247: Talk to the Hand with Puppeteer Mike Quinn

Puppeteer / Muppeteer Mike Quinn joins us for an exciting discussion about Nien Nunb, his puppet alter ego in Return of the Jedi, The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi! He also talks about his Muppet adventures, working on The Dark Crystal and... The Tale of the Bunny Picnic! Mike is also promoting his upcoming autobiography, Talk To the Hand: My Incredible Magical Puppeteer Journey To The Stars! (Now that's our kind of title!) You will really be inspired by our conversation when you hear about the "Mike Quinn Motor" which has been fast-tracking his career since he was a teenager.
