Word Food: Puerto Rico & Universal
PUSHBACK Talks
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:
Puerto Rico: a look at how occupation and resistance shape cultural expression, using Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl performance as a case to show that messages of resistance are vital in today’s political climate.
Universal: a discussion about how human rights, although defined as universal, are not protected for everyone.
New episodes drop every week.
Make this your ritual for keeping your curiosity – and your resistance – alive!
