What Was That Like - True Stories. Real People.David couldn't find the cabin
My favorite author is Jack London. His style of writing
paints a very vivid picture in my mind. As I read his stories, it feels like
I’m right there in the middle of it. One of his most well-known works is titled
To Build A Fire. This is the opening paragraph of that story.
Day had dawned cold and gray when the man turned aside

What Was That Like - True Stories. Real People.Scott was locked up in a foreign jail
As human beings, we are often very protective of our own
sense of personal justice – and injustice.
When I was a child, I had a teacher who – to me – seemed
very unfair. If one of the kids in the class did something like write a bad
word on the chalkboard, she would ask the entire class who did it. She really
did her best to find the culprit, and carry out punishment.
But sometimes she just couldn’t figure it out. No one would
admit it, and there wasn’t enough evi...2025-07-111h 43

What Was That Like - True Stories. Real People.Scott was an undercover FBI agent
Hey, this is Scott and you’re listening to What Was That
Like.
And the name of the podcast, What Was That Like, was chosen
very specifically – because that’s what I ask people who are guests on the
show. They’ve just been through something really unusual, like being attacked
by a monkey, or saving the life of a stranger, or some other crazy situation.
And I ask them to tell all of us – what was that like. All the details. So
that’s what we do here, every other Friday.
