The passing of Bill Trotman is a reminder of why we must celebrate the people who shaped Trinidad and Tobago's culture while they're still with us.

In this week's commentary, I pay tribute to one of our great cultural icons and reflect on why preserving these stories matters. From there, we unpack some of the biggest issues affecting the country—from CARICOM and economic diversification to Nestlé's future in Trinidad and Tobago, government spending, public safety and the headlines that have dominated the week.

These episodes are simply a chance to slow down, look beyond the headlines and make sense of the issues shaping our country.

Topics covered:

• Honouring the life and legacy of Bill Trotman
• Remembering The Mighty Wanderer
• CARICOM and Trinidad & Tobago's role in the region
• Oil, gas and economic diversification
• Nestlé's strategic review and what it means for local dairy farmers
• Government spending and the national budget
• Public safety, politics and accountability
