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
Satire is a cultural and political tradition in the United States — a tool that has been used to challenge the status quo for generations. But the line that separates the provocative from the insulting is often a blurry one — as demonstrated by ongoing international controversies about cartoon depictions of the Islamic prophet Muhammed. We explore the nexus of humor, satire and culture.

- Kevin "KAL" Kallaugher Artist-in-Residence, University of Maryland, Baltimore County; Political Cartoonist, The Economist
