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 massive earthquake that struck Chile this weekend was 500 times more powerful than the one that crippled Haiti a few weeks ago. But Chile appears to have suffered far less immediate damage. We explore the political and economic history of Chile, of one of Latin America’s wealthiest nations, and examine how that history is shaping the response to this week’s disaster.
