Pushback Talks Season 9 is here with "Word Food"!

This season, Fredrik & Leilani return with their signature bite-sized episodes: sharp, surprising, 15-minute explorations of the words that shape our world. Each week, they pick a single word (or two) and unpack how its simple surface hides deeper social, political, and economic realities.

Think of it as thought-provoking “intellectual snacking” – quick enough for your commute, rich enough to shift how you see power, privilege, and the systems around us.

This week’s episode:

Industry: 

In the past, the highest cost for major organizations was paying employees; now wages account for less than 1% of corporate spending! How do we fight back against industry?

Solar: 

Everyone needs some sun, but as oil prices rise, countries that rely on solar power aren't feeling the same economic strain as oil-dependent countries. Is this enough to push more countries towards green energy?

New episodes drop every week.

Make this your ritual for keeping your curiosity – and your resistance – alive!
