Editorial Reviews

MARCH 2022 - AudioFile

While he was welcomed into millions of homes on a daily basis, this audio documentary about Fred Rogers and his “Neighborhood” examines his impact one person at a time. Tom Bergeron, the lead narrator, serves as more of a bridge between themes, introducing each area examined, such as music, puppets, and private moments. The real stars of this work are the dozens of people who talk about the effect “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood” and its host had on them. Some entries are short, just a few sentences. Others are much longer. But all are heartwarming and speak to the fact that Mister Rogers was the same person on the screen and off. The stories are engaging and carry listeners along effectively. The fact that many of the people are far from polished speakers adds to the authenticity of the work. R.C.G. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine
