Paul Harvey's The Rest of the Story

A Spaniard in Space: Former Enemies

English · Radio

Paul Harvey’s The Rest of the Story turns brief accounts of people and events into compact historical mysteries. Harvey begins with a striking detail or familiar version of a story, then gradually reveals the unexpected background that gives it a new meaning.

Presented in Harvey’s distinctive, measured broadcast style, each installment is a self-contained spoken narrative. The program draws on history, public life, and human experience, using carefully paced narration and a final reveal to connect the opening anecdote with its fuller context.

“A Spaniard in Space: Former Enemies” points to a story of an unlikely connection across former divisions. The appeal lies in hearing how a seemingly small detail can reshape the story—and in Harvey’s signature closing thought: “And now you know… the rest of the story.”
