Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
While most people find annoyance and frustration in Metro, one Alexandria man found a muse. After moving to Washington seven years ago, Jason Mendelson saw the Metro system as a source of inspiration for his music. He embarked on a years-long mission to write a song about every single Metrorail station. Kojo discusses Mendelson’s project, which was completed earlier this year with his 91st song.
