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
Members of America’s artistic community are floating a petition for the Obama administration to create a cabinet-level position for arts and culture. But critics say the incoming White House team has more urgent priorities to address — and that too much government involvement may not be healthy for the arts. We explore the relationship between government, art and creativity.
Guests
- Blake Gopnik Chief art critic, The Washington Post
- David Smith Senior Lecturer in History, Baylor University
