To Our Listeners

After 23 years delivering news, context and insight to the D.C. region, The Kojo Nnamdi Show will air its final episode on April 1, 2021. Although Kojo is stepping away from daily hosting, he will continue to host The Politics Hour each Friday with resident analyst Tom Sherwood — maintaining a vital forum for the public to engage with and hold elected public officials accountable. Additionally, Kojo will continue to serve as an ambassador for the station through his revamped “Kojo In Our Community” series, which will be recorded and heard on-air as “WAMU Presents” special programming.
