Hey guys, welcome to episode 39 of the JV club with the marvelous Janie Hadad

Tompkins. Again, guys, it's somebody that I've been talking to about doing the

podcast forever. We are buddies. We adore each other and

We were finally able to make our schedules a line. I am overjoyed

Janie was somebody that many of you wrote to me and said would love to have Janie as a guest on your podcast so

Listen we made it happen we aim to please

Speaking of aim to please I'm very excited because the first episode of Neil's Puppet Dreams, which is the project I co-created, co-wrote, co-produced with Neil Patrick Harris, David Berka, The Henson Company,

Nertist, and Michael Serrato and Brian Clark

came out today.

Today is Tuesday, the 27th and the first episode called The Lullaby is out.

You can go to the Nurdest YouTube channel, the Nurdest YouTube channel, I encourage you strongly to subscribe and check

it out.

And then there's also a great behind the scenes sort of trailer floating around that I really love and I'm proud of and you can kind of get a

sense of all the different people who worked on the project so please check that

out it's been such an amazing fun labor of love and it really is very much a

dream come true you know when we were shooting it at the

Henson Studios at one point when, actually with this particular episode, I wrote the song,

I wrote that lullaby and when the puppeteers were all you know lip-sinking it and

we were we were shooting the footage I got really emotional and I had to leave for

a second because I was I was so excited and moved that I had anything to do with

the Henson company puppeteers, you know, making words come out of their mouths.

So that was awesome.
