We're taking a break from food conversations to highlight another love of ours: Great music. 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. Subscribe to Fela Kuti: Fear No Man 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.

Episode 85: Miles Bonham. Known to millions online as Miles Music Kid, Miles Bonham has become one of the youngest and most talked-about musical prodigies on Instagram. His videos have gone viral around the world, showcasing his natural talent, creativity, and unique ear for music at such a young age. He is one of the most followed under-10-year-olds in the world, and already, at just 9 years old, has some of the most elite musicians and producers befriending him, supporting him, and cheering him on (shoutout to Mark Ronson, Pharrell, Zedd, Jacob Collier, Questlove, Teddy Swims and Charlie Puth). This is Miles' podcast debut, and I wanted to mark this special moment in time with him. I had so many questions for Miles, and you can see in this interview how adorable and happy of a kid he is. His dad also joined us for this episode so we could talk about what it's like parenting Miles, the approach he and his wife have taken, and the incredible job they are doing. This is a unique episode, since we have never had a kid on the podcast before, but I hope you find it enjoyable and take away some profound thoughts from the brilliant young mind of Miles Bonham. ‘Go with Elmo Lovano' is a weekly podcast where Elmo interviews creatives and entrepreneurs in music on HOW they push forward every day, got where they are in their careers, manage their personal lives, and share lessons learned and their most important insights.

Questlove was drumming for his dad's band by the time he was 12. Since then, he founded a prolific hip-hop band with his high school classmate, became a chronicler of popular music history, came into his own as a documentary filmmaker, and more. So why does he still feel insecure about being an artist? Questlove talks with Marc about the origins of The Roots, the decision to become a late night house band, winning an Oscar right after the infamous slap, and why he had an underlying motivation for making his recent documentary about Sly Stone. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
In the middle of a not-great summer for musical icons, one death hit us particularly hard. It's Sly Stone, the mercurial, genre-hopping singer, producer and songwriter at the heart of Sly and the Family Stone, a funk Prometheus who suffered too much for bringing humanity its finest grooves. And, as it turns out, subject of a new documentary by Aamir "Questlove" Thompson, called Sly Lives!, or: The Burden of Black Genius.Joining us for the first time in far too long is Dreaming Machine's Joe to talk about the music of Sly and Thompson alike, as well as the broad spectrum of interviewees in Questlove's film. Jam and Lewis, D'Angelo, Andre Benjamin (without his flute) - they're all here, all giving their own personal take on the movie's provocative subtitle. We also cover the early days of drum machines, Questlove's previous film Summer of Soul, the backlash cycle and Jack Antonoff. Fresh!If you want us to take you higher, we release a monthly bonus episode on our Patreon, plus a whole extra podcast - the unclassifiable miscellany-fest that is Last Night... - that's not available anywhere else. All this and weekly written reviews of The X-Files, The Twilight Zone and Doctor Who! Follow us on Instagram and Facebook for more.

The Roots aus Philadelphia sind nicht nur die langjährige Showband von Jimmy Fallons Tonight Show, sie sind eine der legendärsten Hip Hop Crews überhaupt. Kürzlich haben The Roots einige Konzerte in Europa gespielt – eines davon in Eisenstadt. Dort hat Nina Hochrainer Gründungsmitglied und Drummer Questlove zum Gespräch getroffen. Questlove ist auch sonst vielbeschäftigt: Er ist Produzent, Musiktheoretiker und Buchautor, DJ, Podcast-Host und Regisseur: Dieses Jahr sind gleich zwei Dokus von ihm erschienen: „50 years of SNL music“ über Saturday Night Live und „Sly lives!“ über den heuer verstorbenen Soul/Funk-Musiker Sly Stone. Im Interview spricht Questlove über die Anfänge der Roots in Europa, die Bedeutung von Protestrap im Jahr 2025 und die aktuelle politische Realität in den USA, über seine Game Nights mit Celebrity Friends und seinen DJ Fail bei Barack Obama im Weißen Haus.

Today, I'm excited to speak with Brad Mindich, CEO and Founder of Inveniem, the leading archiving & fan engagement company that works directly with artists, estates, athletes, brands, and individual celebrities on finding, organizing, preserving, and monetizing their artifacts and history. Brad also founded Agent Phoenix, a brand realignment and creative consulting agency, which works with companies to improve and enhance their relationships with their target audiences. Brads businesses have served such iconic artists as Coldplay, Metallica, Norah Jones, Jeff Bridges, Questlove, and Elvis Costello, to name just a few. Prior to founding Inveniem and Agent Phoenix, Brad was President of the Phoenix Media/Communications Group, a multi-media organization, and is a veteran of several media and technology start-ups in the US and UK. Brad talks about the world of iconic creators – artists, actors, athletes, and other creative personages – and provides an overview of this exclusive niche and how he and other experts serve these VIP UHNW clients, especially helping them preserve and manage their intellectual property, intangible assets, and unique artifacts. The knowledge, tools, and processes Brad and his firm have developed and apply are not limited to just in this creative niche of the market. Brad describes how families of wealth can also leverage this approach and solutions to preserve and pass down their artifacts, heirlooms, and collections – but also their legacy and values more broadly. Brad goes over the practical steps of how families and UHNW clients can get started on this journey of understanding, managing, and making the most out of their creative assets and intellectual property. He delves into one of the most common roadblocks for many families and clients – how to first organize all the artifacts and creative assets they have so they can know what is there, what exists, and then follow the robust process to begin to manage these collections of unique, alternative assets. Enjoy this informative conversation with the leading service provider in this exclusive niche of the UHNW wealth management landscape.

An episode that welcomes you to a brand-new chapter in this project - one that has been years in the making!In Episode 131 of The Autistic Culture Podcast, we are revisiting the 10 Pillars of Autistic Culture! What you're about to hear is a special remastered version of an earlier episode that introduced the 10 Pillars of Autistic Culture, plus updated context and reflections from me about what it means in this new chapter. These are the building blocks of everything we're creating together going forward.This episode originally aired in January 2024, and since this episode first aired, I've taken a deeper look at the structure of the show and the framework we use to understand autistic culture.I've refined the 10 Pillars updating their names, sharpening the descriptions, and better connecting them to our lived traits, like sensory processing differences, stimming, emotional intensity, and our beautiful SPINs.What you'll hear in this episode is the heart of the work but think of it as the “draft” version.Over the next 10 weeks, I'll be highlighting one updated pillar each week with a replay of an episode that really brings that theme to life. I'll also share new context and reflections to go deeper. We'll unpack what each one means, how it shows up in our lives, and why it's worth celebrating.But I wanted to bring you this episode just as it aired because even though things have changed, this conversation holds so many gems, and it was a joyful reflection of where we were. And now, we get to go even deeper.Lets quickly walk you through what those 10 pillars are now. You might notice a few name changes:* Bottom-Up Processing (formerly “Logic and Strategy”)We build understanding from the ground up detail by detail, pattern by pattern. Think Sherlock Holmes, chess masters, scientific discovery.* Rhythmic Communicating (formerly “Linguistics and Accents”)Our conversations are musical echolalia, scripting, tangents, infodumps. There's a beat, a flow, a poetry to how we speak.* Norm Challenging (formerly “Deep Thinking and Insights”)We question assumptions. We live authentically. We honor truth over politeness, equity over hierarchy, and insight over illusion.* World BuildingWe don't just tell stories we create entire universes. Pokémon. Star Wars. Dungeons & Dragons. Autistic imagination builds the future.* Pattern Matching (formerly “Data Gathering and Analysis”)SPINs. Trivia nights. Wikipedia editing. Sexuality research. We find the signal in the noise and bring meaning to the chaos.* Game Changing (formerly “Innovative Ideas”)We're not following trends we're starting them. We rethink, reinvent, and rebuild systems from the ground up. Think Steve Jobs. Questlove. Muybridge.* Boldly Creating (formerly “Artistic Expression”)We paint with stims. We sing in scripts. We dance in sensory rhythm. Our creativity is intense, embodied, and often unconventional.* Predictably Comforting (formerly “Consistency and Reliability”)Repetition, routines, safe foods, rituals. These aren't rigidity they're anchors. Comfort. Stability. Power.* Justice Seeking (formerly “Justice and Honesty”)Fairness isn't optional it's essential. Emotional intensity meets ethical clarity. From Greta Thunberg to John McEnroe we stand for truth.* Passionate Superfanning (formerly “Superfanning and Fictional Friends”)Star Trek. Doctor Who. My Little Pony. Our love runs deep and our joy is contagious. Fandom is family. Lore is love.These 10 pillars map across three major domains of life:
