Over the past few months, Michigan Radio hosted live call-in shows with the candidates for Michigan governor and U.S. Senate.
The broadcasts were part of the Michigan Public Radio Network’s “Michigan Calling” series of 2014 election specials.
Rick Pluta, the Michigan Public Radio Network’s state Capitol bureau chief, hosted each hour-long program.
Listeners had the choice of calling in or submitting questions via Facebook at “Michigan Calling,” or Twitter using the hashtag: #MICalling.
