Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Say "rural America" and many people think of rolling farmland and quaint towns. Others imagine dwindling populations and economic woes. A look at the myths and realities of life in America’s rural communities. And why it often takes a natural disaster or a national tragedy to get rural issues into the headlines.
