Summary
In a special presentation, the Waves feed presents a co-production between Target and Slate Studios. This is Coffee & Crayons, a podcast about navigating the highs and lows of back to school time. It’s a series of conversations full of insights and advice to help families thrive during tricky transitions. In this episode, Join host Mallory Kasdan as she talks with Academy Award-winning filmmaker Morgan Neville about compassion, confidence, and, of course, Mr. Rogers. Morgan’s 2018 documentary Won’t You Be My Neighbor? looks back at groundbreaking the television show and how its creator’s ideas about childhood shaped generations of kids. Morgan describes how Mr. Rogers’ messages about love, feelings, community, and self-worth directly influence how he raises his two children–from helping them navigate changing social landscapes at school to the ways his family transitions from summertime to a new school year.
