What Was That Like - True Stories. Real People.

“What Was That Like” is a gripping podcast that delves into the raw, first-hand experiences of individuals who have faced extraordinary and often life-altering events. Hosts Scott Johnson and Meredith Hackwith Edwards skillfully guide storytellers through their personal narratives, covering a wide spectrum of harrowing incidents from true crimes like sexual assault and scams to terrifying accidents and natural disasters. The podcast excels in exploring not just “what happened,” but the profound emotional and psychological journey of survival, resilience, and the “inspirational outcome” of overcoming adversity. It's tailored for listeners fascinated by human endurance, personal accounts of trauma and recovery, and the lessons learned from extreme situations, fostering a deeper understanding of human nature and the complexities of trust. The inclusion of community-driven 'Tuesday Question' episodes adds a layer of listener engagement and broader human interest reflection.
