Podcast appearances and mentions of Van Johnson

In this heartfelt episode of the Kankakee Podcast, we're back for a night of powerful storytelling recorded live at The Venue Lounge in Downtown Kankakee. It's the June 2025 edition of Yarn Factory Listeners, where community members gather to share and celebrate the stories that make Kankakee unique.The evening kicks off with Terry Streetman, whose moving account of courage, resilience, and the power of queer joy highlights why he chose to call Kankakee home. Terry recalls a harrowing experience at a drag brunch in Ohio, the threat faced by his community, and the unwavering solidarity and love that triumphed in the face of hatred. His journey ends with discovering acceptance and connection within Kankakee's vibrant LGBTQ community, inspiring all to carry forward the spirit of joyful defiance.Next, Jacob Cantrell steps up to deliver a raw and deeply personal reflection on grief, loss, and healing, recounting the tragic death of his older brother and the lifelong imprint it left. Jacob's brave vulnerability resonates throughout the room, reminding us of the unseen ways we influence each other's lives and the importance of connection through even our hardest moments.Brooke Hildebrand shares a fond and funny exploration of family ties, celebrating the unique shorthand, inside jokes, and enduring bonds that only cousins can share. Her stories of Yonka family chaos, comfort, and camaraderie spark laughter and nostalgia, shining a light on the joy of lasting relationships and the value of “weak ties” in our personal networks.After intermission, local favorite Van Johnson lights up the stage with a story of sibling “hazing” gone hilariously awry, bringing down the house with tales of childhood mischief, inventive payback, and the unbreakable bonds formed over a deck of cards.The night closes with acclaimed writer Taylor Ledding-McMaster, who turns an act of hate into a force for good. Taylor recounts the anonymous, bigoted letter she received after officiating her best friend's same-sex wedding and sharing the joy in her weekly “A Tailor Made Life” column. In true Kankakee fashion, Taylor responds not with anger but with creativity and community fundraising—turning “the devil delights in you” into a viral sticker that raises money for the Trevor Project and the Kankakee LGBTQ Network.Tune in for a tapestry of laughter, tears, resilience, and pride—woven together in a way that only a small town like Kankakee can.

Support Breaking Walls at https://www.patreon.com/thewallbreakers Much ink has been spilled on Breaking Walls this year talking about Suspense. For more information on the series in 1944, please tune into Breaking Walls episode 154. On Thursday November 2nd, 1944, Van Johnson made his first appearance on “radio's outstanding theater of thrills” in “The Singing Walls.” In this Cornell Woolrich story, a man is drugged by gangsters to be framed for a crime. All he can remember is that music seemed to be coming out of the walls that surround him. Van Johnson started on Broadway in the mid-1930s and was selected as the understudy for Gene Kelly in Pal Joey. Lucille Ball got him an audition in Hollywood. From then on he was a “boy next door” handsome Hollywood star. At the time of this Suspense appearance, radio columns were commenting about the frequency of his appearances on radio's biggest programs. He was on all of the big comedy and variety shows as well as dramatic programs, often appearing on radio multiple times a week, sometimes daily, during this period of his career.

Support Breaking Walls at https://www.patreon.com/thewallbreakers By the fall of 1944, George Burns and Gracie Allen had been married for eighteen years and on radio for twelve. Their program had been officially titled The Burns And Allen Show in the fall of 1936, and they'd spent time at both NBC and CBS. With their ratings slipping in 1942, George Burns transformed their show from vaudeville-style banter into a situation comedy. It was the jolt the couple needed. In the fall of 1944 the couple was on for Lever Brothers and Swan Soap Tuesdays at 9PM eastern time from CBS. On Halloween night, Grace Allen had a make believe romance with actor Van Johnson. NBC dominated Tuesday's ratings in most timeslots, but running opposite of The Burns and Allen Show on NBC was The Molle Mystery Theater. Burns and Allen won their timeslot, but the show would still move to Monday evenings in January of 1945.

Let's discuss what Norman Van Johnson calls "Figuring out your HVACY" - to really get students to ask themselves “why” are they interested in HVACR. Getting students to think about why they are interested in HVAC opens dialogue into all the possible careers in HVACR and what might be the best fit for an individual's career path. For example, being a service technician is great for people who enjoy the solitude of driving to calls and don't mind navigating through traffic as part of their daily routine. Others may look towards the path of teaching, owning their own business or being a consultant. There are thousands of different career opportunities within our industry, we just need to assist in figuring out why they are interested, and what they would like to pursue, to help guide our students to a successful future.

Teens and the Mayor of Savannah, GA, Van Johnson, discuss student burnout, dealing with stress and anxiety, and how to cope with them while being in school.

If you prefer your murderous plots to be confined to the comfort of your podcast listening, you have come to the right place. Today a man is convinced he has been implicated in a crime while drugged, and he must find the killer. The only clue he has is the terrible dream in which he remembers only fleeting details. Our subject is Cornell Woolrich's tense thriller "The Singing Walls," and the star is the Hollywood megastar Van Johnson. Dr. Joe Webb is here to help us  navigate our way through the dark and perilous world of Woolrich.

We met with photographer and podcaster Frederick Van Johnson to learn about the latest developments in photography and philosophize with him about the outsized role it plays in our evolving world. Van Johnson contends that photos like Jeff Widener's 1989 shot of Tank Man in Tiananmen Square have always had the power to communicate immense meaning in the glance of an eye. A photo can tell a story and can change minds. Advancements in photography are expanding access to the stories that need to be told. And yet, a photo is half the capture of the image, and half the "“performance" of modifying the image to tell the stories that want to be seen and heard. Can we assume that any photo today reflects the "truth?" No. But this science fiction future need not be doom and gloom if we are solving for humans and trying to make the world better for humans. AI and technology advancement is not a zero sum game. It is always changing and growing, as are we. The key is to see where things are going and press forward smartly to take advantage of the bigger "wrenches" that are now within reach. We can do more with less, and live more meaningful, human lives. Join us.

Doug Hess is the host!
