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 Founding Church of Scientology in Washington, DC.
A former presidential retreat nestled deep in the Catoctin mountains in Frederick County has become an unexpected flash point between county residents and a group backed by the Church of Scientology. Trout Run, a 40-acre lodge near Camp David, will be converted to a drug-treatment facility if it can meet a zoning requirement designating it as a historic place. But the county council has delayed granting the designation as concerns from the public over Scientology’s practices more broadly, and its drug-treatment facilities in particular, have surfaced. We explore this unconventional property battle.
