Welcome to Bel-Air: The Official Podcast, hosted by DJ Jazzy Jeff and Miles Gray. Each week, join Jeff and Miles in honest and open conversations with the visionaries - both behind the scenes and in front of the camera - who brought this fresh, dramatic reimagining of an iconic sitcom into the present day. Each episode, Jeff and Miles will sit down with a guest (or two) to ask their own burning questions of the show’s creators, and break down the themes the show addresses with their real-world implications, all while talking about their favorite scenes. It’s a culture podcast; it’s a TV podcast; but it’s not a recap podcast. Tune-in to Bel-Air every Thursday on Peacock.
