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.
Music featured on podcast was Nouvelle Noel by Kevin MacLeod

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."

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

Episode Five: The Goodness of Fred Rogers
This week in the neighborhood, our subject is Goodness.
“In the external scheme of things, shining moments are as brief as the twinkling of an eye, yet such twinklings are what eternity is made of -- moments when we human beings can say "I love you," "I'm proud of you," "I forgive you," "I'm grateful for you." That's what eternity is made of: invisible imperishable good stuff.”

Episode Three: The Peace of Fred Rogers
This week in the neighborhood, our subject is Peace.
If Fred Rogers was anything, he was a man of peace. One of my favorite Fred Rogers quotes is, “Peace is far more than the absence of war.” This is true, but I also think that Fred would be the first to remind us as well that Peace is also the absence of war too.
