After We Were Heard
from Adequate Conceit · host Benjamin John
We fought to be heard.We fought for language.We fought for a seat at the table.And that mattered.But now that we’re here, something feels stalled.This episode looks at what happens when identity becomes the main thing we defend — and creation quietly falls away. When outrage replaces contribution, when expression stands in for making, and when being against something feels easier than building something new.A conversation about exhaustion, meaning, art, work, and the difference between declaring who we are and offering something that didn’t exist before.
