In a Manner of SpeakingEpisode 85 (The World of Puppets)Spencer Lott
Paul’s February 2025 podcast episode is his first to tackle the speech of inanimate objects, specifically puppets. But as you will see from this month’s guest, accomplished Sesame Street puppeteer Spencer Lott, they can be just as animated as any human.
Spencer and Paul discuss puppetry and specifically the art of voicing the characters. They also dive briefly into the psychology of the craft, plus that of the related artform of ventriloquism.
Spencer Lott started performing with Sesame Street in 2014. Some highlights include playing the letter K, a rockstar rock, and a head...2025-02-0147 min

Gobbledygeek494 - Geek Challenge: Alice vs. LabyrinthYou remind me of the pod…the pod with the geeks. Paul and Arlo fall down the rabbit hole of another Geek Challenge, this time pitting Jim Henson’s 1986 cult classic Labyrinth against Jan Švankmajer’s 1988 headtrip Alice. Henson’s film finds Jennifer Connelly dancing with David Bowie and a variety of Muppets as she attempts to rescue her baby brother, while Švankmajer’s finds Kristýna Kohoutová assailed by a variety of bizarre stop-motion creations and a taxidermied rabbit. It should be obvious who picked which movie. Topics of discussion include codpieces, sellouts, practical effects, and weird sex, among others.2023-03-152h 15The Late Night SocialSilly Bandz & Skittles | Money App EtiquetteJoin us for our first episode of "The Late Night Social".

SageTalkEpisode 16: Jesus, Prince of PeaceOne of the healthy longings in a human being is to know inner peace. And one of the descriptions of Jesus is The Prince of Peace. But to KNOW the peace of God, we need to BE at peace with God and others. Being at peace with God and others is key to experiencing Jesus as the PERSON of peace. In today's episode of SageTalk, Al and Paul engage in a discussion on what of the most life-giving gifts Jesus offers to people from all walks of life, the gift of peace. Isaiah 9:6 Romans...2020-01-2127 minSageTalkEpisode 15: Jesus, EmmanuelWords matter because words have meaning. When the "Word became flesh and dwelt among us," we can take time to remember that the Son of God has many names. Jesus. Messiah. Alpha and Omega. One of the names we often think about is the name, Emmanuel, which means, "God with us." What might God be telling us in this name? It's like God is saying, “I want to be with you.” Isn't it true we spend time with people we love? We were also created for love-relationship with God. Today, Al and Paul return to the metaphor...2020-01-1426 minSageTalkEpisode 14: Al's Story: A Mother's PrayerThis is the deeply personal story of Al Henson’s life and ministry, from a mother’s prayer of dedication after hearing Billy Graham, to a young man yielding to God’s call, to a father walking the aisle and saying, “Son, I want to come back to Jesus.” This is the story of the beginning of Al’s 45 years in ministry.2020-01-0726 minSageTalkEpisode 13: Living a Life of SignificanceToday's episode deals with the classic contrast between success and significance. While many pursue worldly success in order to feel significant, we consider how significance is rooted in valuing what God values most, people. While Christ's eternal act on the cross demonstrates how you are already significant, Al and Paul enter into a discussion on how Living a Life of Significance is both possible and soul-satisfying. Ephesians 5:15-16, Psalms 90:122019-12-2627 minSageTalkEpisode 12: Christmas and the Least of TheseJesus spoke about the Christian's call to the "least of these" in Matthew 25. Over time, Al and Paul have grown to understand the “least of these” are not only the poor and weak, but anyone in need. As Al and Paul have ministered to those in need, they've experienced great joy, seen hearts changed, and have experienced in the manifest presence of God. In today's episode, we are inspired to step out of our comfort zones and experience Jesus as we join Him in loving and ministering to the broken all around us and around the world. Ma...2019-12-1729 minSageTalkEpisode 10: Knowing God Part One: "I Want to Know Him"Loving God begins with knowing God. This was the Apostle Paul’s “purpose” statement: “I want to know Him,” but it is not a head knowledge, it’s a HEART knowledge. To know him so intimately from the power of His resurrection to the sharing of His suffering…Philippians 3:102019-12-0326 minSageTalkEpisode 9: Brokenness #3: At the End of Self...is JesusThis podcast looks at the four stages of brokenness in the Apostle Paul’s life: 1) As Saul prior to Damascus, where he knew scriptures, but didn’t know God. 2) At Damascus, where he received some revelation. 3) Romans 7 :24-25 when he cries, “Wretched Man that I am”. And 4) In Galatians 2:20 when Paul says, “I am crucified with Christ, but nevertheless I live.” In brokenness he found life.Galatians 2:202019-11-2627 minSageTalkEpisode 5: Praying for the Persecuted ChurchSageTalk pauses to consider and pray for believers around the world who are being persecuted for their faith. Al and Paul share numerous stories of friends and co-laborers around the world who have been denied access to property and education, who have been beaten, even martyred for their faith. When one suffers, the body of Christ suffers.Hebrews 13:32019-10-2935 min
SageTalkEpisode 2: Transformation: Conforming to the Image of JesusWe long for greater degrees of experiencing spiritual transformation, but we are often anxious when we don’t see more. Al and Paul discuss God’s desire for us to be conformed to the image of His Son, and how God has graciously given His provision which makes this possible. Romans 8:28-292019-09-2627 min
