Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Humanitarian groups have helped populations-in-crisis for centuries. But, with emergency aid now increasingly professionalized and sophisticated, aid workers find themselves facing many new practical and philosophical ambiguities. Kojo explores how past lessons are being applied to today’s conflicts.

- John Norris Chief of Political Affairs, United Nations Mission in Nepal; author "The Disaster Gypsies: Humanitarian Workers in the World's Deadliest Conflicts" (Praeger Security International)
- Alex De Waal Program Director, Social Sciences Research Council; and Fellow, Global Equity Initiative, Harvard University
