By day (and many nights), Hampton Dellinger is an attorney with Robinson, Bradshaw & Hinson. But once a week, Hampton changes hats and hosts a show on 1360 WCHL. The show’s topics have been as broad as Hampton’s interests and experiences including: law (practiced for over 17 years), government and policy (served as a top official in the NC Department of Justice and the Governor's Office), politics (received 445,000 votes when he ran for Lt. Governor), sports (played 2nd base for Chapel Hill High School), writing (has published in the Harvard Law Journal and authored a children’s book), and music (can’t play or sing but loves to listen).
