We ask him about how he became one of the original cast members and what it was like working with Bird Bird and Oscar the Grouch. We also talk about the effects of stress on children, an awesome retro tote bag, and dressing up like characters from the Wizard of Oz. Just click “Play” to listen to the show…

Shout Outs: Thanks to Bob McGrath for the interview and Joanna and Chris for the feedback!
Aww, I was raised on Sesame Street! I’d say that one of my favorite characters was Snufalufagus – he always seemed like he’d give a great hug, and was a great friend to Big Bird :-)
Snuffy was a great and underrated side character. Another one of mine was Guy Smiley!
