Paul Harvey Aurandt (September 4, 1918 – February 28, 2009) was an American radio broadcaster whose career spanned over six decades. He was best known for his news and commentary program, "The Rest of the Story," which aired on more than 1,200 radio stations across the United States. Harvey was a master storyteller, and his broadcasts were known for their unique blend of humor, patriotism, and conservative values.
Early Life and Career
Harvey was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 1918. He developed a passion for radio at a young age, and by the time he was 14, he had his own radio show on a local station. After graduating from high school, Harvey attended the University of Tulsa, where he studied journalism.
In 1940, Harvey dropped out of college to join the U.S. Army Air Forces during World War II. He served as a pilot and flew over 40 combat missions. After the war, Harvey returned to Tulsa and resumed his broadcasting career.
"The Rest of the Story"
In 1951, Harvey launched "The Rest of the Story," a daily news and commentary program that would become his signature show. The program featured Harvey's unique storytelling style, in which he would take a seemingly ordinary news story and add context and background information to create a more compelling narrative.
"The Rest of the Story" quickly became one of the most popular radio programs in the United States. Harvey's broadcasts were known for their conservative slant, but he was always careful to present both sides of the issue. He was also a strong supporter of the military and law enforcement.
Later Career and Legacy
Harvey continued to host "The Rest of the Story" until his retirement in 2008. He died in 2009 at the age of 90.
Harvey was a major figure in American broadcasting for over six decades. He was a master storyteller who entertained and informed millions of listeners. His conservative commentary was often controversial, but he always presented his views with conviction and humor.
Harvey's legacy continues to live on through his work. "The Rest of the Story" is still broadcast on many radio stations across the United States, and his books and recordings remain popular with his fans.
Paul Harvey was a true American icon. He was a master storyteller, a conservative commentator, and a passionate supporter of the military and law enforcement. His legacy continues to live on through his work, which continues to entertain and inform audiences today.
