Speaker 1: I want to ask you if Fred Rogers were here
Speaker 1: today and you could sit down with him, and he
Speaker 1: sat across from you and said, actually, it's nice to
Speaker 1: meet you. I'm Fred. I want to know what you
Speaker 1: would ask him. I mean, it wouldn't be one question.
Speaker 1: I want you to tell me about every person you've
Speaker 1: ever loved. I think there's so much to learn from
Speaker 1: listening to people talk about the people who make them
Speaker 1: feel a certain way. So there I am on the
Speaker 1: couch with Mr Rotters. Wow, look at my face, the
Speaker 1: way that he looked at me. I felt like you
Speaker 1: saw me. Kids they grow out of him as though
Speaker 1: they've graduated from Fred Rogers, but it's still resonates. Are

Speaker 1: He had a calling, one that allowed him to communicate
Speaker 1: in a way that the ordinary person does not. When

Speaker 1: Mr Rogers looked through our television screens and said to
Speaker 1: millions of kids, I see you. I like you just
Speaker 1: the way you are. But what do we miss about
Speaker 1: Fred's message. When we only focus on the sweater and
Speaker 1: the sneakers, I mean, does Fred Rogers matter today? I
Speaker 1: think a lot of people just thought that he was
Speaker 1: very simplistic, but there was an incredible depth and call
Speaker 1: to action on the show. I'm Carlo Wallace and is
Speaker 1: Finding Fred a ten part series from I Heart Media
Speaker 1: and Fatherly in partnership with Transmitter Media about the life,
Speaker 1: the thinking, and the work of Fred Rogers, the man
Speaker 1: behind Mr Rogers Neighborhood. The thing he chooses to say
Speaker 1: is I still see you. I'm still proud of you,
Speaker 1: and see the child and you listen everywhere. Beginning October,
Speaker 1: It's time for me to go. Do you know when
Speaker 1: I go on one day, I usually come back the
Speaker 1: next
