I recently drove across the country with CNN to produce a mini digital series documenting our trip from Washington, D.C. to Los Angeles where we would attend Politicon. If you’re not familiar with Politicon, that’s where the viral Chelsea Handler/Tomi Lahren conversation went down.

CNN’s COVER/LINE covers the intersection of politics and pop culture, and that’s exactly what we sent out to do. For 21 days, we interviewed a variety of artists, activists and entrepreneurs to capture their unique stories and thoughts. You can see all of the stories here but I included a recap of some of my favorites below.
