Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
The Foreign Service has long sought to recruit our nation’s best and brightest. But there was one thing it couldn’t offer to many people who signed up — the chance to be an ambassador. Now, President Obama says he’d like to open more of the top jobs to career State Department diplomats. Join Kojo as we explore whether that reform is likely to happen and what the change could mean for the U.S. foreign policy establishment.
Guests
- Teddy Taylor Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of State, Bureau of Human Resources, U.S. Department of State
- Steve Kashkett Vice President, American Foreign Service Association
- Edward Peck Former Chief of Mission in Baghdad and Former Ambassador to Mauritania; President of Foreign Services International
