Kojo For Kids welcomes Abby Wambach to the show on Monday, February 22 at 12:30. Listen live by streaming the show on this page or by tuning in to 88.5 FM in the Washington, D.C. region. Kids can call in with questions at 800-433-8850.
Abby Wambach is a soccer legend. She’s led the U.S. Women’s National Team to World Cup victory and won two Olympic Gold medals. And she long held the record for goals scored in international play.
Off the field, Wambach has become a different kind of hero — one who fights for people who are paid less and otherwise discriminated against because of their their gender, race or who they love. She’s also recently published a book for kids, “Wolfpack: How Young People Will Find Their Voice, Unite Their Pack, and Change the World.”
We welcome Wambach to the show and the students from our “school of the week,” Tyler Elementary School in Southeast Washington. We know they’ll have questions for Wambach, and we want to hear your questions too — if you’re a kid.
This show is part of the “Kojo For Kids” series, a Kojo Nnamdi Show segment featuring guests of special interest to young listeners. Though Kojo has been on WAMU 88.5 for 23 years, this is the first time he has had the opportunity to reach out to an audience of kids, most of whom until recently had been in school during our live broadcast. We’re excited to hear from our youngest listeners! Join us!
