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.

Mike Rowe

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!

Uplifting during a dark time

Refreshing to read/listen to when constantly bombarded with how horrible our world is from every other audio [media] source. Thank you sir, for sharing your gift.

So good I had to write a recommendation

It takes a lot for me to write a review. Basically it’s gotta be really good or really bad.

This audible book was fantastic.

I have never watched Mike Rowe on TV. I never listened to his podcast...before this book. The story telling was fantastic. Even his own stories from his life were fantastic to listen to as well.

I can honestly say this is the best audible I have listened to. Give it a shot.
