Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Recent economic turmoil has been particularly hard on media companies. National Public Radio has weathered the storm better than most, but yesterday it announced plans to cut seven percent of its workforce — including well-known on-air correspondents. We’ll discuss how the economic downturn will affect the future of public radio.
