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: Rebecca Roberts
Personal jet packs are everywhere in old sci-fi movies. And the world saw a real-life demonstration of the technology in the Opening Ceremonies of the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles. So what’s the status of real-life personal propulsion devices today? Kojo is joined by a man dedicated to tracking down that answer.
