Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick finds himself at the center of a scandal — one that involves an extra-marital affair, perjury, government firings, and a $9 million lawsuit. Many are calling on Kilpatrick to resign, though he appears to be standing firm. Kojo looks at the way “the personal & the political” intersect, how media covers scandal, and what Detroit could learn from the District (or visa versa).
