Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Is it time?
Baseball fans around the country are fixated this fall on whether the Chicago Cubs can win their first championship in more than a century. But lost in that hype is the opportunity the Washington Nationals have to move D.C. past a long, rich history of losing baseball in the nation’s capital. Kojo explores D.C.’s baseball history and how it affects the region’s psychology as fans gear up for a critical playoff game at Nationals Park.
