Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
It’s been a challenging month for the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA). Trackfires and service delays have highlighted Metro’s ongoing maintenance needs. And Congress has waffled on long-term federal funding. So how do current challenges facing the system compare to the public policy environment when the Metro was first created? Kojo explores the history behind the headlines.
