Our 10th Annual New Hampshire Newsmakers of the Year Show

New Hampshire Public Radio | By Keith Shields
Published December 29, 2012 at 10:30 AM EST

Twenty twelve was a year where presidential politics topped the headlines and we elected the first new Governor in 8 years.  A new Catholic Bishop begin his first year, while the Episcopal bishop stepped down. We had controversy at Exeter Hospital over a Hepatitis C outbrak and we lost a beloved political figure, Senator Warren Rudman.  We’ll look back at the top stories of 2012, see what's happened since those stories aired and how they may play out in 2013.  

Guests:

  • Dean Spiliotes - Civic Scholar in the School of Arts and Sciences at Southern New Hampshire University and author of the popular website NHpoliticalcapital.com.
  • Governor-Elect Maggie Hassan - Governor-elect for the State of New Hampshire.
  • Bishop Gene Robinson - The 9th Bishop of the Episcopal Church of New Hampshire.
  • Bishop Peter Libasci - 10th and current Catholic Bishop of the Diocese of Manchester. 
  • Dr. Jose Montero - Public Health Director for the State of New Hampshire.
  • Senator Judd Gregg - Former Senator and Governor of New Hampshire
