The Fall of Icons: Diddy, Kanye, Cosby, and the Memory We Can’t Shake →

What happens when the artists who shaped your childhood… fall from grace? From the sitcoms that raised us to the music that moved us, this is the story of what happens when memory collides with morality. In this special episode of High and Low Retrospective, we unpack the weight of complicated nostalgia—that gut-check feeling when the art you once loved is tied to someone you no longer recognize. From Bill Cosby and The Cosby Show, to Michael Jackson, Sean “Diddy” Combs, Kanye West, Will Smith, and J.K. Rowling, we explore the moments that broke the spell—and ask whether it’s possible to still enjoy the work when the creator’s legacy turns dark. Is it still okay to listen?

It’s about identity, betrayal, and what we choose to carry with us—even when the truth hurts.
