After his first week on the job, Cambridge University’s youngest black professor, Jason Arday, drops in for a chat with De-Graft. Jason couldn’t speak until he was 11 or read and write until he was 18 due to having global development delay and being autistic. Now he’s 37, has a lot to say, and is achieving his dreams.

Also, you might have heard a lot about the BBC, Gary Lineker’s tweet and migration. But, what are the government’s proposed laws on tackling illegal migration and why are some people, like Gary Lineker, criticising it? De-Graft breaks this down with the help of the Ione Wells, the BBC’s political correspondent.

And rapper Che Lingo is in the building! Che is signed to Idris Elba’s label and his music has featured in Top Boy. De-Graft and Che share some laughs whilst discussing his upcoming album which addresses some tough topics.
