In a world that’s on fire, what is the role of art? What can music actually…do?
Can a song save a life? Change a law? Topple a president? Get you killed?
In Fela Kuti: Fear No Man, Jad Abumrad—creator of Radiolab, More Perfect, and Dolly Parton's America—tells the story of one of the great political awakenings in music: how a classically trained 'colonial boy' traveled to America, in search of Africa, only to return to Nigeria and transform his sound into a battering ram against the state—creating a new musical language of resistance called Afrobeat.
For years, the world’s biggest stars made pilgrimages to Nigeria to experience Fela’s Shrine, the epicenter of his musical revolution. But when the mix of art and activism got too hot, the state pulled out its guns, and literally opened fire.
Fela Kuti: Fear No Man is an uncategorizable mix of oral history, musicology, deep dive journalism, and cutting edge sound design that takes listeners deep inside Fela’s life, music, and legacy.
Drawing from over 200 interviews with Fela Kuti’s family, friends, as well as scholars, activists, and luminaries like Burna Boy, Paul McCartney, Questlove, Santigold, and former President Barack Obama (just to name a few), Fela Kuti: Fear No Man journeys deep into the soul of Afrobeat to explore the transformative power of art and the role artists can play in this current moment of global unrest.

“It only takes one moment to change the trajectory of your life.”
Some moments change everything. They ignite transformation, spark momentum, and define who we become.
Hosted by Brant Menswar, best-selling author, acclaimed keynote speaker, and personal development coach, Just a Moment is a 30-minute podcast that uncovers the extraordinary, life-changing moments that shape who we are. Every episode brings you into the lives of world-class guests—entrepreneurs, athletes, musicians, actors, entertainers, and high-achievers—as they share two pivotal stories from their incredible journeys:
1. The breakthrough moment that changed everything and catapulted them forward in their career or life.
2. The missed moment—a failure, regret, or challenge they wish they could revisit, and the lessons that came with it.
These raw, honest stories are brought to life through masterful storytelling, captivating sound design, and thoughtful narration to create an unforgettable listening experience that immerses listeners in the gravity of each moment.
