Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Three out of five American Kids can’t find Iraq on a map. But maps can communicate far more than simple geography, from environmental trends to global inequality. We look at new approaches to global geography, and what cartographers are revealing about our neighborhood, around the corner and across the world.
