Paul Harvey’s The Rest of the Story
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

That was awesome!! Never heard that one before…we used to go out and tune in a radio at I think 1:00 in the afternoon just to listen to those when I was young!
For a modern version of “The Rest Of The Story”, I would suggest Mire Rowe’s homage to Paul Harvey.

Originally the stories were 5-10 minutes. You can scroll down the 270+ listings for the shorter ones. The latest 100 or so are audio versions of his longer video podcast. There is a 30 second commercial beginning/ending each episode.
Suggest starting with his introduction (2:13), at bottom (or beginning) of the list.
A great example is #136 – A Boy And His Dog (6:30)
I mess those broadcasts.
Dang I feel old today.
Man, we were a better country when Paul Harvey was around.
I agree that Mike Rowe’s show is great, but I think Paul Harvey was just one of the great story tellers of the day. Charles Kuralt and Charles Osgood also had amazing stories. I like the Tracing The Path podcast, myself. I don’t think Mike quite captures the essence of what Paul Harvey did. But I do like the longer stories that give you the same feeling.
Add this one along with Mike Rowe’s https://open.spotify.com/show/0N4MXj7uoVxBxqlA0y4z7e
