Contenders
Series produced by Radio Diaries

Portraits of some of America’s most original presidential candidates.
There have been 43 presidents in American history. But the names of the hundreds who sought the office – and lost – are often forgotten. "Contenders" tells the stories of some of the most groundbreaking and unusual presidential candidates from elections past.
Produced by Radio Diaries, this series weaves together archival news clips, first-person accounts and home recordings to create sound-rich portraits of candidates that changed the course of America’s political history...and others who didn't. Originally broadcast on NPR's All Things Considered. http://www.radiodiaries.org/tag/contenders/
