America 250 | Day 7 | Don’t Watch the Sky

The Sterling Report is a Daily News behind the News Report. As well as a tribute to Paul Harvey, It is also a tribute to the classic broadcasters and to those who appreciate a mid-century aesthetic and the power of a well-told story. Every day, we look past the noise to find the heart of the matter, delivering the essential headlines with the signature cadence of a classic radio. Not to copy a legend, for that can never be done, but to keep a tradition of storytelling alive. In an age of "soundbites" and "spin," we still believe in the power of the story... the rhythm of the truth... and the quiet ironies that make us human. RSSVERIFY
