The excellent Meet Your Maker podcast meet Sesame Street writer Ed Valentine (top right).
Host Liam Geraghty writes:
I met with kids TV writer Ed Valentine to chat about how he got to Sesame Street, the challenges of writing for Muppets and where he keeps his THREE Emmys!
As Ed sez on the podcast:
“The Street is, in its own way, a very real place. It was the first integrated neighborhood I lived in. The inter-play of humans and Muppets thought me more than the reading and writing.”
