PUSHBACK Talks

Word Food: Yoghurt & Moonlight

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: Yoghurt: A food that brings Leilani fond memories of her dad. A conversation about heritage, culture and human kindness. The things we carry within us despite borders and occupiers. Moonlight: The recent moon landing has put a new light on the celestial body although Fredrik and Leilani have grown tired of the big powers propaganda. Instead they reflect on what happens to us when we get to admire true beauty. New episodes drop every week. Make this your ritual for keeping your curiosity – and your resistance – alive!
