KOJO AND CAROL AT THE GEORGE TOWN CLUB IN 2014
There is an interesting, if harrowing, story behind my interview with Kojo Nnamdi, the iconic host of his own DC-centric talk show on WAMU/PBS public radio. The Q&A Cafe interview that is linked to here was a second try, because our first attempt, taped at The Georgetown Ritz-Carlton, ended abruptly in near disaster. Just as we started to roll tape the heat of the TV lights unleashed the sprinkler system, which gushed with such force it started knocked equipment onto the stage where we were doing the interview! Everyone ran for the doors. Kojo and I sat still in shock. There was damage to the room but fortunately no people were hurt. We were not invited back by the Ritz and founded our new home at The George Town Club, where this interview at last happened. Kojo is terrific. Enjoy it.
