ABOUT OUR HOSTS:
Gene Barretta & Bill Barretta
âWhat are they up to now?â That was the popular question around their house and neighborhood while growing up. It was not unusual to see Gene and Bill dressed up in homemade costumes â filming Super 8mm dramas â attempting risky stunts in the ravine â animating GI Joes and weird-looking clay figures â building and performing clunky puppets â drawing offbeat comics, - and imitating The Beatles.
Today, life isnât very different. In addition to personal projects and various acting roles, Bill has been a director, writer, producer and core performer with The Muppets for nearly 30 years. Gene is an award-winning author and illustrator of childrenâs books. He has also animated and illustrated for Sesame Street, Between the Lions, and The Jim Henson Company.
The best part of their careers is that they occasionally get to work together! Unfortunately, no one will pay them to imitate The Beatles.
