Word of mouth
My husband and I listen every week. We find ourselves telling friends and family about interesting things we heard on Mike Rowe's podcast. PS. We Love Coffee with my Mom! Everything with Peggy is our favorite! And... The way I Heard It short stories are excellent and remind us of Paul Harvey's The Rest of the Story from many years ago. Thank you Mike & Chuck!

Louie DePalma
Loved this episode! From Danny Divito doing the final blow outs on stiffs to your dad surviving a near death experience! Glad everything turned out well for both individuals! Can’t wait to see Chuck’s blow out…maybe Divito can come by do an interview while styling Chuck! 🤔🤣

Episode 366: They put him in a cage
I didn’t see that one coming at all. Great story!

Nobody does it better…
Mike Rowe tells a story like no other. Love the Danny DeVito story!

Mike Rowe Book Club
Does anyone have a list of all the books Mike has recommended for reading throughout this series? Cuz I need it.

Free but not
Mike provides his wonderful podcast to listeners at no cost and yet it’s expensive for me because the interviews are so interesting that I want to buy every book being discussed!

More podcasts?
Last apple podcast to upload was 18 Dec 2023. Been spoiled for years by weekly, sometime more often entertainment. Are the podcasts coming back? They make my travel weeks much more enjoyable. Loyal listener. Heidi

I enjoy the guests Mike has on his podcast, always so interesting, especially when Mom visits!

Love Mike
Love the podcast. Love we Mom is on too. Much Aloha

The Way I Heard It
Loved the podcast. I especially love your barbershop commercials.

Mike and Chuck just talking.
I love that it is unscripted. It makes for a much better podcast. Thank you for the entertainment!

My fav
I wish Mike was my neighbor to my west. I already have a good neighbor on my east.

Love the early episodes
My review is for the majority of episodes. The story and the surprise was a great format. Mike does an excellent job of making you guess who the person might be and keeping it interesting. Lots of fun and 5 star. Later interview formats shows often seemed to run on too long. Subjects were good but went beyond my level of interest. But don’t get me wrong they were interesting and just. Needed more editing to kerp the interesting stuff and keep it concise. I’m eagerly awaiting Mikes next show.

History
12/27/2023 I have been looking forward to your Mom’s audio version of her second book , “About your Father”. Are you going to put it on your podcast like you did with her last book? I hope so! 12/27/20222 Thank you Mike for having your Mom (Peggy) for recording her latest book! I have brought all three of her books but I really enjoyed her first book when it was on audio! I hope that Peggy will record her second book on audio like you mentioned on your last Podcast with her! I can’t wait for her fourth book! Bobbie First of all I did buy your book Mike but I have enjoyed listening to each chapter with you & Chuck (& especially with Mike’s Mom & Dad) even more! Thank you for all the little bit of history that you made fun & interesting! Please continue Mike & Chuck. Bobbie 9/3/21 Hi Mike, Jeff Belanger from New England Podcast gave your podcast a great review today! You have a lot of great followers! Bobbie

Coffee with my mom
Always great when mom Peggy is on.

Episode 365
Love your podcast, but this episode in particular was SO fun! I was listening to the end of it (with headphones) in line at a store and had to turn it off since I couldn’t stop laughing and I didn’t want to look like a lunatic 😂 Good stuff!

My Dad
My dad Fred is 92, served in the Korean War and is now living in the Armed Forces Retirement Home in Gulfport, MS. He plays the piano for the residents and goes to the casinos on occasion, but mostly watches television. We try to speak everyday. And once a week, I listen to this podcast. Besides the normal family stuff, the podcast gives us a chance to share thoughts about what was said. I remind and correct my Dad it is Mike Rowe’s “way he heard it”, yet my Dad thinks I am brilliant by these stories. Anyway, thanks for helping me bond with my Dad.

Lady get over here
Your Christmas story with your mom and Chuck made me laugh till my stomach hurt. I particularly love the story of your friend, watching his truck and his dog named Lady! I laughed so hard I got sick, and had listen to it three more times laughing so hard.

Susan Miley
Enjoy your podcast so much, thanks! I wonder what your friends on the camping trip think when you’re talking about what a terrible experience the camping trip was. 😂 I laughed so hard, thanks so much! Love your show!

Christmas Special with Mom
A Christmas special like no other! You covered all the typical Christmas topics: black mold, muggings, almost fatal falls, flying manure, and not so lady like Ladies. Of course, I had to listen to it twice! Laughed out loud both times!! It really put me in the Christmas spirit. :)

Great podcast
Love this guy. Love this show. Positive, meaningful, smart, real. Just finished episode 319 with Michael Easter. Awesome. Thanks Mike and Chuck.

Ok, a 5 Star PITA to review but worth it
I walk…a lot…and Mike is always with me. I finally took the time to rate 5 stars, not 4, not 3, not 2. It’s almost 2024! Isn’t there an easier way to show our love of this podcast?

Ballad of Mike Rowe
Mike is an American treasure I hold the deepest respect and the values he holds. Thank you Mike

Principles on a Podcast
I appreciated the Tim Ballard episode most. My family (wife & teens) regularly share Mike’s content, including this podcast. It’s a great perspective to add to our awareness of the stories that make up this amazing human experience.

Lady, get over here, dammit!
The funniest story I have heard on The Way I Heard It. OMG. Tears in my eyes. Merry Christmas 🎁🎄

Thanksgiving and Christmas episodes
Kudos to Chuck for his effort! LOL. Great conversations even if not what Chuck was trying so desperately to achieve.

They sing the commercials!
I never skip the ad reads because they always sing a jingle

Funniest ever
Episode 365 is the funniest ever! I will listen again for my health! Love your musical ditties.

Favorite Pod
I started listening in June of 2023 at the first episode and I can’t stop. By the end of Dec 2023 I will have caught up completely. It’s going to be sad when I have to start waiting on episodes rather than listening to multiple a day.

Another helping of Salena, please😁
Thanks, Salena Zito is an American treasure, always enlightening to hear Salena, Chuck and your perspectives.
