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:

Wall Street: an examination of how Wall Street shareholders use war and the deprivation of human rights as a source of profit.

Safety: a reflection on how capitalism is structured to make us feel insecure and where we can find safety.

New episodes drop every week.

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