I used to listen to him everyday at lunch as well.
The guy was a genius with his foresight, knowledge, and the way that he presented his message. He must have had one hell of a crystal ball to make the predictions that he did.
I miss listening to him as much as I do Rush.

Yep! I remember “Stand By For News” at noon, then at 5:30 pm…”And that is…The Rest of the Story”. I was a lot younger then but still really enjoyed him on the radio! 😎
Everyday at noon. I even carried a small transistor radio while hunting and at noon I would put an earpiece in and listen. I had a friend that owned a medium size company and he flew to Chicago to make a pitch to Paul Harvey to advertise his product. Took him to lunch and he made the pitch and Mr. Harvey listened and ask questions, in the end Mr. Harvey said the product had many uses, but he did not know how he would use it in his daily life. Mr. Harvey told him he only speaks about products that he personally uses and believes in. He was a man of very strick integrity.

Paul Harvey had a gift for public speaking. A true master of delivery.
However, he seems to not understand the difference between the ozone hole and global warming, making the content of the clip linked in the opening post a garbled mess.
When I was in 8th grade, our teacher would have the class listen to Paul Harvey at noon. Someone wrote him a letter and he gave our class a shout out on air one day. He also sent our teacher an autographed picture.
My democrat mother listened to Paul every day in the 60s and 70s.
Oi, does he sound like a republican now!
