Every week I’m interviewing interesting people in Idaho and around the world!
My guests today might look familiar to you. I spoke with them four years and they are some of my all-time favorite guests.
Mike Rowe has hosted many hit programs, including “Dirty Jobs” and “Returning the Favor.” He’s also behind the popular podcast “The Way I Heard It with Mike Rowe.”

His mother, Peggy Rowe, is America’s favorite grandmother and has written several amazing books. Her newest one came out this week and is called “Oh No, Not The Home.”
I had a wonderful chat with Mike and Peggy. Here’s what I asked them:
- Peggy, what made you decide to write another book and what is this one about?
- Mike, what did you think when your mom told you she was writing “Oh No, Not the Home” and were you worried she might share embarrassing facts about you?
- Mike and Peggy, does your family have any special traditions that you can share with me?
- Peggy, you’ve done a lot over your life. Is there anything you still hope to accomplish?
- Mike, I have the same question for you. What is one thing you really hope to do in the next few years?
- Mike, a few months ago, you released a movie called “Something to Stand For.” Have you ever had to stand up for something while others around you were staying silent or felt differently than you?
- Peggy, what was your favorite meal to make Mike, Scott and Phil when they were growing up? Do you still cook for them when you’re all together?
BONUS QUESTIONS
- Mike, when I interviewed you in 2021, you told me a story you’d never shared before about your most embarrassing moment on TV. My grandma laughed so hard she cried. Can you share another funny moment you’ve had in public?
- Peggy and Mike, I live in Idaho and we are known for our potatoes. What’s your favorite way to have a potato?
- Peggy and Mike, can you share a piece of advice that might help me and other kids my age?
