Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
A top Al Qaeda leader is captured in Afghanistan. The Secretary of State warns about military dictatorship in Iran. and a longtime Democratic senator announces his retirement. Daily headlines can highlight (and at times hide) the important political and social issues of the day. Broadcast veteran Marvin Kalb is back to help us explore “the long view” of today’s headlines.
