Between April 2012 and January 2016, I conducted over 60 hours of video interviews as well as lengthy telephone interviews with Birch Bayh, Bayh family members, a number of former Bayh staff members, political associates and former Senate colleagues.

Bayh family members interviewed were his wife Katherine “Kitty” Bayh and his son, former Indiana Governor and U.S. Senator Evan Bayh.
