"The Way I Heard It began as a collection of short stories pulled from my podcast -- a simple attempt to satisfy listeners who wanted written versions of my weekly five-minute mysteries. That, according to my mother, was "the very definition of lazy." So, I sat down to explain why I wrote these mysteries in the first place. Before I knew it, that new material turned into something deeply personal and entirely unexpected. The result is what you're holding: a curious mix of memoir and mystery. I suppose you could call it a "memstery," but that's not really a word, so let's just call it what it is -- a book. Inside this book, you'll learn about my strange foray into the belly of the Baltimore Opera, my various humiliations in the home shopping industry, and my many run-ins with dirty jobbers, bloody do-gooders, B-list celebrities, and Hollywood hotshots. You'll also meet my mom and dad, who continue to upstage me at every turn. Mostly, though, you'll learn why I write about famous people I've never met, and what I discovered about myself in the process. It's not the book I sat down to write; it is, however, the book that wanted to be written. And now, it's the book I hope you'll read. It's The Way I heard It. - Mike Rowe, from the rear outer jacket. "A ridiculously entertaining, seriously riveting collection of favorite episodes from America's #1 short-form podcast, The Way I Heard It, along with a host of memories, ruminations, illustrations, and insights from Mike Rowe. Executive producer and host Mike Rowe presents thirty-five fascinating stories "for the curious mind with a short attention span." Short mysteries about people you know, filled with startling facts that you didn't. Movie stars, madmen, heroes, and heels: they're all here, waiting to shake your hand, hoping you'll remember them. Delivered with Mike Rowe's signature blend of charm, wit, and ingenuity, their adventures are part of a larger mosaic -- a memoir crammed with surprising revelations, sharp observations, and behind-the-scenes moments drawn from a remarkable life and career." - from the inner front jacket flap.
