PUSHBACK Talks

Word Food: Big Tech & Resilience

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: Big Tech: What do we know about Big Tech? They influence elections, collect data, and prioritize profit. Dive into a conversation about the Tech "bros" who try to dominate our lives. Resilience: People all around the world show incredible resilience as they fight for a better future. But how can we maintain this stamina? Join in on this week's conversation about resilience. New episodes drop every week. Make this your ritual for keeping your curiosity – and your resistance – alive! Support the show
