Description

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.

    Have mercy, the man markets his book as inspired by Paul Harvey’s the Rest of the Story, but turns out to be a very arrogant telling of his own heroism in his own eyes. Made me laugh though, so. . .
  • A warm and interesting book

    A very interesting storyteller makes you want to have drinks and dinner with him and Sandy and enjoy the conversation that would accompany it.

    Insightful tales about the deeds of real people that keep one guessing until the end as to what their names are.
