The Way I Heard It

By: Mike Rowe

Narrated by: Mike Rowe

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.

The only thing wrong with this book is it's to short. I always hate getting to the end of a really fascinating book. It was fun and informative, that's a terrific combination. I would definitely recommend this non-political book to anyone that loves to read or listen.

Captivating Chronicles from Mike Rowe

A super-entertaining book, with so many intriguing recitals and anecdotes recounted in such a clever and easy-going way, as only Mike can do. If one was ever a fan of the late, great Paul Harvey, you will certainly fall in love this read from Mike Rowe. Mike, who is obviously a fan of, and has a in-depth knowledge and history of Paul Harvey's radio programme, gives him homage and respect in this book. Moreover, Mike provides a modern and entertaining twist to his storytelling; something that he is very, very good at, which keeps us looking to the next chapter, and hopefully another book.
I would like to say Thank You to Mike for making this book; it has been most enjoyable!
