Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
George Pelecanos writes gripping crime stories in novels and on TV’s The Wire. His latest book is based on an actual violent incident that occurred in Montgomery County in the early 1970s. He joins Kojo to talk about the way our communities have changed since then, and ways they haven’t.
