Yo: The Long Road Home

The story of A WWII P.O.W. transformed into a beloved educator.

Coming Veteran's Day November, 11th 2021 from Great Feeling Studios: John “Yo” Strang was a legendary and beloved educator and mentor at the prestigious McCallie School in Chattanooga, TN. Known for his buoyant nature and impactful influence in his community, few knew of his traumatic and pivotal experiences during the war that moored him in his faith. This podcast weaves together the story of his transformation from mischievous youth, to Prisoner of War, to devoted teacher by incorporating letters, interviews, and first-hand stories from the people who knew him best (including Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jon Meacham).
