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
Journalist Masha Gessen came to the United States as a teenager, when her family left the former Soviet Union to begin a new life in Boston. In her newest book, she explores the lives of the Tsarnaev brothers, whose family history stretches from Chechnya to New England, and the bombings at the 2013 Boston Marathon. We chat with Gessen about what she learned when she set out to tell the human stories behind the tragedy.
