Since 2017. Under The Puppet is a monthly show that is preserving puppetry through the personal stories of professional puppeteers. Guests include puppeteers from The Muppets, Sesame Street, The Jim Henson Company and more. The show also covers other forms of puppetry such as marionettes, shadow puppetry and Bunraku . Hosted by puppeteer Grant Baciocco (The Jim Henson Company, Mystery Science Theatre 3000).

episode 51: Tony Urbano (Flight of the Navigator, Short Circuit, Dusty's Treehouse)
http://www.UnderThePuppet.com - Tony Urbano is a puppeteer who was trained by and worked with master puppeteers such as Ralph Chessé and Bil and Cora Baird. Tony turned down a job offer from Jim Henson to focus on building his own career, a career that included hundreds of commercials and television and film work including Flight of the Navigator, Short Circuit, Men In Black, Team America and many, many more. It would be hard to cover his entire career and the impact he’s had on the art of puppetry in ten episodes but we get a good start here as Tony Urbano is my guest on this episode of Under the Puppet.
