Word for word. Sentence for sentence

Word-for-word; sentence-for-sentence; there is no more powerful podcast on the net when it comes to weaving evocative stories told by the people who lived them in their own voice and their own time.

Episode 462 Francois Clemmons on Mister Rogers

I was hoping for more of the actual Mister Rogers episode and interview with Francois Clemmons. The first African American on a kid’s tv show. He played the recurring role of Officer Clemmons.
