Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Brin-Jonathan Butler, author of The Domino Diaries
Cuba has trained some of the world’s top boxers, and won more than 35 Olympic Gold Medals in the sport. But the life of a Cuban boxer, outside the ring, is far less glamorous than what we’ve come to expect from top athletes. We explore Cuban culture through the lens of boxing, in a society on the brink of unknown change.
