Growing up in the 70s, I spent summers working with my dad, always carrying a small transistor radio. During lunch breaks, I’d listen to Paul Harvey, whose voice now brings back warm memories of family and simpler times.

From 1952 to 2008, Paul Harvey’s broadcasts reached up to 24 million listeners weekly. His show, “The Paul Harvey News,” aired on 1,200 radio stations and was a staple for many. His segment, “The Rest of the Story,” became particularly iconic.
Paul Harvey offered more than just stories; he provided wisdom and a calming presence. His voice invited moments of self-reflection, making listeners think deeply and reassess their views. “This man would teach you a lot about life if you just listen.”
Before his television career, Harvey wrote an essay that he updated over the years. In this 1996 audio clip, Harvey’s “predictions” are startlingly accurate, whether taken symbolically or literally.
