That's the Word with Fr. James Yamauchi
Everyone loves a good story. Join Catholic priest Fr. James Yamauchi every Wednesday for wholesome tales for the whole family.
Each short story is about someone you know, but we don’t tell you who until the end. If these stories sound a lot like Paul Harvey’s The Rest of the Story or Mike Rowe’s The Way I Heard It, that’s because both these shows have inspired That’s the Word.
Our true stories tend to reflect our interests, which include Christianity, history (especially American history), movies, and weather.
