https://www.dw.com/en/under-the-baobab/program-73088225 Under the Baobab is DW's weekly vodcast where Africa's biggest issues meet real talk, sharp minds and bold solutions. Hosts Mimi Mefo Newuh and George Okachi are joined by experts and everyday change-makers from Africa. From elections and governance to human rights, misinformation, youth leadership and social movements, this is where tough questions are asked and fresh perspectives emerge. West Africa, which includes nations like Nigeria, Ghana, and Cameroon, takes center stage. While international media often focuses on crises such as military coups, political instability and economic turmoil, Under the Baobab goes deeper. The show aims to carve out a unique and essential storytelling space that highlights not just challenges but also innovation, resilience and the diverse societies, cultures and economies that are often overlooked in mainstream coverage. With global implications and pan-African relevance, the vodcast unpacks what's happening in West Africa, while also covering key developments across the entire continent. Join hosts Mimi Mefo Newuh and George Okachi as each week, they sit down with thought leaders, experts and everyday change-makers from across Africa. If you're looking for smart, timely and unapologetically African discussions, this is your place under the baobab tree.
