The Rest of the Story
Allen Poe After Death and No Tombstone

Lu par Paul Harvey
Paul Harvey’s The Rest of the Story turns overlooked details from history and everyday life into compact, surprising narratives. Harvey begins with a person or event listeners may recognize, then follows an unexpected thread toward the detail that gives the story its distinctive ending.
Harvey’s familiar, measured delivery is central to the program. He narrates each account himself, building curiosity through carefully chosen facts and pauses before revealing the final connection. The stories range across people, places, and events, offering brief portraits shaped around an unusual twist or little-known piece of background.
The result is an intimate, conversational listening experience: part historical anecdote, part mystery, and part human-interest story. Rather than relying on elaborate dramatization, the program draws its appeal from Harvey’s storytelling and the pleasure of discovering what lies behind the familiar version of a tale.
