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: Jim Asendio
The blend of serious and surreal in Washington, D.C. can be a dream come true for a sharp-tongued satirist. Christopher Buckley has tapped that well with his wacky, weird and self-important characters, who are often just slightly divorced from real figures in the headlines. He shares his take on the day’s news and discusses his latest book, which skewers baby boomers and bloggers.
