As we enter debate season in state and national politics, we are looking back at North Carolina's most famous debates and how they compare to today.
U.S. Senator Jesse Helms and former North Carolina Governor Jim Hunt were political heavyweights who squared off in 1984. Both men were in their second terms and could not have been any different ideologically. It made for some intense debates where they grilled each other from across the table.
On this week’s episode of Tying It Together With Tim Boyum, Tim and Ben talk to the men who made those debates happen. Hear all the behind-the-scenes stories of what was, at the time, the most expensive U.S. Senate race in the nation’s history.
Gary Pearce and Carter Wrenn's incredible stories and insight are a must listen!
