Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Guest Host: Marc Fisher
It’s a corner of Washington, D.C. with rich history, abundant green space and diverse communities. But most citywide discussions about Ward 8 focus on crime and poverty. Now, a fresh wave of local bloggers is trying to change the conversation. We talk with three Ward 8 bloggers about their neighborhoods, and how they’re using the Internet to strengthen local communities.
Guests
- David Garber Author, "And Now, Anacostia"
