I want to ask you if Fred Rogers were here
today and you could sit down with him, and he
sat across from you and said, actually, it's nice to
meet you. I'm Fred. I want to know what you
would ask him. I mean, it wouldn't be one question.
(00:24):
I want you to tell me about every person you've
ever loved. I think there's so much to learn from
listening to people talk about the people who make them
feel a certain way. So there I am on the
couch with Mr Rotters. Wow, look at my face, the
(00:46):

saw me. Kids they grow out of him as though

the sneakers, I mean, does Fred Rogers matter today? I
think a lot of people just thought that he was
very simplistic, but there was an incredible depth and call
(01:56):
to action on the show. I'm Carlo Wallace and is
Finding Fred a ten part series from I Heart Media
and Fatherly in partnership with Transmitter Media about the life,
the thinking, and the work of Fred Rogers, the man
behind Mr Rogers Neighborhood. The thing he chooses to say
is I still see you. I'm still proud of you,
(02:18):
and see the child and you listen everywhere. Beginning October,
It's time for me to go. Do you know when
I go on one day, I usually come back the
