Harvey delivered thousands of “The Rest of the Story” broadcasts, which aired six days a week from 1976 until his death in 2009.

Most of his stories used the same framework…

✓ The signature opening (“Now… the rest of the story”)

✓ The setup

✓ The challenge

✓ The surprising twist

✓ The takeaway

✓ The signature closing (“Because now… you know the rest of the story”)

The best storytellers ASSEMBLE content using frameworks. The “Rest of the Story” Framework is one of many.

Frameworks enable broadcasters and marketers to churn out dozens, hundreds, even thousands of stories without getting stuck…

And those stories help them build adoring audiences who tune in and stay tuned.
