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: Marc Fisher
Quirky, colorful license plates can show a driver’s support for everything from the Chesapeake Bay to the Tar Heels. But they have a controversial side too, as evidenced by the recent debate in Virginia’s legislature about whether to approve specialty plates proposed by abortion-rights advocates and their opponents. We look at how topics for plates get chosen and how much revenue they really generate.

- Stefan Lonce Author of the forthcoming book "LCNS2ROM - License to Roam: Vanity License Plates and the GR8 Stories They Tell." He's also editor of the Montauk Sun.
