Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Guest Host: Frank Stasio
Citing security concerns, the D.C. Council temporarily banned the transport of certain hazardous materials within two miles of the Capitol. We look at this policy debate, but also examine what constitutes a "hazmat," which businesses rely on them, how they’re transported, and what this ban means for our local economy.

- Dr. Gerald Poje Former board member of the U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Board
