This is Fresh Air Weekend.

I'm Sam Brigger.

Let's get back to Terry Gross' interview with Jad Abumrad, the creator and former host of the public radio program and podcast Radiolab, and the creator and host of the Peabody award-winning podcast series Dolly Parton's America.

His new podcast, Fela Kuti, Fear No Man, is about the father of Afrobeat, who used his music in the 70s as a weapon against Nigeria's brutal dictatorship.

We're listening to Terry's conversation with Michael Pollan.

His new book is A World Appears, A Journey Into Consciousness.

We'll hear more of their conversation after a break.
