Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Kinky Friedman defies categorization. He’s a Jewish cowboy, country singer, humor novelist, magazine columnist, founder of an animal-rescue ranch, a former (and likely future) independent candidate for Texas governor, and now a cigar entrepreneur. He joins Kojo to reflect on his career, and explore how today’s social and political issues affect the lives of everyday Americans.
Guests
- Kinky Friedman Country singer, humorist, and former Texas gubanatorial candidate; and author of"You can Lead a Politician to Water, But You Can't Make Him Think: Ten Commandments for Texas Politics" (Simon & Schuster)
