Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Guest Host: Marc Fisher
Last month, a neighborhood in Arlington was shaken by the news that one man had hundreds of snakes in his house — some dead, and many alive. The discovery quickly led to county regulations placing a limit on the number of snakes one person can house without needing a permit. But it also led to many questions — what snakes are native to our area and which aren’t? How to tell a poisonous snake from a non-venomous one? And why does everyone say anti-venom rather than the proper term ‘anti-venin.’ Get answers to all your snake questions.
