Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. I keep the website clean from pop-ups and annoying demands. Instead, I depend entirely on my readers to support me. Though this means I am sacrificing some income, it also means that I remain entirely independent from outside pressure. By depending solely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, no one can threaten me with censorship. You don't like what I write, you can simply go elsewhere.

1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.

 

2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.
 

3. A Paypal Donation:

You can also support me by buying one of my books, as noted in the boxes interspersed throughout the webpage or shown in the menu above. And if you buy the books through the ebookit links, I get a larger cut and I get it sooner.


Paul Harvey’s The Rest of the Story

An evening pause: An example of undaunted courage.

Genesis cover

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

    FYI–
    There is a bit of Paul Harvey audio housed at the Archive.
    -> https://archive.org/
    (you can search from the main page or go into their audio sub-collections)
    As always, no registration, free to download, and no adverts.

    Hmm….. I was not aware his full name was Paul Harvey Aurandt.

    Part of his FBI file is here–>

    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.

    https://mikerowe.com/podcast/

    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
