About Who's with Me? with W. Kamau Bell
Kamau Bell is known for embracing uncomfortable conversations that acknowledge differences, confront embarrassment, and change people’s perspectives. Throughout his career, Kamau has talked with everyone from KKK members to Oprah Winfrey to strangers on the streets. Each time, Kamau fills these conversations with humor, heart, and intellect, showing that a simple conversation can lead to surprising revelations and spark change, one person at a time. Kamau brings all that and more to his new weekly podcast, Who’s With Me? Inspired by Kamau’s popular Substack newsletter of the same name, Who’s With Me? is more than just a simple question. It is an invitation to connect, a call to action, and a reassuring pat on the shoulder in these increasingly hectic times. In every episode, Kamau addresses what has caught his attention in the current cultural or political landscape. He also sits down with someone he admires deeply—a time for Kamau to give them their flowers, ask his most burning questions, and invite his guest to give him and his audience homework on how to make the world a better place. Kamau will talk to celebrities, his fellow comedians, his fellow Oaklanders, activists, and sometimes he will talk to someone like Daveed Diggs, who is all of that in one body. So… who’s with Kamau? New episodes every Wednesday.

[…] And I think that's important for us to, like, allow other storytellers to to do this like i'm making a jimmy hendrix film and i expect that i should not be the only person ever making a jimmy hendrix film the family you know i had a conversation with the family it's a very specific time of his life i think as soon as we say definitive it closes up you know the world and perspective of storytelling that I think it's gotten us into a lot of trouble in the past. No, I guess that's true. I guess I said that as a, as you know, you've heard me say this so many times, it's gotta be annoying, but as America's preeminent Bruce Lee scholar, non-Asian division, that like I've seen a lot of Bruce Lee documentaries and that was the first one that had a real fresh approach that I'd seen.
