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 some view these social media celebrities as democratic tastemakers, others are puzzled and even concerned about the line between online content and advertising. How have social media platforms changed the local marketing industry? And what is it like to be Instagram-famous in the D.C. region?
