Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Fiction fans may know Barbara Kingsolver for best-sellers like “Animal Dreams” and “The Poisonwood Bible”. But she’s also a trained biologist, dedicated to understanding the human relationship with our environment. She joins Kojo to reflect on the year her family vowed to eat only locally-produced food, and ended up learning a lot about flowering peanut plants, turkey mating, and themselves.
