Lenny Henry and his podcasting partner Marcus Ryder drop in for a chat about Saturday Soup and how comedy has helped them get through some tough times. Over in the US, more than 75 lawsuits have been filed against companies that make hair relaxers, alleging they’ve caused serious health problems. So our very own Kamilah McInnis jumps behind the mic to explain what it’s all about. De-Graft also gets into this with Jamelia Donaldson, the founder of Treasure Tress, a natural hair products company. And musician Hak Baker is live, in the building and buzzing about his brand new track - Windrush Baby! Hak and De-Graft share personal stories, lots of laughs and some home truths too.
