Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Arlene Blum is a top-notch biochemist. But the world knows her best as a mountaineer, where she broke the glass ceiling of a very macho sport. She’s led climbs at Mt. Everest, Mt. McKinley, and Annapurna, among others. Blum joins Kojo to explore her journey from the Chicago suburbs to the top of the world’s most dangerous peaks.
