I was traveling recently, and I got in this Uber and started talking to the driver, and when I heard his voice I said, “Kevin, you need to have a podcast!” I don’t know if he’ll do that, but he did graciously agree to record that quick opener for me, just before I got out of his car.

438 – keep that number in your head and I’ll come back to it in a minute.

By now you have probably figured out, this episode is not going to be the typical type of episode where I talk with someone who has been through some kind of unusual situation. I’ll be back here in a week with one of those stories.

But today, you’re about to hear an episode from the Raw Audio series. You may have heard me talk about the Raw Audio episodes in the past, but you might not have actually heard one of these episodes unless you’re a paid supporter of the podcast – which many of you are, and I appreciate that.

When you sign up to support the show, one of the benefits of that subscription is the bonus content – these are the Raw Audio episodes. They’re called that because they are truly raw, and real life. You’re gonna hear actual 911 emergency calls, and the story that goes with that call. This is about as authentic as it gets.

And you might notice that throughout this episode, you will not hear any ad breaks. The Raw Audio episodes never have ads. And not just that, but as a paid supporter, you won’t hear any ads on ANY of the What Was That Like episodes.

If you enjoy this episode, I invite you to sign up to support the show. Remember that number I mentioned a minute ago, 438? That’s how many listeners are already supporters. They subscribe for a few dollars each month, so they get to hear ALL the Raw Audio episodes and never any ads. And right now there are 52 Raw Audio episodes live and ready for you to binge when you sign up and become supporter number 439.

After you hear these three stories, I’ll come back in to let you know exactly how you can subscribe, because there are a few different ways you can do it, depending on what kind of phone you have and what app you use to listen to podcasts. It’s really simple though. But for now, please enjoy this ad-free episode of Raw Audio.
