About the Puppet Podcast "On The Road": I am actually touring the ice hockey arenas from the United States and  Canada with a Cirque du Soleil show called "Axel" and I am the only  puppeteer on ice of the show. The purpose of this podcast is to help the  puppet art to become even more well known by the general public so that  they understand more this very unique craft.
