Was Jesus a Christian—or a Jew? I weigh in on the major online debate kicked off by Jordan Peterson.

Welcome back to The Majority Report On today's program: Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez travel to Michigan to rally for Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed and House candidate Will Lawrence. Bernie and AOC both emphasized the $50M in dark money being spent on Haley Stevens' campaign. AOC asks if anyone believes that this money does not come with expectations from the donors. Bernie says this Senate race is not between Stevens and El-Sayed but El-Sayed and the billionaire class. Kira Ganga Kieffer, visiting Assistant Professor of Religious Studies at Fairfield University, joins the program for a conversation about her book, "Unvaccinated Under God: Religion and Vaccine Hesitancy in Modern America".

Between 1933 and 1942, the Civilian Conservation Corps enlisted more than three million young men in a project that planted two billion trees, slowed soil erosion on forty million acres of farmland, and enjoyed support across political and geographic divides. In this episode we talk with Neil Maher, author of Nature's New Deal: The Civilian Conservation Corps and the Roots of the American Environmental Movement (Oxford University Press, 2008) about how the CCC helped solidify FDR's New Deal and spread the seeds of environmental activism for generations to come. Dr. Neil Maher is a Professor of History and Master Teacher in the Federated History Department at the New Jersey Institute of Technology and Rutgers University-Newark. He is also the author of Apollo in the Age of Aquarius (Harvard University Press, 2017).

Live backstage from the historic circle at the Grand Ole Opry, Jamie sits down with multi-platinum country artist, songwriter, and producer Niko Moon to celebrate the release of his deeply personal new album, ROOTS (out now via EMPIRE). Moving past the sun-drenched, coastal escapism of his previous hits like the triple-platinum anthem "GOOD TIME," Niko opens up like never before. He shares his true origin story, detailing his childhood family hardships, growing up in a Georgia trailer home with no electricity, and the hard-earned optimism that shapes both his life and his career today. In an industry often fixated on superficial milestones and commercial checkmarks, Niko details the exact turning point when he disengaged from the noise to focus on what truly matters: family, mental health, and passing on light to others through his nonprofit, the Happy Cowboy Foundation. __ Inside the Episode: The Practice of Joy: Niko discusses the deliberate mental conditioning required to intentionally choose joy daily, even when navigating life's darkest challenges. From the Trailer to the Circle: A powerful reflection on childhood poverty—what the young boy from Georgia would say to the man standing on the legendary stage of the Grand Ole Opry tonight. Ditching the Industry Checklist: Niko shares when and how he walked away from the superficial expectations of the music business to protect his peace and purpose. The Sound of ROOTS: A look inside the sonic blend of Texas, Georgia, and Nashville, featuring his rare Ray Charles interpolation on "GEORGIA (ROOTS)." __ Connect with Niko Moon: Learn more about the Happy Cowboy Foundation: https://happycowboyfoundation.org/ Connect with Jrodconcerts Media: Instagram: https://instagram.com/jrodconcertsmedia Website: https://www.jrodconcertsmedia.com __ Support The Show: Apple Pay: Whether you're shopping online for everyday needs or treating yourself, skip the hassle.

What if the plants around us are carrying stories we've forgotten? This week, I'm joined once again by Amanda Edmiston of Botanica Fabula to explore her latest book, a rich blend of folklore, social history and the enduring stories of plants. We talk about how this knowledge is passed down through generations, and why now is the perfect time to start asking the people around us about the plants and traditions they remember.

Episode 347: Can Plants Help You Find Lost Things? In this episode, Sarah talks to Christina Oakley Harrington about the folklore, history and magic of plants.

This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. Opened in 2021, Roots Coffee & Co. has lived by its motto, “People First, Coffee Second,” creating an experience centered on meaningful connections, exceptional customer service and great coffee. Owner, Kenzie Packard, joins us with more. Kenzie Packard: Building a business has taught us that success has very little to do with what you're selling and everything to do with how you make people feel. Since opening five years ago, we've grown to three locations and recently expanded into wholesale, but that growth isn't what we're most proud of. What we're most proud of is the community that we've built. We've always believed that if you're fortunate enough to grow, you should put the ladder back down and help someone else climb it. That's why we love partnering with local businesses, cheering on other entrepreneurs and creating genuine relationships. We truly believe there's enough room for all of us to succeed. Coffee has never been the end goal. It's simply what brings people through our doors. But what really matters is that people leave feeling seen, remembered, encouraged or like they belong. If we've done that, then we've done exactly what we set out to do. Derek Miller: Roots Coffee & Co. has built a welcoming space where every cup of coffee and conversation helps bring the community together. To learn more visit RootsCoffeeUtah.com. I'm Derek Miller, with the Salt Lake Chamber, Speaking on Business. Originally aired: 7/20/26

Psalms 105, Luke 4:14-21 The Rev. Dan Marotta

This is episode 100. And it is the episode Diane Gudmundson has been building toward for thirty years.In this milestone episode, Diane tells the complete origin story behind the Roots of Change doctrine, the method, and the movement. She shares what she witnessed across thirty years as a nurse and nurse practitioner working from the ground up, including a woman dying in pain because a system everyone called excellent had left a gap nobody was tracking, clinics turning patients away because they were too complicated, families left without support in their most desperate hours, and what she perceived to be a regulatory authority making decisions that resulted in hundreds of vulnerable patients being abandoned.She shares the fury that lit a fire in her that has never gone out. The decade she spent searching for the patient-centred leadership she experienced in her very first nursing job and never found again. The moment she walked away from the system to find the root. And why she believes that LISTEN is not a soft skill. It is the only thing that will transform healthcare from the inside out.This episode is the origin story of everything. The book, the doctrine, the method, the movement, and the conviction that power must be responsible enough to protect the people with less of it.This episode connects directly to Diane's book, Rooted to Rise: The Rise of the Patient-Centred Leader, now available for presale.Secure your copy: www.dianegudmundson.com/rtrbookBook your Identity and Life Purpose Consultation: https://calendly.com/dianegudmundson1/initial-1-1-45-min-identity-life-purpose

This is an interesting anthology with poems, short stories, and book excerpts from speculative fiction. It has made me highlight several book titles to get separately because I was hooked in by the extracts included.(to kids) The Violet Keystone, the sixth and final book in the Seventh Tower series (why there aren't seven gets on all of our nerves, but we're also ready for the series to be over). listening to:by self: Caroline—this is an adult retelling of the Little House on the Prairie saga through Ma's eyes. It WAY overuses simile and is a little more navel-gazing than I expect Ma would actually have had time for, but I'm finding it very engaging and interesting. Listening to this for me is completely independent of the new Netflix series that is currently ALL over the news and social media. I didn't even know there was going to be a new series until just this week and I have been on the waiting list for Caroline for several months now. I also feel like I need a disclaimer that despite my deep childhood fondness for this series, as an adult, I've definitely come to see what a sanitized, idealized, and whitewashed picture it paints of the westward expansion, colonialism, and the indigenous nightmare of forced removal.with Tanner and Mark: Daughter of the Deep—a lengthy revisiting of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by Rick Riordan. Shades of Percy Jackson and a bit of Harry Potter abound therein. I do enjoy the diverse cast and the female heroine.

Wise weeds and wild ones, show me the holiness hidden in what I overlook. There is plenty right here, a cocoon for the metamorphosis of now.Inviting you to step into the Cauldron of Change in our Rituals of Returning video for July. This month is a gently powerful invitation into midyear reflection and integration—a sacred pause to let your experiences steep, so you can carry forward what truly nourishes you.Reminder: I do create monthly handbooks for members of our Goddess Magic Mystery School community and July's handbook is available here.Expanded post available here.Questions to consider:What from the first half of this year needs to be:Scooped out and released?Left to steep longer?More fully savored and integrated?What needs to be reconsidered, redefined, or re‑explored at this midpoint of the year?Where do you need spikier boundaries around your time, your days, and your energy?What needs to be lovingly cut away so you can choose transformation?Where are you being invited to savor the sweetness of your life more fully?How can you create sanctuary in your everyday life, right where you are?How can you create what you seek right now, in the middle of everything?What might become clear if you grant yourself a sacred pause this month to integrate, reflect, deepen, and steep?AffirmationsI tumble with the turning.I allow myself to choose and to change.I take my life to the cauldron and listen.I am on the lookout for the presence of wonder.I am awake to the miracle.I tend to the secret garden in my soul.I am at home in myself.I create a sanctuary in my everyday.I savor this sweet and wild life.A Blessing of BelongingWe close our weekly live community practice each week with our familiar blessing of belonging:Breathing in, we arrive in our bodies,breathing out we soften.We remember we belong to the earth and the sky,to ourselves and one another.May our small, steady flamesjoin countless othersin a great weaving of repair.Here, in the Cauldron of Change of summer, we remember: we do not change alone.We change in circles, in conversations, in the solidarity of knowing that other people, other places, are lighting their candles too, placing their own experiences into the cauldron, asking their own questions, and trusting that together, across distance and in all our imperfect humanity, we are part of a great weaving of repair.So as July unfurls, I invite you to steep in some practices/ideas that we've recently been exploring in circle:Let July be July.Let yourself be yourself.Release what is too heavy.Let what is still becoming have time to steep.Savor what is already sweet and true.And remember, every time you pause to remember you belong: you are a small, steady flame in a wide, wild, shimmering cauldron of change in which we can brew a new world to share. Our Inner Pace…My inner pace in Julymoves in resonancewith the languorous,liquid,luminous,lazy rhythm of desire,of longing,of curiosity and wonder. It is the pace of discovery,of creative renewaland energetic re-setand review,the pace of life's own unfolding,on its own time,in its own ways.Sending love to all of you.Keep living your magic, Molly, Mark, + Family This is a public episode.

I just returned from Washington, D.C., after touring the U.S. Capitol with Speaker Mike Johnson, and I walked away more convinced than ever that America's Christian heritage isn't a myth—it's written into the very fabric of our nation. From biblical artwork and Scripture throughout the Capitol to the faith that shaped our Founders, the evidence is hiding in plain sight. I'll also share why Christians must engage in this cultural moment with courage, truth, and biblical discernment instead of fear or outrage.

Physicist Jenny Wagner joins us, asking not whether dark matter is possible but whether it is necessary, whether the missing mass was ever missing or only misplaced inside the models we carried in before we looked up. She works the inverse problem of gravitational lensing the way a person works a locked door in the dark, feeling for what the data actually says against what the assumptions quietly whisper, until the cosmological constant, dark energy, and the whole dark sector start to look less like discoveries and more like scaffolding we forgot was scaffolding. From Zwicky and the Coma cluster to MOND and the Bullet cluster, she traces how a pragmatic guess hardened into orthodoxy, and how general relativity alone might carry more of the weight than anyone budgeted for. Cosmology as it should be done, grounded in what the sky gives us and honest about what it withholds.Jenny's blog: https://thegravitygrinch.blogspot.com/PATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADOX LOST PRE-SALE: https://buy.stripe.com/7sY7sKdoN5d29eUdYddEs0bHOMEBREW MUSIC - Check out our new album!Hard Copies (Vinyl): FREE SHIPPING https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/products/vinyl-lp-secretary-of-nature-everything-is-so-good-hereStreaming:https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-herePARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-show00:00 Go!

“The idea that things can fundamentally be better—and that we can make that happen—is what pulled me into organizing.” On this Detroit is Different episode, Chris Gilmer-Hill, candidate for Michigan State House District 8, connects his campaign to family history, Black Detroit memory, and years of grassroots political work. He traces his roots from his great-grandmother Annabelle coming from Louisiana to Wayne University in the 1930s, to his family becoming “the first Black family on their block” in University District with a racial covenant crossed out in Sharpie, to stories of sharecropping, labor struggle, and the Elaine Massacre shaping his understanding of power. Chris shares how Bernie Sanders' 2020 campaign moved him from watching politics to organizing, rooted in the belief that “a better world is possible.” Through DSA and Detroit campaigns, he began knocking doors for Lyra Spencer, Denzel McCampbell, and others, learning that real power comes from “normal people” talking to neighbors about policies that can materially improve their lives. He has canvassed across Detroit—east side, west side, southwest, every council district—and says the work taught him that people are willing to listen. This episode shows how family knowledge, socialist values, environmental justice, and door-to-door organizing brought Chris from studying systems to fighting to change them.

My guest today is Ahmir Thompson, aka Questlove, the drummer and founding member of The Roots, as well as an author, a DJ, and an Oscar-winning film director.A song that changed my life is “Double Trouble” by The Roots, and the liner notes that Questlove wrote to go with the song. There's a change in the drum sound in that song that blew my mind, and Questlove wrote a little bit about the effort that went into getting that drum sound. And as a drummer myself, I wanted to know everything about that. And that moment 26 years ago was maybe when the first seed for Song Exploder got planted in my brain. So, getting to talk to him for this is really special for me. Questlove has an encyclopedic knowledge of music. It's really astounding. He knows so much about so many artists, and he's just directed a new documentary about Earth, Wind & Fire, which is out now. But one of the artists he knows best is Prince. He was recently asked by Rolling Stone to rank the top 100 Prince songs. For this episode, we talked about the song that he put at #1 on that list.For more info, visit songexploder.net/questlove.

How does the story of the ancient Nephilim - the children of fallen angels and human women - intersect with the modern-day Federal Reserve? According to retired clinical psychologist, Dr. Laura Sanger, the “Nephilim Agenda” is thousands of years in the making. She is the author of The Roots of the Federal Reserve: Tracing the Nephilim from Noah to the U.S. Dollar, and she has done her due diligence when it comes to researching the Nephilim bloodlines and how it has spread worldwide. Tracing this history from the very beginning of Genesis and into the modern age, Dr. Sanger says her journey to write about the Nephilim and the hidden agenda of modern debt enslavement was directed by God. She also emphasizes the importance of training our children to do spiritual warfare in a world that has catastrophically fallen to Satan. TAKEAWAYS Spiritual warfare must be modeled for our children in our everyday lives Some of the bloodlines that Laura has followed include the line of Esau and the Edomites Satan was the original ‘worship leader'; he was literally designed as the most beautiful and powerful of all the angels Laura has traced some of these ancient bloodlines all the way to the architects of the U.S. Federal Reserve system

On this episode of Rocks to Roots, hosts Hilary and Duane sit down with Heather Delanoy of Wild Sage Farms, a woman veteran-owned farm in Deep Creek Canyon just outside Spokane that has grown into a local powerhouse in just four years. Heather shares how she left a long career in aerospace to farm full time, and how she now grows a little bit of everything: spring plant starts, summer produce, CSA boxes, and value-added goods for the winter markets.The conversation digs into the good stuff, literally. Heather talks building rich, high-organic-matter soil on land that was once one of the area's first homestead dairy farms, growing giant pumpkins from championship seed, and the twenty-plus varieties of hot peppers she has ready as starts this season. She also gets into supplying local restaurants and schools through Link Co-op and the Scale House Co-op, why eating local and in season matters, and how a CSA box can turn anyone into a more adventurous cook.Whether you are a backyard gardener, a market regular, or someone who just wants to eat a little more local, this episode is full of inspiration and practical wisdom on growing food, caring for the land, and staying woven into your community.Follow Wild Sage Farms on Instagram @wildsagefarmsspokane and shop plant starts and CSA shares at wildsagefarmsspokane.com.

You catch a smell. A lotion, a tea, something cooking. And in under a second — before you've even thought about it — you're home.That's not nostalgia. That's not weakness. That is your nervous system doing something remarkable.This week we're joined by psychologist and cross-cultural specialist Elif Durgel, founder of Roots and Wings Academy in Eindhoven, for a warm, science-light conversation about why smell bypasses the thinking brain entirely and connects directly to memory, identity and emotion — and what that means for international parents living far from where they started.We talk about:Why smell hits faster and deeper than any other senseWhat nervous system regulation actually feels like from the insideThe invisible extra load of living between cultures — and why July makes it louderWhy so many of us quietly deny ourselves the things that helpWhy going to the expat shop isn't retail therapy — it's something more real than thatWhether you're heading home this summer, somewhere completely new, or discovering the Netherlands in July for the first time — this one is your permission slip.20 minutes.

Danny Sheehan is one of the most consequential public interest attorneys of the last century. His cases include the Pentagon Papers, Watergate, the Karen Silkwood case, the Iran-Contra investigation, and decades of work at the intersection of government secrecy and the public's right to know. He is co-founder of the Romero Institute and the New Paradigm Institute, and a leading voice in the push for congressional UAP disclosure. Today, he stands at the center of what may be the most consequential question humanity has ever faced: the implications of a potential extraterrestrial or extradimensional non-human presence here on Earth. Having spent over 50 years litigating against government secrecy and winning, in this discussion, Danny connects the JFK assassination, the Vatican's role in the 1933 Italy UFO crash, the founding of the CIA, and the architecture of Brown Brothers Harriman to the UFO cover-up we're living through today, and lays out the concrete constitutional path to disclosure. Big thanks to Jamie Billings for helping make this interview happen, and to Danny and his wife for their time and generosity. The New Paradigm Institute, founded by acclaimed civil rights and Constitutional attorney Danny Sheehan, is dedicated to advocating for the public release of information held by the government surrounding the issue of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP), or what was commonly known as Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs).

In an age in which many young people drift from the church after high school, the call to intentional church membership is not optional—it's a gospel imperative. This workshop will explore how the good news of Jesus not only saves but also plants youth deeply in the life of the local church for a lifetime of growth and mission. We'll unpack biblical foundations for membership, confront common cultural and generational obstacles, and equip leaders to guide students toward committed, covenantal belonging. By rooting our next generation in the gospel and the local body, we shape a trajectory of perseverance, maturity, and kingdom impact that extends far beyond their teenage years.

What if some of the greatest investment opportunities weren't hiding in Silicon Valley or Wall Street, but inside small businesses that have been overlooked for decades?In this episode of The Conscious Capitalists, hosts Timothy Henry and Raj Sisodia sit down with Monika Mantilla, Co-Founder, President & CEO of Altura Capital (https://alturacap.com/), to explore how patient capital, purpose-driven investing, and entrepreneurial success can create extraordinary financial returns while strengthening communities. Over the past 21 years, Monika has built a proven track record investing in lower middle market businesses across low-and-moderate-income communities, demonstrating that impact and performance are not competing priorities, but mutually reinforcing ones.Monika shares why Altura Capital was intentionally built as an investment platform rather than a traditional private equity fund, allowing the firm to provide flexible capital tailored to the unique needs of growing businesses. She explains why patient investment horizons of three to seven years, combined with operational partnership and long-term thinking, consistently outperform short-term approaches. Along the way, she introduces The Altura Way, the firm's ten-pillar value creation framework that helps companies strengthen strategy, operations, leadership, governance, digital transformation, and community impact while building more resilient businesses.The conversation also explores one of the largest untapped opportunities in modern investing. Monika discusses research conducted alongside 29 of America's largest corporations that identified an estimated $590 billion in unrealized value within underserved business segments. She explains how diverse ownership, improved market access, and stronger partnerships with companies such as Walmart, Kroger, CVS, Merck, and Johnson & Johnson help unlock growth that traditional investors often overlook.But this episode reaches far beyond investing. Monika reflects on the influence of her upbringing in Bogotá, Colombia, the lasting impact of her mother, her faith-driven approach to leadership, and the philosophy that guides both her life and business: ser en el hacer—being in the doing. She also shares her unique 200-hour planning system, organizing life into fourteen categories across eight-week cycles, and explains why she considers leading Altura to be only her seventh priority after ensuring the rest of her life is aligned with her values.Listeners will gain insights into:Why the lower middle market represents one of the most overlooked opportunities in private equityWhat patient capital really means and why long-term investing creates stronger businessesHow Altura's ten-pillar value creation framework systematically scales growing companiesWhy diverse ownership and investing in underserved communities can generate above-market returnsHow market access and strategic partnerships accelerate business growthWhy values, intentional leadership, and disciplined time management are foundational to long-term successThe role conscious capitalism can play in creating both economic progress and social progressWhether you're an investor, entrepreneur, business leader, or simply interested in how capitalism can be a force for lasting value creation, this episode offers a compelling conversation about building businesses that deliver exceptional returns while expanding opportunity for more people.If you enjoy this podcast, would you consider leaving a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify?

Listen to the rest of this premium episode by subscribing at patreon.com/knowyourenemy. This conversation is something of a follow-up to our last episode on Garry Wills's Lincoln at Gettysburg: The Words That Remade America. We begin by "providing receipts" for the views of prominent midcentury conservative intellectuals (Willmoore Kendall, Russell Kirk, and Mel Bradford, to name a few) about the Declaration, equality, and Lincoln, then take a step back to discuss what their quarrel with Lincoln, Harry Jaffa, Garry Wills, and other partisans of equality might reveal about the nature of the American founding and the shape of our country's history. After all that—and more—we consider NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani's July 3 speech celebrating America's 250th anniversary and the promise and perils of leftwing patriotism.

What if the biggest barriers to experiencing nature aren't natural at all? Today, I'm joined by author, poet and disability activist Bethany Handley to explore accessibility, belonging, and how redesigning our landscapes could create richer places for both people and wildlife. Benny's Insect of the Week: The Cinnabar Moth Links Bethany's website My Body is a Meadow The Book Please support the podcast on Patreon And follow Roots and All: On Instagram @rootsandallpod On Facebook @rootsandalluk On LinkedIn @rootsandall If you enjoyed this week's episode with Bethany, you might also enjoy these episodes from the archives: Episode 366: Universal Qualities of Healing Gardens In this episode, Sarah talks to Sandra Schwarz about the restorative power of green spaces and the qualities that make gardens welcoming, supportive and healing. Together they explore how thoughtful design can help people connect with nature, making it an ideal companion to Bethany's conversation about accessibility, belonging and creating landscapes that work for everyone. Episode 239: Growing Biodiversity In this episode, Sarah chats with gardener Benny Hawksbee about bringing biology and ecology into horticulture. From creating wildlife-friendly gardens to challenging traditional gardening practices and encouraging community involvement, it's a natural follow-on from Bethany's discussion of designing landscapes that benefit both people and wildlife.

Links Roots, Relationships, and Results What the Scriptures Say About Leadership | An Interview with Shawn Moon Watch the video and share your thoughts in the Zion Lab community Transcript available with the video in the Zion Lab community Highlights This discussion covers foundational leadership attributes compiled from over one hundred interviews with global leaders across various industries. The conversation focuses on intentional personal development, effective relational dynamics, and achieving meaningful outcomes in family and church callings. 00:03:12 – Sean’s Leadership Background 00:05:00 – Unique Stake Presidency Experience 00:05:57 – Genesis of the New Book 00:08:06 – The Concept of the Last Leadership Lecture 00:12:49 – Interviewing Leaders for Insights 00:14:40 – Themes Emerging from Interviews 00:16:14 – The Importance of Personal Leadership 00:19:05 – Leading Without a Formal Title 00:21:19 – The Power of Gratitude in Leadership 00:29:15 – Practicing Gratitude as a Skill 00:32:05 – The Work That Matters 00:35:10 – Trusting Leadership: Extending Trust 00:40:59 – The Impact of Believing in Others 00:43:24 – Conclusion and Final Thoughts Key Insights The Leadership Arc: True leadership functions across three integrated categories: establishing internal roots of personal leadership, building deep relational trust, and executing to achieve sustainable results. Leading Without a Title: Formal authority is not a prerequisite for impact; some of the most profound leadership occurs when individuals step forward to influence and lift others without holding an official calling or position. Emotional Regulation: Effective leaders act as thermostats rather than thermometers. They actively set the emotional temperature and bring stability to a room during high-stress situations instead of merely reacting to the environment. Gratitude as a Multiplier: Practicing deliberate gratitude serves as a cognitive interrupter that shifts a leader's mindset from defensive, reactionary conflict to collaborative, executive problem-solving. Extending Trust: While being trustworthy is a basic requirement, exceptional leadership requires actively extending trust to others, which fosters their potential and builds long-term confidence. Intentional Time Investment: Human life consists of a finite number of seconds. Leaders must prioritize their weekly focus around essential tasks and specific individuals to build deep, lasting connections. Leadership Applications Implementing the 5×4 Method: Latter-day Saint leaders can organize their weekly schedules by identifying five critical objectives and four specific people to intentionally reach out to and lift up. Expressing Written Appreciation: Ward and stake leaders can cultivate a supportive culture by sending regular, handwritten notes of gratitude to members, validating their voluntary service and building deep organizational trust.

Beneath the gloss of Nigeria's contemporary pop, older roots styles, mostly derived from Yoruba tradition, still thrive. In this program, we meet four top stars of fuji music, the percussion-driven, message-heavy, and occasionally profane trance music that animates weddings and parties on a daily basis in hidden corners of Lagos. Rival “kings” K1 da Ultimate and Saheed Osupa, and a rare woman of fuji, Salawa Abeni, take us inside the rough and tumble of an exciting musical subculture little known outside Nigeria. We also meet juju legend Shina Peters, meet up-and-comers on the Lagos roots scene. This program fills out our Hip Deep portrait of a vibrant African city where music holds the keys to a tumultuous collision of cultures and peoples. Produced by Banning Eyre. APWW #763
