WAMU Is Looking For "D.C. Gigs"

The Washington region's population balloons each work day, as hundreds of thousands of people clock in and out to keep our nation's capital ticking. Many of these people are devoting their time and talent to jobs you won't find anywhere else: from the man who collects the objects left at the Vietnam War Veterans Memorial to the taxi drivers who shuttle tourists and political power brokers through the city.

WAMU's Metro Connection is visiting these workers on the job in a series we call "D.C. Gigs." If you or someone you know has a "D.C. Gig" you'd like to share, fill out this form to tell us about it. You can also email us directly at insight@wamu.org.
