A Mister Rogers Tribute Podcast hosted by Rick Lee James

    Won't You Be My Neighbor Day - Welcome To The Neighborhood

    Won't You Be My Neighbor Day - Welcome To The Neighborhood

    Won't You Be My Neighbor Day is a celebration that takes place every March 20th. The day is dedicated to honoring, appreciating, and celebrating the late Fred Rogers, who was the beloved host of the preschool TV series "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood". The show aired from 1968 to 2001, and even though it hasn't been broadcasted in the last 21 years, it still holds a special place in many people's hearts. In fact, some still consider "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" as the benchmark for all other children's programs. The show is so iconic that those who grew up in the '70s and '80s undoubtedly remember watching Mister Rogers travel to the Neighborhood of Make-Believe and sing songs with his puppet friends.

    Welcome To The Neighborhood with Brad Meltzer


     


     
    “Ordinary People Change The World” is the friendly, fun biography series written by Brad Meltzer that inspired the PBS Kids TV show Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum. One great role model at a time, these books encourage kids to dream big. 
    In the new book, “I Am Mister Rogers,” the beloved children’s television host becomes the 31st hero in the New York Times bestselling picture book biography series for ages 5 to 9.
    The book’s author, Brad Meltzer, has stopped by for a podcast visit to tell us all about this neighborly new addition to the “Ordinary People Change The World” series, and I could not be happier about that.
