Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
It’s one of the oldest genres of American music, anchored in the mountains of Appalachia with roots spanning three continents. But the golden age of “Old-time music” was almost a century ago. Kojo speaks with preservationists and practitioners about the past and future of Old-time music, and gets an in-studio performance.
Guests
