Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
The National Zoo is a Smithsonian institution like no other– part museum, part research facility, part repository for species on the brink of extinction. Dennis Kelly took the helm of the National Zoo this winter. He joins Kojo to discuss new construction, panda politics, and the challenges of breeding animals in captivity.
