Welcome To The Neighborhood: A Mister Rogers Tribute Podcast

Bonus Episode: Shea Tuttle Exactly As You Are: The Life and Faith of Mister Rogers Fred Rogers fiercely believed that all people deserve love. This conviction wasn’t simply sentimental: it came directly from his Christian faith. God, he insisted, loves us just the way we are. In the book, Exactly as You Are, Shea Tuttle looks at Fred Rogers’s life, the people and places that made him who he was, and his work through Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood. She pays particular attention to his faith—because Fred Rogers was a deeply spiritual person, ordained by his church with a one-of-a-kind charge: to minister to children and families through television. Tuttle explores this kind, influential, and sometimes surprising man: the neighborhood he came from, the neighborhood he built, and the kind of neighbor he, by his example, calls all of us to be.

Bonus Episode: A Conversation with Tom Junod This week we are pleased to bring you a bonus episode in cooperation with Sony Pictures and the new movie "A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood". This week in the neighborhood we are joined by award winning journalist, and Senior Writer at ESPN, Tom Junod. Tom has written a number of memorable pieces over the years but he is perhaps best known for a profile article he wrote on Fred Rogers for Esquire in 1998 titled, "Can You Say. . . Hero?". That Esquire article serves as the framework of the movie A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood in which Tom Hanks portrays Fred Rogers, and Matthew Rhys portrays Lloyd Vogel, a character loosely based on Junod. The movie opens in theaters everywhere this November. Special Thanks to Tom Junod and Sony Pictures for helping us bring this wonderful conversation to you this week.

Welcome To The Neighborhood: A Mister Rogers Tribute Podcast Episode Eight: The Self-Control of Fred Rogers In 1968 Fred Rogers wrote a song that asks some important questions: "What do you do with the mad that you feel When you feel so mad you could bite? When the whole wide world seems oh, so wrong... And nothing you do seems very right? What do you do? Do you punch a bag? Do you pound some clay or some dough? Do you round up friends for a game of tag? Or see how fast you go? It's great to be able to stop When you've planned a thing that's wrong, And be able to do something else instead And think this song: I can stop when I want to Can stop when I wish I can stop, stop, stop any time. And what a good feeling to feel like this And know that the feeling is really mine. Know that there's something deep inside That helps us become what we can. For a girl can be someday a woman And a boy can be someday a man." -Fred Rogers Like to read?

Welcome To The Neighborhood: A Mister Rogers Tribute Podcast Episode Seven: The Gentleness of Fred Rogers "Most of us, I believe, admire strength. It's something we tend to respect in others, desire for ourselves, and wish for our children. Sometimes, though, I wonder if we confuse strength and other words--like aggression and even violence. Real strength is neither male nor female; but is, quite simply, one of the finest characteristics that any human being can possess." -Fred Rogers From The World According to Mister Rogers Like to read?
