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: Matthew Felling
If there’s one cultural critic who defined the early 20th century, it was H.L. Mencken. The prolific writer blasted the establishment and railed against injustice in elegant prose that remains the model for modern-day writers. From his fierce battles against censorship to his passionate love affairs, get a new look at the controversial “Bad Boy of Baltimore.”
Guests
- Marion Elizabeth Rodgers Author of "Mencken: The American Iconoclast" (Oxford University Press)
