W. Kamau Bell, the host of CNN's "United Shades of America,\u201d describes his show as giving people a \u201cmicrophone\u201d and \u201cpublic square to tell their version of the story.\u201d Putting it plainly, he's said his greatest gift as a communicator is in knowing, \u201c... how to shut the f*ck up and let people talk.\u201d Kamau is a gifted stand up comedian who delivers his comedy through a socio-political lens. In this episode of Clear+Vivid, Alan Alda asks W. Kamau Bell about his approach to comedy and how it's possible to talk with someone who you genuinely disagree with, like a member of the KKK \u2014 and still find relatable qualities, even humor. Before they finish, Kamau surprises Alan with a guest of his own!\n\nSupport the show: https://www.patreon.com/clearandvivid
