Word Food: Wall Street & Safety
Thu Feb 05 2026
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!
