    The Listener Stories of 2024

    We are at the end of 2024. It’s been a great year for me, and I hope it has been for you too. As you probably know, every episode of What Was That Like ends with a Listener Story. This is just a 5-10 minute personal story, sent in by a listener. I’m always looking for new listener stories, so I’d love for YOU to send one in. Just record it on your phone in a quiet environment and email to me – [email protected]. And these stories are a very popular part of the show. They’re always the very last thing in an episode, so it’s worth staying around til the end! And our tradition is, for the last episode of the year, which is today, I put together all of the Listener Stories for that year into one full episode. So today you have more than 3 hours of storytelling. I know you probably can’t sit down and listen to all 3 hours at one time, but these are short stories so it’s easy to break the episode into bite-size pieces and just listen when you have a chance. So – enjoy these stories, and get ready for the new year because I’m working on a bunch of amazing episodes and crazy stories. Looking forward to seeing you here in 2025.

    Jeff lost his arm

    Have you ever seen stories of someone who was born with no arms? I’ve seen videos and I think maybe even a documentary like that. Usually they will profile one particular person, who is now an adult, and this person lives a full, happy life - with no arms. Which means, of course, that they do a lot of things with their feet. And these people are amazing – they have learned to do almost anything with their feet, that the rest of us rely on our hands for. They cut up their kids’ food for them, they drive cars, they compete athletically… it’s just their normal, so they’ve learned how to get stuff done in spite of having no arms. Jeff was not one of those people. He was actually born with both arms. But as a teenager, working a summer job, he was involved in an accident that meant one of his arms was pretty violently pulled off. In this Flashback episode, Jeff talks about how that happened, and what he did in the minutes immediately following the accident. And here’s what’s kind of funny – Jeff told this story a few years ago here on the podcast, and in spite of how horrifying it is, I have had so many listeners tell me they loved hearing it because Jeff is so funny! And after his story, you’ll hear the brief modern-day conversation I recently had with Jeff to find out what he’s up to more these days – and it turns out, he’s STILL being funny. If you’d like to contact Jeff: [email protected] He’s also in the WWTL podcast Facebook group: WhatWasThatLike.com/facebook Full show notes and pictures for this episode are here: https://WhatWasThatLike.com/200 Graphics for this episode by Bob Bretz.

    Fenna had a bizarre addiction

    Content warning for today’s episode, which includes a brief discussion of suicidal thoughts. When you think of the word “addiction”, what comes to your mind? I think for most people, the most common thought would be drugs or alcohol. For some people, it’s very easy to fall into that. I’m always thankful that I never was interested in smoking, because tobacco addiction is a really difficult thing to beat. And there are other categories – you can be addicted to eating, gambling, dieting, or even petty crimes such as compulsive shoplifting. Today’s guest is Fenna. She stumbled into her addiction without even realizing it. In fact, she works in mental health and she didn’t even realize that what she was experiencing WAS an addiction. Fenna was addicted to a person. Fenna’s YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@followingfenna If you’d like to contact Fenna, you can do that through her website: https://FollowingFenna.com Subreddit for limerence: https://www.reddit.com/r/limerence/ Full show notes and pictures for this episode are here: https://WhatWasThatLike.com/199 Graphics for this episode by Bob Bretz.
