In this episode, we look at a creative revolution led by Jim Henson. Best known as the creator of The Muppets, Henson transformed puppetry, television, and storytelling by blending imagination, technology, and deep humanity. His creative journey began in Maryland, where his early experiences helped shape a vision that would influence generations.

Our guest is Karen Falk, Archives Director and historian for The Jim Henson Company and Vice President of The Jim Henson Legacy. Since 1992, she has preserved and interpreted Henson’s life and work. Karen is the author of Imagination Illustrated: The Jim Henson Journal, a curator of major exhibitions including Jim Henson’s Fantastic World, and a key collaborator with institutions such as the Center for Puppetry Arts and the Museum of the Moving Image.
