Word Food: Greta & Empathy
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:
Greta: a conversation about Greta Thunberg's journey towards Palestinian action and what it takes to make a change. 🇵🇸🌍
Empathy: a discussion about the importance of empathy for everyone while acknowledging the difficulty of extending empathy to people who hurt others. What does it mean to be empathetic, and how is empathy a path for change?
New episodes drop every week.
Make this your ritual for keeping your curiosity – and your resistance – alive!
