Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
For kids, summertime means hours of fun in local playgrounds and on backyard swing-sets. But each year, more than one hundred and fifty thousand children are injured and twenty die on recreation equipment. A discussion of playground safety and a review of quality standards at specific parks in Maryland, Virginia, and D.C.
Guests
- Rachel Weintraub Staff Attorney, US PIRG
- Teri Hendy Executive Board Member, National Playground Safety Institute; also President of Site Masters, Inc (a playground design and consulting firm)
