Summary
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.

this is a great book... or at least that's the way I heard it...

FINALLY! Someone picked up where Paul Harvey left off, (God rest his soul.) I loved this book. Funny, witty, true, and amazing. Mike could read Lottery ticket numbers and make it interesting. Joan Rivers, a haunted mansion, gameshow hosts... yep, it's in here. Ya gotta read this book.

Awesome book! It was even better with Mike reading it!

I got more comfortable with the style as the book went on, and yes, I enjoyed not only the stories of the real life stories of the people Mike profiled, but I enjoyed Mike's personal stories as well. I am glad he was talked into doing it. Writing a book is a ton of work. It is a fun book. Good job.

Last year, I had to to commute from OC to LA at 4am. Thanks to this book I did not want my commute to end!

enjoyable read

Great storytelling! Stories are just long enough and told in such a way as to keep you guessing. I found myself parked, after a long drive, unable to exit my car… until he finished the story. Just what I needed to keep me engaged on a 7 hour drive.

Mike Rowe does a great job with the story telling, in this book. I used to listen to Paul Harvey all the time. I think Mike Rowe does an excellent job of writing and narrating all the stories in this book. I also enjoy his personal stories and his sense of humor. Best book I've listened to in quite some time!!

Sitting in gridlock traffic is pleasant when it’s spent listening to Mike Rowe tell a story.
