Colorado Springs educator, musician and innovator Linda Weise is walking in the footsteps of the late Fred Rogers with her Rocky Mountain PBS television show,
Simple Gift Series.
Like Rogers, Weise is the creator, showrunner, writer, composer and host of the show, an educational program for young children.
The show premiered in August 2020 with a 13-episode first season. Its second season is being edited, and a third season is in development.
âItâs so fun to have our very own Mister Rogers, except sheâs called Miss Linda,â said Carrie McKee, vice president of regional innovation centers statewide at Rocky Mountain PBS.
