Emmet Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas

Grab your wash tub bass as we head to Frogtown Hollow in the 1970s and visit an impoverished otter family who find hope amidst hardship in the charming Jim Henson Christmas special “Emmet Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas.” 

Your pop culture Christmas elves, Eric Grigs and Mike Jones, make the case for this TV special as the perfect cure for your holiday anxieties and also explore the technical genius behind the puppetry which helped to usher in the decades of Muppet cinema that would follow.

Some say our world is getting too small, we say with kindness and some singing otters, there’s room for us all in this latest episode of the Pop Trash Podcast’s series “We Wish You a Campy Christmas.”
