  5. Let’s talk about OCDpublished at 00:00 Greenwich Mean Time 23 December 2022

    We’re talking about OCD in this week’s episode. It affects two to three per cent of the population and is the lowest-funded mental health condition for research, according to the charity Orchard OCD. De-Graft is joined by Shaun Flores, who reveals what his life is like living with the condition. He noticed a lack of black people speaking about their OCD experiences and is on a mission to change that. Nick Sireau, co-founder and chair of Orchard OCD, also drops in.

    And the 2022 World Cup final is nearly upon us! Morocco becoming the first African team to ever reach the semi-final has been celebrated as a big win for Africa and Africans around the world. But, it has also brought up conversations around African identity in the North African country. De-Graft hears from Zainab, who felt conflicted about supporting Morocco, and Hajar Chaffag, a BBC Africa reporter in Rabat.

  9. Could you be an astronaut?published at 00:00 Greenwich Mean Time 16 December 2022

    We’re off to space for this one, following the European Space Agency’s recent announcement of a new bunch of astronauts. Nearly 23,000 people applied but not one of the people who were chosen was a person of colour. De-Graft looks into why this was the case and hears from Dr Sheila Kanani, who applied for the job.

    We’re also back on Earth for two stories about Nigeria. The first is about the government’s decision to teach young kids in native languages instead of English. But with more than 600 languages in Nigeria, how will this work? Ishaq Khalid, a BBC journalist in Abuja, joins De-Graft to explain.

    And, a museum in the UK has signed over a collection of objects - that were looted from the historical Kingdom of Benin - back to Nigeria. Our very own, Paige Neal-Holder - was at the transfer event. She reveals what happened and the history behind it.
