After four years, the original Trek Chat crew reconvenes to talk about the newest addition to the Star Trek franchise: Starfleet Academy.

Comedian & actor Wyatt Cenac returns alongside screenwriter and prolific podcaster Josh Olson for the sprawling Star Trek episode at least one of you has been asking for for years.

Focus on Africa - What’s the Impact of US-Israel-Iran War on Africa
As the US-Israel conflict with Iran intensifies, concerns grow over its effects on Africa, including the security and economic impacts. Thousands of Africans working or traveling in Gulf cities like Dubai, UAE, and Doha, Qatar, are already facing disruptions, with some reportedly stranded at airports. Meanwhile, several African countries have called for urgent de-escalation to prevent the crisis from worsening.
At the same time, Ghana has removed Kotoka’s name from its airport, restoring it to Accra International Airport. The government says national monuments should reflect democracy, not coups. The decision has sparked debate among Ghanaians, coming sixty years after a military coup that reshaped the country’s political history.
