You may know Mike Rowe from
any number of things. From his role as narrator of the
Deadliest Catch or from his own show,
Dirty Jobs. I really got to "know" him when I saw one of his no-nonsense posts on Facebook went viral. I just entered the podcast realm last year, and I downloaded
The Way I Heard It for a road trip with my husband. 142 of his ten-minute mysteries entertained us for thousands of miles on the highway. When given the opportunity to read his book by the same name, I quickly agreed.
The Way I Heard It is a podcast for those with short attention spans. Mike Rowe will start telling you a story, often from history, and your job is to see if you can figure it out before the end. His book
is a compilation of some of his favorite podcast episodes mixed in with stories about his life. From growing up in Maryland to being in an opera to his time on QVC, you get to learn
a bit more about Mike Rowe the person. You can see the roots of his career take shape when he speaks of his grandfather building a family room for his mother. He talks about getting inspiration for his podcast from the great Paul Harvey and his friendship with Captain Phil Harris from the
Deadliest Catch. You can "hear" his trademark deep baritone voice with every story told. Moreso, if you have listened to the podcast and revisit some episodes in the book. He mentions the very first episode that I listened to in the book. Speaking about a young pop-star with an overbearing father. You may think you know exactly who he is referring to, but the more you listen, the more
it is clear that there are parallels between two different pop-stars. When he revealed the twist at the end of the ten-minute podcast, I was hooked. And you will be, too.
Bottom Line - Mike Rowe is easily one of my favorite celebrities. Not just because of his podcast, although it is
pretty awesome. But because of his sensible outlook on life mirrors mine and his self-deprecating humor endlessly amuses me
. I look forward to more episodes of
The Way I Heard It with the same eagerness that I look forward to books by my favorite authors. What better praise could there be?
