Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.

But experts warn that a flood of legal challenges could cripple the global software industry. Join Kojo for a look at the new intersection of technology and the law.
Guests
- Ben Klemens Computer programmer and Guest Scholar at The Brookings Institution Center on Social and Economic Dynamics; Also author of "Math You Can't Use: Patents, Copyrights, and Software" (Brookings Press)
