Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Most of us may still be in vacation mode, but local politicos are gearing up for next week’s Democratic convention. We’ll hear about the elbow-rubbing, partying and politicking about to start in Denver. And we’ll get an update on the flurry of last-minute construction as schools get ready for students’ return. Join us for our weekly review of the politics, policies, and personalities of the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia.
