Picture this: you're stuck in traffic or squeezing in a coffee break, and suddenly Mike Rowe drops a bombshell fact about a president or movie icon that totally rewires what you knew. That's the magic of The Way I Heard It, his unbridged Audible audiobook pulling together the best from America's top short-form podcast.

You do crave those 'aha' moments—facts that stick, stories that surprise—without eating up your day. Mike gets it; he's crafted these for minds with short attention spans that still hunger for depth.
Dive into tales of Nazis, traitors, do-gooders with blood on their hands, and celebs with secret lives. Each is a five-minute puzzle about someone familiar, delivered in Mike's signature mix of charm, wit, and that gravelly ingenuity. But it's more than mysteries—it's a mosaic of his life: behind-the-scenes from Dirty Jobs, raw insights from decades in the spotlight, and ruminations that feel like chatting over beers.
