Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
The story of Ebenezer Scrooge and his transformation from miserly grinch into warm-hearted benefactor is a tale that’s well-known to many Americans. But it’s a story that has belonged to Victorian-era England — until now. We hear about a new stage version of Charles Dickens’ story, set in Washington, D.C. during World War II.
