The Long Road Home

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).

Produced by Cariad Harmon, Narrated by Jakob Lewis, Edited by Rachel Aronoff.
