Paul Harvey: The Rest of the Story
Howland Valentine's Day Cards
by
Read by Paul Harvey
Paul Harvey’s The Rest of the Story presents brief, carefully shaped radio narratives about people and events whose familiar outlines conceal a surprising detail. Harvey’s distinctive delivery—measured, conversational, and rich with pauses—guides each story toward its revealing conclusion.
The program’s appeal lies in the way it turns a compact piece of history or biography into a small mystery. Listeners follow the account as it adds context and unexpected connections, then hear Harvey deliver the final piece that gives the story its meaning. The title “Howland Valentine's Day Cards” suggests a story centered on that subject.
Warm and quietly suspenseful rather than sensational, the series rewards close listening and leaves room to reflect on how a little-known detail can change the way a familiar story is understood.
