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 history of American beer, in many ways, is the history of the United States itself. American craft breweries are now on the forefront of complex conversations about science, business and innovation. Food Wednesday explores American history through the prism of beer – and finds out why the Smithsonian is embracing the brew as a vehicle for learning about forces that shape America.
