Doing Mister Rogers
Discussing Hard Topics Like Loss, Work, Competition, Self-Love, and in the end Ultimate Happiness... Mister Rogers and his little Neighborhood of friends continues to teach us how to approach these hard challenges of life even into adulthood. His simple but effective approach allows even the most "mature" adults to still learn new perspectives on old subjects, and have a few laughs while doing it. On Doing Mister Rogers, two women embark on watching a new Mister Rogers Neighborhood episode each week and pick out the very adult and enlightening wisdom Mister Rogers and his cast of characters still manages to impart to them even at their most successful, accomplished and "enlightened"... and then they talk about it. More importantly, they have some laughs and some fun while doing it. Join us as we go old school. Laugh, Learn and Love a little more... by Doing Mister Rogers.
