LAL #041 — An Interview with Bill Cosby's Spokesman, Mr. Andrew Wyatt of Purpose PR

<p>Andrew Wyatt is the spokesman for Bill Cosby, standing by him in the run up to his trial and his conviction in Pennsylvania, and greeting him at the prison gates when he was released from prison after the State Supreme Court threw out the conviction. </p> <p>Who is Andrew Wyatt? And what does a spokesman do? Few Americans have enjoyed the celebrity status that Bill Cosby enjoyed. And none have fallen so far and so quickly from grace.  </p> <p>Will Cosby engage in a comeback tour?  If he does, I’m betting Andrew Wyatt will be by his side. </p> <p>I just love this guy. In this wide-ranging interview, Wyatt talks about his childhood, his work, how he met Bill Cosby, and the challenges of representing 'America’s Dad' to a media that turned surly during the what appears as the prologue to the #MeToo hysteria. </p> <p>What’s next for Bill Cosby? Did prison change him? Just how did his lawyers permit the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to promise Cosby effective immunity and then turn around and prosecute him? </p> <p>Wyatt’s at once quick-witted, charming, and, from time-to-time, funny as hell. I suspect his endearing qualities are a product of the time his spent on Detroit’s east side, where I, too, emerged from adolescence into the bright lights of adulthood confusion and angst. And did you know that Wyatt and Cosby are fraternity brothers, both members of Omega Psi Phi?  </p> <p>Listen in to find out how Law and Legitimacy’s host, Norm Pattis, also developed a connection to the fraternity.  </p> <p>Join Norm Pattis's growing subscriber base on <a href= "https://www.patreon.com/normpattis?fan_landing=true">Patreon</a>.
