Fraggle Rock Holiday Magic with Gobo Fraggle & John Tartaglia

Kyle Meredith dives into the world of Fraggle Rock with both the eternal explorer and the man who brings him to life. First up, Gobo Fraggle stops by to talk about the new holiday special "The First Snow of Fraggle Rock," breaking down his very first real snowfall, the panic of hitting “rock block,” and the unexpected outer-space songwriting session with Lele Pons that helped him find the season’s big song. Gobo also chats about his musical heroes, holiday traditions shared between Fraggles and silly creatures, and what it’s like braving the bright, noisy surface world. Then Kyle talks with John Tartaglia — showrunner, puppeteer, and the voice behind Gobo — about taking on a character with decades of mythology, pulling inspiration from classic specials like "The Bells of Fraggle Rock," and weaving in new characters and subtle callbacks for longtime fans. John gets into the surreal moment of meeting Gobo on camera, the influence of original performer Jerry Nelson, and why Gobo’s stubborn optimism makes him braver than he is in real life. It’s a two-part trip through Fraggle lore, holiday spirit, and childhood-dream territory.Listen to Gobo Fraggle and John Tartaglia chat about all this and more or watch Gobo and John on YouTube. Please take the time to like, review, and subscribe to KMW wherever you get your podcasts, and keep up to date with all our series by following the Consequence Podcast Network.Our Sponsors:* Check out BetterHelp: https://betterhelp.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
