Fantastic podcast. I've blown through about 75 episodes before I reviewed it. Ben is such a great interviewer. He's so respectful and builds true relationships with the guests. Dahlia Beta is so sorely missed. Hope she comes back.

What Was That Like
01:04:04

Surprise appearance! The next episode of the Secret Room isn’t due for a week.  But I wanted to take the opportunity to introduce you to a podcast that I love.  It’s called “What Was That Like?” and just like the Secret Room, guests share intimate, personal stories.

I know the host, Scott Johnson, and he has true empathy for his guests, giving them wide berth to tell their stories.  I know a lot you already listen to What Was That Like, but I bet many of you haven’t found it yet.   Scott and I are recommending each others podcasts to our audiences, and it’s about time because it’s a perfect match. 

Hear people share their extreme experiences, first hand, with Scott Johnson on What Was That Like, available on any podcast app or whatwasthatlike.com.

Today I present one of my favorites, “Danny Found a Baby in the Subway.”  Enjoy!

We produce 26 episodes of this podcast each year.  But we get hundreds of secrets.  Many are shorter and just can’t fill a whole episode.  And that leaves me torn, because we have all these wonderful stories, but no where to share them….  But as we close out the year, I thought this would be a great time to give them life.  So hang on for a special collection of secrets that are funny and heartfelt.  We’ve curated them just for you, to wrap up this year with a bow.  ~Ben
