Author Tim Madigan to return to the “Morning Show: on Thursday, August 18th
August 15, 2022Remembering Mr. Rogers on “Morning Show”
Journalist and author Tim Madigan, who visited the “Morning Show” earlier this year to discuss his bestselling book, “The Burning: The Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921” – which was featured in this year’s Newburyport Literary Festival — will return on to discuss “I’m Proud of You,” a memoir of his close and long-term friendship with Fred Rogers.
Host Mary Jacobsen will talk with Madigan about Mr. Rogers’ healing presence for both children and adults, and the life experiences and spiritual convictions he drew upon to develop his extraordinary compassion and nonjudgmental acceptance of people everywhere.
A unifying figure whom his admirers viewed as wise, Rogers’ counsel was often sought during troubled times such as the aftermath of 9/11, Madigan recalls. He will share his reflections about what words of wisdom Fred Rogers might provide for us today as we navigate our current divisive and unsettled times.
“The Morning Show” airs Thursday at 9 a.m. on Channel 9 and WJOP (FM 96.3) and will also be available on YouTube (at NCMHub.org). After broadcast, click Playlist on YouTube and scroll down.
