It’s Election Week in America–and if you’re like us, you’re probably a little burned out with politics. So we’re offering up something different. This week, we ask three veteran political reporters a single question: what’s the most bizarre story you've ever covered?
Featuring:
- Barry Yeoman, freelance writer and contributor at The Assembly
- Jim Morrill, former politics reporter at the Charlotte Observer
- Dawn Vaughan, Capitol Bureau Chief at The News & Observer
Special thanks this week goes out to WUNC’s Colin Campbell and Kate Sheppard of The Assembly.
