Surprise appearance! The next episode of the Secret Room isn't due for a week.  But I wanted to take the opportunity to introduce you to a podcast that I love.  It's called "What Was That Like?" and just like the Secret Room, guests share intimate, personal stories.

Today I present one of my favorites, "Danny Found a Baby in the Subway."  Enjoy! Ben
