240: The Listener Stories of 2025

Well here we are at the end of 2025. It’s been a crazy year in a lot of different ways.

And it’s a tradition here for the What Was That Like podcast for the last episode of the year to be a collection of all of this year’s Listener Stories.

For every main episode of the podcast, we end it with a story sent in by a listener. It can be something happy, sad, funny – just about anything – as long as it’s something interesting that happened to you. We limit these to around 5-10 minutes, and all you have to do is record it on your phone and email it to me at Scott@WhatWasThatLike.com

So what we have here in this final episode of 2025 is over 3 hours of those listener stories from this past year. Keep in mind that some of these stories deal with sensitive topics such as suicide or other things that could be triggering for some listeners. Feel free to fast forward to the next story if you need to.

And now, here are the Listener Stories of 2025.
