W. Kamau Bell: ‘We Need to Talk About Cosby’

<p>W. Kamau Bell <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/dk/podcast/w-kamau-bell-fights-hate/id1456474041?i=1000437393267" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">returns</a> to the podcast to go deep on his illuminating new four-part documentary series ‘We Need to Talk About Cosby.’ And with his career as both a comedian and filmmaker on the line, he holds nothing back. This sprawling conversation covers everything from Bell’s early admiration for Bill Cosby to the shattering of those illusions when his rape allegations came to light to why he thought his big project might be dead when Cosby was suddenly released from prison last summer. We also talk about why ‘The Cosby Show’ cast members have been so reluctant to speak out against “America’s Dad,” whether Bell is able to separate the art from the artist and still appreciate Cosby as a comedian and so much more.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>Follow W.
