Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Sports stadiums are back in the local headlines. We look at D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty’s controversial proposal to use city money on a new soccer stadium at Poplar Point. Plus, we examine Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley’s plan to collect DNA samples from people arrested – but not necessarily convicted – of some crimes. Join us for our weekly review of the politics, policies, and personalities of our region.
