Yarn Factory Listeners: December Stories to Warm the Season

In this December edition of Yarn Factory Listeners on the Kankakee Podcast, host Bill Yohnka brings together another memorable night of community storytelling filled with heart, humor, and reflection. The stories span generations and experiences — from growing up in small towns and navigating family traditions, to moments of loss, resilience, and unexpected joy that often surface during the holiday season.

Listeners will hear stories that remind us why this time of year carries so much meaning: the people we miss, the traditions we hold onto, and the ways community shows up when it matters most. With a mix of laughter, quiet insight, and genuine connection, this episode captures the spirit of December in Kankakee — a reminder that even ordinary moments can become powerful stories worth sharing.
