The weirdest and wildest political stories
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.
