Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
We count on the experts to tell us things like who to vote for, what to eat, and how to raise our children. But third party experts like professors, pediatricians, and watchdog groups are usually anything but neutral. A look at corporate America’s psychological war on consumers, and how "experts" are handpicked and cultivated to make you believe what they have to say.
