The Rest of the Story
And Naya Nuki Helped Lewis and Clark
by
Read by Paul Harvey
Paul Harvey’s The Rest of the Story presents brief, carefully shaped accounts of people and events, often revealing an unexpected detail or lesser-known connection behind a familiar name. Harvey’s distinctive delivery—measured, conversational, and marked by deliberate pauses—makes each story feel like a personal discovery shared directly with the listener.
The program is built around compact narrated stories rather than a cast of dramatic characters. Harvey supplies the context, guides the listener through the account, and saves its revealing turn for the close. The title “And Naya Nuki Helped Lewis and Clark” points to a story about a figure connected with the explorers’ journey, told in the program’s biographical, historical style.
Warm and quietly suspenseful, the series makes history accessible through vivid details and surprising perspectives. Its appeal lies in Harvey’s assured voice and the satisfying shift from what seems familiar to what has been overlooked.
