For over 12 years now, a man dressed up as Jesus has wandered around the country barefoot, spreading the word of the Gospels. He only answers to "What's Your Name", and he owns nothing besides the robes he wears, the Bible he carries, a rosary and a toothbrush. Tonight on the Front Porch, we'll meet a New Hampshire filmmaker who spent years documenting this man and the people he's encountered. Some believe he's a blessing from God, others think he's just plain crazy.

Our guests are:

Sean Tracey, director and producer of the new documentary The Jesus Guy and Creative Director of Sean Tracey Associates, an Advertising Firm in Portsmouth.

Fred Mogul, reporter for public radio station WNYC in New York. Fred wrote an article about What's Your Name for Time magazine in 2000. You can read his article here.
