Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
For some people, politics is a contact sport. But for Calvin Trillin, it’s poetry in motion — literally. We talk with Trillin about the moments in the 2008 presidential campaign that inspired his latest work, and how he found his muse in our political system.
Guests
- Calvin Trillin "Deadline Poet" for "The Nation" Magazine; Also author most recently of "Deciding the Next Decider: The 2008 Presidential Race in Rhyme" (Random House)
