Introducing: What Was That Like Feb 07, 2022

Show notes

This is a special brief episode to introduce you to a podcast that we recently discovered, called What Was That Like. It’s quite different from any other show you listen to.

Each episode is a conversation with a regular person who has been through some type of extremely unusual situation, such as being shot in a mass shooting, surviving a plane crash, getting bitten by a rattlesnake, or getting a deal on Shark Tank (those are a few of the past episodes). The guest comes on the show and tells the story of what happened, first hand.

For many of the episodes, in addition to the person involved telling the details, you’ll also hear the 911 calls and police radio communication that happened during that situation.

With 100 past episodes, you’ll be bingeing this show for a while. Some of the episode titles:

Ramon’s wife hired a hit man to kill him
Marina was stalked
Kasey married a wrong number
Westin survived a boat propeller
Henry was attacked by an alligator
Dave won big on Wheel of Fortune
James was crushed by a tree
Liz discovered a suicide

In the trailer today, you’ll hear a few clips from past shows to give you an idea of what to expect. If you like bizarre, true stories, told first hand by the person who experienced it, we think you’ll like this show.

You can find What Was That Like on any podcast app, including Spotify, or at the website – WhatWasThatLike.com.

The Flying Men Jan 18, 2022

Show notes

Amid the very earliest days of the midcentury flying saucer craze, two women in small-town Washington see something weird in the skies: men, in gray jumpsuits, whizzing around with space-age jetpacks that defy contemporary science. But nobody else will admit to seeing them… and the story somehow does get weirder from there.

The Elves Dec 21, 2021

Show notes

Arizona might not seem like the typical setting for holiday magic, but for decades, some mysterious local “elves” have turned a spherical, scrubby-looking desert juniper out on I-17 into what has to have been one of America’s more unlikely Christmas spectacles; but who are they, and why are they so determined to light up the lonely landscape?

The Abduction Dec 07, 2021

Show notes

In 1976, a quartet of campers in the Maine wilderness would have an experience that would transform them into the Allagash Four--known in UFO circles as some of the most famous “alien abductees’ of all time. But when one of the men’s stories ran counter to the others, well--then things got a little more complicated.
