We're back! 2025 is here! Our first guest of the year is Emily Engel. You may know her on the socials as Axepersonified. Emily is a fiber artist who makes wicked cool Muppet replicas.
Emily and I start things off by talking about, what else, Muppets and the replicas she creates. She talks about her history with the Muppet franchise (shows and movies), and how she got her start in making these replica figures. We talk about her process, and characters she will and will not do. Seriously, they are wonderful and you should bring one home to your house.
We then jump over from Muppets to True Crime. Emily talks about what got her interested in the world of True Crime and what keeps her coming back for more.
Then we go Back.... TO THE FUTURE! Yes, we're talking about the Back to the Future franchise. Emily talks about what attracted her to the movies, the characters, and cast, and what the franchise means to her.
