## Resource

Welcome to The Georgia Politics Podcast! For this episode of our 1976 series, we step back into the golden age of radio with legendary broadcaster Paul Harvey. At a time when Americans gathered around their radios for news, commentary, and storytelling, Harvey's unmistakable voice became one of the most trusted — and influential — in the country. We explore how his daily broadcasts and the debut of "The Rest of the Story" in 1976 helped shape public opinion during a pivotal year in American politics and culture. From his signature delivery to his blend of news, patriotism, and human-interest storytelling, we examine why millions of listeners tuned in every day and how Harvey became a defining media figure of the era.
