About this listen

 In this New York Times bestselling must-read, executive producer and host of Dirty Jobs Mike Rowe presents a delightfully entertaining, seriously fascinating collection of his favorite episodes from America’s #1 short-form podcast, The Way I Heard It, along with a host of personal memories, ruminations, and insights that will leave you captivated.

The Way I Heard It presents thirty-five mysteries “for the curious mind with a short attention span.” Every one is a trueish tale about someone you know, filled with facts that you don’t. Movie stars, presidents, bloody do-gooders, and villains—they’re all here, waiting to shake your hand, hoping you’ll remember them. Delivered with Mike’s signature blend of charm, wit, and ingenuity, their stories are part of a larger mosaic—a memoir full of surprising revelations, sharp observations, and intimate, behind-the-scenes moments drawn from Mike’s own remarkable life and career.

I needed this book. It's June 2023 and there's nothing but depressing crap on the news, and everything is looking dim economically. I needed Mike to tell me inspirational stories and lighten the mood. I'm genuinely sad that I've finished the book. I just turned to my better half and said to her: "damnit, I just finished the book"...
Thank you, Mike. You brightened my spirits, if only for the couple days it took me to get through this audiobook. I wish I could listen to it for the first time again.
