The Rest of the Story

English · Radio, Essays & Short Works

Paul Harvey’s The Rest of the Story presents brief, carefully shaped accounts of people and events, often revealing an unexpected detail that changes how a familiar story is understood. Harvey’s distinctive delivery—measured, conversational, and rich with pauses—guides each piece toward its concluding revelation.

This recording concerns golfer Ben Hogan and a car accident. The program’s appeal lies in the contrast between the public story and the lesser-known circumstances behind it, told in a compact radio narrative rather than an extended interview or discussion.

Harvey’s warm, authoritative voice gives the account an intimate, reflective tone. Listeners can expect a focused piece of storytelling built around a surprising turn and a memorable final line.
