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.

Little bit of guessing, little bit of autobiograph

The book is great and Mike Rowe's voice is perfect. The chapters are laid out with a story in the beginning leaving the listener to guess who or what piece of history be or pop culture he is telling the tale about. The second half of the chapters is Mike relating the aforementioned story to his life in an autobiographical style. I will certainly recommend this to anyone who is a fan of Mike.

I love him more!

OMG!! So funny and well spoken. His stories are, for the most part, so funny. I wish it would have been longer.

Great Book Great Author Great Read

I’ve always admired Mike Rowe so I pre ordered his book on audible. What a great read! I completed it in two days and I learned some stuff about him, his life, and myself along the way. You will too if you read it. And I promise you will enjoy the ride and I guarantee you won’t fall asleep at the wheel. You might even hear, The Rest of the Story. Willy.
