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
Every day, most of us interact with a number of people with whom we’re not particularly ‘close’ — like your regular bus driver or mailman. It might surprise you to learn that these people directly impact the quality of your life. Join us as we explore the surprising role of “consequential strangers.”

- Karen Fingerman Berner-Hanley Professor, Purdue University; Co-author, "Consequential Strangers: The Power of People Who Don't Seem to Matter...But Really Do" (Norton)
