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:Profit: Is there a neutral definition of the word profit? In a time when kleptocratic networks are being exposed and organisations working for profit and profit only are increasingly prevalent - what does profit mean? Spring: As the snow is slowly melting away and the sun makes a welcomed appearance Lelani and Fredrik reflect on the thoughts that spring brings -  the circle of life, rebirth and hope for the future. New episodes drop every week.Make this your ritual for keeping your curiosity – and your resistance – alive!Support the show
