154: Daughters

This is a special episode. Most of the time here on What Was That Like, I talk to a regular person who has been through some type of extremely unusual situation. If you’ve just discovered this podcast, you can just scroll through the episode titles and see that we’ve heard a lot of REALLY big and unusual stories – and all of them are told first-hand, by the person who went through it. But a lot of times a listener will contact me and say, “Scott – I’ve just binged ALL of your past episodes and I need more! What’s another podcast where I can hear more stories like this?”. And my recommendation is this: The Secret Room. The tag line for The Secret Room is “a podcast about the stories no one ever tells”. If you like really interesting and unusual stories – and I know you do, because you’re listening to this show – you’ll definitely want to check out The Secret Room. The host is my friend Ben, and I think he and I have a lot in common. He has a lot of empathy for his guests, and he has a knack for finding stories that just make you sit back and think. And then you go and binge all the past episodes. So today, I’m playing for you one of my favorite episodes of The Secret Room. It’s called Daughters. I really liked this story for a bunch of different reasons, and I think you’ll enjoy it too. And this episode is ad-free for everyone. And of course at the end we’ll have a new Listener Story like we do on every episode here. You can find The Secret Room on the podcast app you’re using right now, or you can learn more about the show at the website – TheSecretRoomPodcast.com.
