Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Over the last thirty years, Jim Hightower has worn many professional hats, from activist to politician to radio commentator. But he’s always provided a sharp-tongue and a Texan-take on the issues of the day. He joins Kojo to talk about his work and travels across the country, and that most iconoclastic species of American politics: the Texas progressive.
Guests
- Jim Hightower Syndicated columnist; also political radio commentator; and author, "Swim Against the Current: Even a Dead Fish Can Go with the Flow" (Wiley & Sons)
