A new podcast is hitting the airwaves with a clear mission: to dig deeper into how power, policy, and perspective shape African lives and how the continent tells its own stories.
Panel 54, a weekly show produced by Comics Africa and E&C Talent, is now live.
Hosted by Veteran journalist Waweru Njoroge and Radio host Ndu Okoh, the podcast takes on everything from politics and media to identity and representation with a sharp eye on what’s real and relevant across the continent.
“We’re not here to ride the wave of trends. We want to get to the truth,” says Ndu Okoh.
“It’s about making space for African agencies in conversations that often leave us out,” adds Waweru Njoroge.
Panel 54 blends studio discussion with on-the-ground interviews and unscripted conversations. From Cape Town to Cairo, Lagos to Lamu, it speaks to a continental audience hungry for deeper dialogue and unapologetically African viewpoints.
Early episodes explore timely topics like Pan-Africanism in 2025, Africa’s place in a shifting global power structure, and how media shapes public opinion.
You can find Panel 54 on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and other platforms. There’s also extra content on social, from behind-the-scenes clips and polls to live Q&As.
Waweru Njoroge is a seasoned political editor and media strategist with 20+ years in journalism.
Ndu Okoh is a celebrated documentary producer and journalist known for tackling tough subjects with nuance and boldness.
Together, they bring clarity, curiosity, and lived experience to every conversation.
