Intrepid spot news reporter Monica Miller, who has covered New Jersey for years, recently scored the mother of all Mother’s Day feature stories for WHYY in Philadelphia. The story is about how her mother struck an unlikely friendship with Mother Teresa of Calcutta. But Monica’s own life has been a journey that begins with her being cast in a national touring company for the Broadway musical, “Annie.” She later finds herself embedding with journalists risking their lives in Cameroon, and then catering to the needs of Civil War re-enactors as she worked at the National Archives. All of this happens before she got around to covering politics in New Jersey for WCBS 880 AM and WBGO 88.3 FM. This episode is sponsored by The GI Go Fund's "Jeans For Troops Day," May 21.
