  Synopsis When  and  land in  for another  reading, the Doctor goes to a  to meet an old . There, he discovers a mysterious  trapping the patrons, feeding  with their stories. Plot  sits in a chair, getting a haircut, and tells a story about  the , his village saved by the mysterious man in the blue box. As he speaks, images splay out on the wall behind him, depicting his story to the men listening eagerly. As he finishes, they all look at a pair of lights on the wall in tense anticipation, relaxing when they switch from red to green. Omo tells the others not to worry, the Doctor always comes, and the light switches back to red, alarms blare, and the room shakes.  insists that the  take her home, and he suggests that they head to , , the communications hub of , and a place he loves - home of his favorite barbershop. Belinda expresses confusion at this - the  can do his hair; but he explains that it's about community, about being himself, since it's the first time he's ever been a black man. Belinda understands and sends him off to enjoy himself in Lagos after he takes a  reading. The Doctor winds his way through a market, greeting everyone as he passes, before he comes to his friend Omo's barbershop, , finding those assembled in the middle of a story. As the door closes behind him an alarm goes off in the TARDIS, alerting Belinda that something has gone wrong. The Doctor notices that everyone present is on missing posters outside, and he watches as the man's hair grows back. The light in the barbershop flashes to red, people scramble to decide who still has a story left, and someone sits down, telling the story of  and a , of music and of time. As images flicker on the wall, the Doctor looks on in wonder, and asks how it works, begins testing by throwing out words from his travels. But it has to be a story, it has to be with a haircut. A new  has taken over the shop, he came one day, and as if by magic the shop became his. A woman enters the barbershop, , bringing food, the door closes behind her, and an alarm in the TARDIS sounds again. The Doctor recognizes her, but can't place her. The light switches to red again, and the Doctor sits down, telling the most powerful story he knows, not of  or , but of an ordinary life. Of Belinda Chandra doing her job, helping someone all night long, even on her grandmother's birthday, a simple gesture of thanks two weeks later. Abby watches a screen in another room, seeing it lighting up, noting that they're accelerating, as the story ends. The Barber is impressed with the power of his stories, and tells Abby when she comes out that they need to recalibrate . Omo asks if they can be let free now that the Doctor has come, his stories being effective, his hair having grown in the interim more than any of theirs. But Abby locks the door and the pair leave. The TARDIS sounds an alarm yet again, this time showing Belinda an image of the barbershop. The Doctor is furious that Omo betrayed him, is willing to trap him here, and refuses to listen as everyone tries to tell him not to open the door. He forces it open with his sonic screwdriver, finding a vacuum on the other side. A vacuum with only giant web and a large spider traversing it, the barbershop on the back of the spider. The Doctor closes the door with great effort, and the Barber emerges from the backroom, explaining that the shop is in Lagos and in outer space at the same time, only Abby and himself able to travel between. Outside, Belinda finds herself lost, but is pointed towards the shop by a , entering it, glad to see the Doctor. Reunited, the pair confront the Barber, calling him a coward who hides his face, having no real power. Rising to the taunt, the Barber names himself, calling himself , , , , , the god of stories. The pair burst out laughing - the Doctor has met Bastet, Sága, Dionysus, Anansi. He's partied with them, Anansi even tricked him to marry his daughter. This man isn't any of them. And so the man admits, he's the person who did their work for them. Wherever the gods went, he took their stories, cleaned them up, refined them, wrote them down, all for humans to repeat them, to keep the gods alive. Without him the gods would not exist. The web outside is his creation as well, the , a web that connects cultures and ideas. He was so successful that the gods abandoned him, and now he wants vengeance. The engine winds down, so much power drained from the Doctor opening the door. Abby criticizes him, and the Doctor recognizes her at last - Anansi's daughter, Abena. He's sorry that he was unable to help her, but he was a  at the time, and had his own story. The light turns red, and the Barber insists the Doctor tell a story. The Doctor refuses, demanding to know what vengeance is being planned. The Barber relents - he plans to cut out the gods from memory when he reaches the center of the nexus, erasing them from existence. The Doctor is horrified, this will damage humanity, as it will harm their ability to tell stories, to pass down information, insisting that this is horrific. He refuses to sit down and speak, he won't let the spider go further. As the shop descends into chaos, everyone arguing, Abena proclaims that she will tell a story, and begins to braid the Doctor's hair. And she tells a story of plantation slaves transmitting information through the braids on their hair, maps to freedom for anyone who could escape, hidden in a place where the overseers would never check. As the battery stabilizes, the Doctor and Belinda run into the back room, finding themselves in a maze, a maze for which the Doctor has the map on his head. The pair come to a room full of artifacts from various cultures and the ship's engine, an engine that runs on stories, a heart inside a brain. The Barber enters the room behind them, having cut Abena off from the outside, the Doctor disrupting the flow of power, slowing the spider down but not stopping it. The Barber insists that the Doctor has done nothing. So the Doctor suggests that they consider , who wrote a story in six words. The Doctor's six word story is "I'm born. I die. I'm born." And energy begins to flow into the engine, never-ending energy, as his past lives flicker across the screens. But the Doctor has disrupted the engine, it can't process the power. He tells the Barber that now it's his choice - he can save the people in the shop by opening the door. But the engine will disintegrate. The Barber unlocks the door and Omo, Adena and the rest out front escape. The Doctor sends Belinda back as he sits with the Barber, talking to him, convincing him that he still has more to live for. The pair escape the shop at the last moment as it collapses, the engine exploding, destroying the spider it rode on. Omo apologizes to the Doctor, and says that he should have protected the Doctor, they're part of the same community. The two make up. Omo gives the Barber his shop, saying that he's retiring, and gives him a name, his father's name, . Adétòkunbo steps back into the barbershop, now his. The Doctor and Belinda step back into the TARDIS, one step closer to home.

Annemieke Bosman in gesprek met theatermaker Kimberley Agyarko. Agyarko maakt de voorstelling ABROAD, een multimediale voorstelling over ouderschap, offers en heling. Ze schrijft, regisseert en speelt dit intieme familieportret over de complexe relatie tussen ouders en kinderen. En over hoe je soms terug moet gaan om vooruit te kunnen. Nu podcaster Abena bijna dertig wordt, worstelt ze met een aantal grote levensvragen. Ze besluit om terug te reizen naar haar geboorteland Ghana om haar moeder op te zoeken die ze vijftien jaar niet heeft gezien. Voor ze vertrekt moet ze deze keuze met haar vader delen, de man die haar al die jaren alleen heeft opgevoed. ABROAD is een verhaal van twee generaties die botsen, ieder met hun eigen pijn en verwachtingen.  Kimberley Agyarko studeerde in 2020 af aan de Toneelacademie in Maastricht. Direct na haar afstuderen speelde zij in de Bellevue Lunchtheatervoorstelling Ik voel Amor (regie Eva Line de Boer) en was daarna te zien in producties van onder anderen Het Nationale Theater en Toneelmakerij.

In this episode we explore the transformative experiences of Abena Dinizulu and Stephanie Perez, two distinguished participants of the Pathways into Quantitative Aging Research (PQAR) program. They share their journeys through this rigorous six-week program, discussing how it equipped them with vital research skills, fostered professional growth, and created new opportunities in public health. Abena and Stephanie reflect on their unique paths and the program's impact on their careers, offering valuable insights for future PQAR applicants.  About the Pathways into Quantitative Aging Research (PQAR): This summer program will have an intensive schedule of courses, seminars and research, with enough free time to explore the city of New York on the weekends. For six weeks during the summer, students will receive instruction on quantitative and qualitative research methods, responsible conduct of research (RCR) training as well as GRE-prep. This program is meant to provide students with the skills needed to not only conduct research, but also to apply to and succeed in graduate school. Throughout the program students will be engaged in aging related topics/ research through their coursework, small group projects, seminars and site visits to various Public Health organizations in New York City.  After the completion of the summer program, students will remain in communication with the program through our year-round monthly journal club and mentoring meetings, as well as the possibility of a January return. Students will also have the opportunity to attend academic conferences during the year, with funding from the program.

Engaging crucially with food as a cultural, spiritual, and generational experience, this week's guest Abena Offeh-Gyimah highlights the connections between ancestral foods, and the soil, seeds, and people who play a part in sustaining ancestral foodways. Focusing on the ancestral foods of Africa, and specifically her home-country of Ghana, Abena shares stories of connection, trust, and community fostered by food. Abena calls listeners to pay attention to the technical and spiritual aspects of seeds that connect them to past, present, and future landscapes. Through this deep connection, Abena points out the absurdity that certain companies claim to own seeds as if they could own life itself.  Seeds carry with them the miracle of life and abundance, how might we shape our food and agricultural systems to honor this sacred reality?Abena Offeh-Gyimah is the founder of BEELA Center for Indigenous Foods in Ghana, a project that seeks to preserve indigenous African seeds, foods, and practices. Prior to this role, Abena worked as the Project Lead for the Jane Finch Community Research Partnership, with extensive experience in community engagement, ethical research, program development, partnerships & collaboration, and with previous organizations like North York Community House, Black Creek Community Farm, Jane Finch Center, and with Building Roots Toronto. Abena brings years of experience in conducting ethical community engaged research practice, work in local food systems, seed sovereignty, and collaboration in food sovereignty movements. Abena is a writer, a poet, a researcher, a naturalist, and a conservationist.For an extended version of this episode please join us on Patreon at patreon.com/forthewild. Music by Buffalo Rose, Eliza Edens, and Marian McLaughlin.

In this episode, Erin Hart, Megan Peterson, Jess Braverman, and Abena Abraham talk through the latest updates from the Minnesota legislature and abortion rights. First, we cover the Reproductive Freedom Defense Act, a Minnesota law that protects patients and providers from legal attacks from anti-abortion states. The bill is expected to be voted on in the House on Monday, March 20. Legal director Jess Braverman provides an overview of cases coming out of Texas and the legal landscape that patients and providers are facing. The Red River Women's Clinic in Minnesota won a case challenging the trigger ban in North Dakota, affirming constitutional protection for abortion in the state constitution. The Center for Reproductive Rights brought the case to court, resulting in a significant win. Megan and Abena touch on their recent trip to the Abortion Care Network Conference, where they discussed the cases coming out of Texas and the lawsuit against the FDA for its approval of Mifepristone. The conversation emphasized the need for medically accurate and supportive pregnancy care, particularly for vulnerable communities. The group also gives an update on the other bills moving at the Capitol, including the Positive Pregnancies Support Act and the Reproductive Freedom Codification Act. Jess wraps up the conversation with an update on the lawsuit Doe v. Minnesota and the latest motion to intervene from an anti-abortion group. ### Visit the "Gender Justice" Website here and "Unrestrict Minnesota" here.

Set in Ghana, Abena and Faiza, both 14 years old, meet in a busy market place where Faiza earns a meager living being a kayayoo (a porter girl). Abena left her plush lifestyle behind to spend the summer holidays working in her auntie's market cloth shop. The girls quickly develop a deep friendship; it's inconsequential that they don't speak the same language. Both are bright and curious about the world and are way out of their comfort zone. Auntie cannot support the friendship as she doesn't want Abena associating with a poor, uneducated kayayoo, yet in Faiza, Abena sees well beyond the social and economic disparities. Transcript here
