What Was That Like - a storytelling podcast with amazing stories from real people
Society & Culture:Personal Journals
You’re listening to What Was That Like, and this is the last episode for 2023 – which means it’s our year-end Listener Stories episode.
For each episode of the show, we have a guest come on and tell their story. It might be someone who survived an alligator attack, or a person who was shot multiple times, or maybe someone who went on The Price is Right and won the showcase – those are just a few examples of the over 160 past episodes.
And then, at the very end of each episode, we have a Listener Story. This is a 5-10 minute short story that was sent in by a listener, just like you. It can be something sad, or amazing, or funny – just something that people find interesting. If you have a story like that, I’d love to have you send it in, and you might hear it on a future episode. You can email it to me at Scott@WhatWasThatLike.com.
And for the final episode of the year, we hear all of those stories played back to back – which is what we’re doing today.
And I wanted to mention this - one of these stories sort of toward the end has a discussion of suicide – so just before that story plays, you’ll hear a little warning alert – when you hear that, if you want to, you can fast forward about 4 ½ minutes to the next story.
So let’s get on with it – and please enjoy the Listener Stories of 2023.
