Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Some call it a play, some call it a lecture, some call it a demonstration. All call it compelling. In “My Trip to Al-Qaeda,” journalist and screenwriter Lawrence Wright exposes the story behind the story — bringing to the stage the tale of how he traveled thousands of miles over five years and conducted more than five hundred interviews to write his 2007 Pulitzer Prize-winning book “The Looming Tower.”
