Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Two weeks ago, Thailand’s military ousted the Prime Minister in a bloodless coup. Westerners were shocked, but Thais took it in stride, since the coup had the support of Thailand’s king. Join Kojo to learn more about the situation, including the fascinating story of King Bhumibol Adulyadej, the world’s longest-sitting living monarch.
