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.

 “The first day I met Fred I left my pen in his apartment in NYC. The next morning I found this on his table. I’ve never opened it.”

-Tom Junod, telling of an artifact he’s kept from his first interview with Mister Rogers for an Esquire profile he wrote in 1998.

Fred Rogers, known to generations of children as Mister Rogers, built a legacy of compassion and empathy through his decades of children’s programming. In a new Special Edition Issue, Newsweek takes us beyond the neighborhood to discover not only Mister Rogers’ impact on the lives of millions of children, but also the continuing traditions instilling his philosophies of care to today’s generation. This Newsweek Special Edition also gives an inside look into the new film tribute, A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, featuring Tom Hanks as everyone’s favorite neighbor.

Tim Baker is editor of this Special Fred Rogers Edition of Newsweek and he’s here today to offer us a behind the scenes look at this magazine which releases on November 5th, 2019.

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
