BBC World Service - BBC OS, Cosby Show Star Says 'Job-shaming' Led To Job Offers

Geoffrey Owens, the Cosby Show star, who was "job shamed" speaks to OS.

Geoffrey Owens, the Cosby Show star who was "job shamed" after being spotted working in a grocery store speaks to OS.

Geoffrey Owens, one of the stars of the Cosby Show, became a viral story, when a photo of him working in a supermarket was picked up by media. It was Geoffrey's dignified response that really got people talking. He has been telling OS that since then he's had multiple job offers. Also today; a 27-year old Iranian man tells the programme what it is like to live as a refugee on the Pacific Island nation of Nauru. The Charity MSF has called for evacuation of all asylum-seekers in Nauru due to what they call a mental health crisis. And an American astronaut gives his reaction after watching the video showing the dramatic 
emergency landing of the Russian Soyuz rocket.
