Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Dennis Stockton kept a diary the entire time he was on death row — recording among other things, official corruption, musings on his daily routine, and the details of a successful escape by six fellow death-row inmates. Two months before his execution, he became a columnist for the local newspaper. Two journalists who followed his remarkable life and death join Kojo.
Guests
