Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
House Speaker Newt Gingrich made a pledge more than a decade ago to make Washington, D.C. “the best capital city in the world.” Years later, some experts say we’re not even close to achieving that goal. Join Kojo as we talk about obstacles to the District’s long-term prosperity and the role Congress and the Federal government should play in putting the city on the path to success.
Guests
- Walter Smith Executive Director, D.C. Appleseed
- Alice Rivlin Director of the Greater Washington Research Program, The Brookings Institution
