[This blog will always be free to read, but it's also how I pay my bills. If you have suggestions or feedback on how I can earn your paid subscription, shoot me an email: cmclymer@gmail.com. And yes, I am available for speaking engagements.]Good morning, folks!It's that time again. Here are five positive things that'll hopefully make you smile, make you laugh, and make you think. And in case you missed it, check out last week's edition.1. Tom Junod's 1998 Esquire Profile of Fred RogersI'm going way back for this one because it's so damn good. In 1968, Rev. Fred Rogers, better known as Mister Rogers, launched his iconic program Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, which ran for 33 seasons and captured the hearts of several generations along the way. Five years before his death, he was covered by journalist Tom Junod for Esquire in what is widely considered one of the best celebrity profiles ever written. Every now and again, I go back and read it and marvel at Mister Roger's approach to life and the gorgeous and moving way in which Junod captures it on the page. It's the kind of piece that dares you to have a bit more faith in humanity, my favorite genre. It was also the basis for the 2019 feature film A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, starring Tom Hanks.2. David Mack's Interview With a Disgruntled Oompa LoompaA few weeks ago, a disastrous “Willy Wonka chocolate factory experience” in Glasgow, Scotland went viral for being, hands down, one of the funniest and most intriguing public failures in recent memory. It was so bad that the whole thing was shut down within hours of opening after pissed off parents called the police and demanded refunds. This may sound pretty negative, but trust me: it's definitely the laugh you need. David Mack of Vulture landed an exclusive interview with Kirsty Paterson, a very poorly paid actor who played an Oompa Loompa and went viral for an iconic photo of her agonizing role in the production. 3. WaPo Columnist Monica Hesse Takes On Sen. Kyrsten Sinema's BrandSo, I have a cardinal rule that I follow pretty zealously: I don't mock or criticize anyone's personal appearance, even people I may find particularly unsavory, because how someone looks is, I believe, immaterial to their character. If someone sucks as a human being, aren't there valid reasons to criticize them without resorting to personal appearance? That said, I also don't like hypocrisy, and Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, the retiring senior senator from Arizona, has a fairly solid claim to the Biggest Hypocrite on Capitol Hill. Part of that hypocrisy is the way in which she intentionally uses clothing to code as an open and enlightened elected official while holding political positions that are anything but open and enlightened. It's quite a frustrating dynamic, and fortunately, Washington Post columnist Monica Hesse has delivered a humorous nugget of an essay getting to the heart of the matter.4. Saturday Night Live + ScarJo Brilliantly Parody Sen. Katie BrittThis past week, Pres. Biden delivered his State of the Union address to considerable praise from journalists and voters alike. The GOP response was delivered by Sen. Katie Britt of Alabama, and it kinda did the exact opposite. Not only was it widely panned across the political spectrum—Republican politicos called it a “disaster”—but it was revealed the next day by reporter Jonathan M. Katz that Sen. Britt had blatantly lied about a key anecdote involving the horrific trauma experienced by a migrant woman. Pretty nasty business. Fortunately, Saturday Night Live tapped Scarlett Johansson for a hilarious cold open parody of Sen. Britt's response. It may not be close to the consequences the Senator deserves for her exploitative and cruel nonsense, but it'll make you laugh. 5. Ryan Gosling Steals the Show at Last Night's OscarsThis year's edition of the Academy Awards was pretty damn good. From host Jimmy Kimmel nailing Trump with a particularly biting zinger to Billie Eilish delivering an exquisite live performance of “What Was I Made For?” to John Cena appearing in nothing but Birkenstocks and a placard onstage, there was fun for everyone. But it was Ryan Gosling's phenomenal performance of “I'm Just Ken” that broke the internet, proving that, once again, there is seemingly nothing Ryan Gosling can't do that won't make you root for him.

Frank Gore Sr. ran for exactly 16,000 yards in his prolific 16 year career in the NFL. Most likely, that longevity and endurance will never be replicated again, meaning Gore is more than worthy of the title, “The Last Running Back”. As the running backs' role in the NFL has dramatically shifted over the years, the Frank Gore archetype is fading into history. With his son Frank Gore Jr.'s impending selection in this year's NFL draft, has the game changed too much for him to pass down everything he knows? Today, Tom Junod joins the show to explain Frank Gore Sr.'s legacy, and how he plans to pass the baton to the next generation. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We've collected our favorite episodes of 2022 into one playlist, to help ensure you didn't miss any of our best stories from this past year. And on today's show, we're republishing one of those episodes, which originally ran on September 30, 2022: The story of Betsy Sailor and Irv Pankey is unlike any you've heard before. It's a story that, for years, was shrouded in darkness, tied inextricably to the unspeakable crimes of a former Penn State football player named Todd Hodne. ESPN's Tom Junod and Paula Lavigne first brought Hodne's horrific crimes to light this spring in their meticulously reported feature “Untold.” But in the midst of their reporting, they stumbled onto another, completely opposite story. A story of compassion, friendship, and ultimately, 40 years later…love.

Support Past Present on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/pastpresentpodcast Here are some links and references mentioned during this week's show:  When journalist Brendan Koerner took to Twitter to call out a podcast for using his work without attribution, he drew attention to the broader appetite for true crime content. Neil recommended the podcast series Someone Knows Something, and Natalia referred to the “Dead Blondes” season on the podcast You Must Remember This and this Los Angeles Review of Books essay. She also cited an NPR segment about the how podcasters should cover true crime stories.   In our regular closing feature, What's Making History: Natalia recommended Derek Thompson's Atlantic article, “Why American Teens Are So Sad”.

The piece took two years to report. In this podcast Lavigne and Junod discuss how they learned of Hodne's story; the reporting process for their piece; how they characterized Penn State's response to their queries; if the piece says something about the silence that happens in college football towns; the incredible strength of Betsy Sailor, and the story of Betsy and Irv Pankey; how they view Joe Paterno after their reporting; the decision to contact Jerry Sandusky; what happens next with the story; the resources ESPN gave them to report; and more. You can subscribe to this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Google Play, Stitcher, and more.

(Note: We're taking a break from the "Belonging to Him" series for the holiday season and will pick back up with Part 2 on January 17th. This week we're returning to sermons John delivered while pastoring a church in Honduras with his 2019 Thanksgiving message.) A heart of thanksgiving and gratitude raises our perspective and reminds us about the good stuff we were missing. Likewise, thanking God for his blessings raises our perspective even higher. But what about when we thank God for those around us? Too many live their lives empty of affirmation and grace. They don't know that God loves them unconditionally, that he wants them to come to him as they are and find healing, restoration, and transformation. For our part, we don't often thank others unless it's earned. But God's grace isn't earned, so when we thank God for others, deserved or not, we're simply passing along what God has given us. Live a life of gratitude. Thank God. Thank God for others. You'll be sharing the Gospel in a miraculous new way.

Tune in for Arthur's thoughts on The Heart Principle by Helen Hoang. Her third #ownvoices contemporary romance stars Anna Sun, a violinist who seeks out a one-night stand after her boyfriend Julian announces that they should try an open relationship before making plans to tie the knot, and Quan Diep, the tattooed and motorcycle-riding cousin of Michael Larsen from the author's debut novel The Kiss Quotient. Initially, Quan seems to fit the bill for a one-night stand, but maybe he's actually qualified for much more…? This episode also includes topics like advocation for better disability representation in media, a recitation of a Frasier scene that showcases the eponymous radio psychiatrist in all his control-freak glory, and the numerous striking similarities between The Heart Principle and The Kiss Quotient—including the fact that Quan, like Michael, is always in Cinnamon Roll Mode.

Twenty years have passed since 9/11. Writers Tom Junod and James B. Stewart stop by to remember and reflect on the events of that day. Bryan talks with Stewart to discuss his 2002 New Yorker piece, "The Real Heroes Are Dead," which follows Rick Rescorla—former soldier, officer, security specialist, and hero who helped save thousands of lives on 9/11—through his love story with his wife, Susan (0:53). Later, Tom Junod stops by to talk through his 2003 Esquire piece that focuses on the infamous picture of "The Falling Man." They discuss how the story came about, why finding the identity of the man in the photo was important, and how the story is received years later (27:40).

Goodall Park in Sanford, Maine is the type of ballpark that feels like sacred ground. Over its more than 100 years of history, Goodall Park has seen its fair share of iconic baseball moments, including a home run hit by Babe Ruth that locals swear went 700 feet. But in 2018, Goodall Park became famous for something else. During a Babe Ruth League baseball game, a woman drove her car onto the field in the midst of a psychotic episode, and a 68-year-old man, Douglas Parkhurst, was killed while trying to protect the young ballplayers. In the aftermath, Parkhurst was hailed as a savior: that is, until a 50-year-old secret came to light, raising questions about fate, redemption, and what it means to be a hero. Tom Junod joins Mina Kimes to share the incredible story of "The Hero of Goodall Park."

The idea for this week’s episode of TBOA came from none other than Mister Rogers (as in Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood) who articulated his big idea perfectly to journalist Tom Junod. How Mr. Rogers’ big idea changed the worldview of a cynical journalist—and how to apply the same framework to yours.A formula to start pinpointing your big idea (with a live example to see how it works in real life).Weaving the elements of a big idea into your marketing and branding.The psychic rewards from having your own business and the role your mindset plays in naming your big idea. Making your big idea crackle with emotion for your target audience.Quotables“A great big idea is really concise, really clear and really big.”—JS “Your big idea is focused not on you and what you do but on the result—the outcome, the transformation you deliver.”—RM “You know you’re onto something when you find the germ of an emotional reaction in your wording. You start thinking: that’s what I do—it makes me really happy and clients love these outcomes.”—RM “The less clear your big idea, the more drag there will be, the more waste there will be…if you can streamline your big idea, you can start zooming.”—JS

Tom Junod's three movie star cover story series with Matt Damon, and Leonardo DiCaprio My Rolling Stone subscription and my wall of covers Nate Jackson's book called “Slow Getting Up” about the NFL Nate Jackson's take on Eric Mangini and his reign in Cleveland Willie McGinest and what he would say about Eric Mangini and Romeo Crennel and Bill Belichick Andrew Bynum and the tone of the coverage How can you criticize the Bynum move without the alternative?
