. He not only believed that the Democrat would win—he believed it would happen in a landslide. A time of goofballery. Rowe begins each chapter with a story about a historical figure, whether describing something the person is known for or something that occurred in the person’s life. Maybe try the audiobook though. This Miss Neele had no ID, no memory of how she had gotten to the hotel, and no idea of why she had identified herself as Miss Neele. Each mini-essay in The Way I Heard It presents a vignette of a historical figure, usually, but not always, a hero of business, the culture, or government service. He and I shared this enthusiasm, and we would sometimes listen together. Executive producer and host 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.

Rowe’s podcast is pure entertainment, and it soon developed a large subscriber base. It’s light, it’s fun, and it might leave you curious about the people in it, even Mike Rowe. ( Log Out /  Enter your email address to tag along with Zezee and receive notifications of new posts by email.

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. I had a lot of fun doing this. Rowe’s list of horrible reality shows that he has either hosted or narrated is impressive—and a reminder of the gloriously stupid days of bad cable. It then becomes a guessing game for the reader (well, it was for me), who tries to figure out who Rowe is talking about before he reveals the person’s name.

Like most actors who make a living at their craft, Rowe developed early on the ability to put up with show biz nonsense and rejection while keeping his eye on the long game. 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. Tony Daniel is the author of 11 fantasy and science fiction novels, the latest of which is young adult fantasy, "The Amber Arrow." Besides, the Republican alternative was a buffoon. There are some hilarious YouTube videos of Rowe hawking cherubic porcelain figures on a seesaw, the “Katsak,” a bag lined with crinkly plastic meant to provide pleasure for your pet, and a somewhat creepy collectible doll all available for the low, low price of $29.95 (plus shipping and handling).

Harvey, whose voice sounded something like a duet between a banjo and a chorus of ten-year-olds scraping their fingernails across a wet chalkboard, came on twice a day for about five or ten minutes on a broadcast format known at the time as “the radio.” Harvey’s first show of the day was news with mildly patriotic political commentary. Before the election, the brothers had bickered over the economy, immigration, taxes, race relations, and, of course, the border. You don’t even need to read it in a linear fashion from front to back. You can just jump in anywhere and get going.

Thanks! All his friends said so. How about that?” moment. I think this added a nice touch to the book, which, coupled with how the book is written, made me think of it as more of a conversation with Rowe about his life and people he admires. Of the chapters, my favorites were the following because the people discussed really interested me and, mostly, because I liked how the chapter was written.
