Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
In 1949, Pacifica Radio hit the airwaves with its diverse, unconventional, and often controversial brand of broadcasting. In the first installment of Public Interest’s new Series on Radio as a Medium, join Kojo and guests as they examine the cultural and political currents that shaped Pacifica’s first 50 years, its origins as the first listener- supported radio station, whether it has acheived its mission, and where its going from here.
Guests
- Matthew Lasar Author, "Pacifica Radio: The Rise of an Alternative Network" (Pub: Temple University Press)
- Larry Josephson The Radio Foundation
- Askia Muhammad Reporter "Washington Informer," former Program Director at WPFW-fm in Washington, DC
