Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Less than five years ago, the Superdome served as a refugee camp in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. But the refurbished stadium recently served as the venue for a championship season — the New Orleans Saints are set to square off against the Indianapolis Colts in the Super Bowl this Sunday. We explore how the hurricane altered the emotional and financial relationships between New Orleans and the Saints, and what they say about the future of a recovering city.
