Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Local, state and federal governments compile hundreds of databases filled with information that could improve the day-to-day lives of their citizens. But most of that data never makes it to the public in a user-friendly format. Tech Tuesday explores how non-profits and cities like Washington D.C. are enlisting help from civic-minded developers outside the government.

- Chris Willey Interim Chief Technology Officer, District of Columbia
- Clay Johnson Director of Sunlight Labs, Sunlight Foundation
