Can You Make a Puppet Out of Ice?

We pull their strings and stick them on our hands, but puppets are so much more than toys! Today Mango and producer Mary are taking you on a whirlwind world tour of puppetry, from Indonesian puppet shows that run until dawn to an avant-garde French ice marionette to… emo puppets? That’s right, emo puppets.

Got a question you’d like us to answer? A rabbit hole you think we should explore? Send an email or voice memo to [e-mail], and we might use it in an upcoming episode.
