Season 2, Episode 2: On the Campaign Trail with Melissa Benoist, Amy Chozick and Julie Plec of 'The Girls on the Bus'
Description
Amy is back with a conversation about the new show now streaming on Max, The Girls on the Bus.
The show stars Melissa Benoist as Sadie McCarthy, a scrappy and ambitious journalist covering a fictional Democratic presidential primary. It follows Sadie and three other women reporters as they navigate the campaign trail, while juggling their careers, personal lives — and relationships with one another.
The Girls on the Bus is inspired by the book “Chasing Hillary” by Amy Chozick, a former New York Times reporter. Amy’s book chronicled her experiences covering Hillary Clinton’s 2008 and 2016 presidential campaigns.
