Chasing Cosby’ podcast peels back years of sexual assault accusations
“America’s Dad.”
It’s a phrase that’s been synonymous with Bill Cosby for decades. Starring in television shows, commercials and comedy shows, he’s been solidified as a pop culture icon. To many, he was the embodiment of a traditional, wholesome family man.
However, Cosby had a dark side, that was later confirmed with the first of many sexual allegations against him, starting in 2005.
“Chasing Cosby” is an investigative podcast produced by the Los Angeles Times. Hosted by Nicole Weisensee, who reported on the first accusation against Cosby in 2005, the podcast follows the accusations through the trial and conviction of Cosby.
