Join us on the MuppeTrek Podcast! On Fraggle Rock, a radio sends all of Fraggledom into disarray in "Manny's Land of Carpets." And Star Trek TNG episode, "The Hunted." A simple fugitive from a utopian planet turns out to be much more than he seems.

Thanks to Phillip Chance for the modernized rendition of the TOS Star Trek theme for the end credits!
