About this listen

Emmy Award-winning gadfly Mike Rowe presents a ridiculously entertaining, seriously fascinating collection of his favorite episodes from America’s number-one short-form podcast, The Way I Heard It, along with a host of memories, ruminations, and insights. It’s a delightful collection of mysteries. A mosaic. A memoir. A charming, surprising must-have.

Mike Rowe’s The Way I Heard It collects 35 fascinating stories “for the curious mind with a short attention span”. Five-minute mysteries about people you know, filled with facts that you didn’t. Movie stars, presidents, Nazis, rank traitors, and bloody do-gooders - 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 crammed with recollections, insights, and intimate, behind-the-scenes moments drawn from Mike’s 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.

Magnificent
