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 the iconic waterway of Maryland and Virginia. But the Chesapeake Bay’s watershed extends across state lines, reaching into six states. And decisions made in distant communities– particularly farming practices in places like Pennsylvania and West Virginia– have profound effects downstream. We learn how commercial farming affects the Cheseapeake, and look at government efforts to address agricultural pollution.
