Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Kojo Nnamdi and Diane Rehm.
It’s the stuff of public radio legend. Diane Rehm began her career in radio as a volunteer at WAMU in the early ’70s and eventually became host of her own talk show distributed by NPR, the long-running and powerful Diane Rehm Show. Now, she’s readying for a shift away from the mic and stepping into a number of new roles, including advocate for the ‘right to die’ movement. Kojo talks with Diane about her new memoir, the loss of her longtime husband and what’s next for her.
