of Horrors Off-Broadway and his dream as a puppet designer would be working with Disney to bring Fantasia to Broadway. 
We learn all about the different kinds of puppets from finger puppets to toy theater and Courtney has a moment where she fan girls over Snuffleupagus. Yeah, we know. We talk about puppets in daily life and how they aren't just for kids. Courtney needs to know if the puppets are for adults or "for adults" and we talk about Baby Yoda and Howdy Doody. As always check out our extended show notes at coiesquestions.com/puppetry and stay tuned to our instagram for a giveaway brought to you by The Puppet Kitchen.
