The 4th Season of PUSHBACK Talks has been another fulfilling and eye-opening journey for the hosts and listeners of our podcast! In it, we travelled around the world, exploring the global problems in housing market and looking for the causes and solutions of those.
We are most grateful to our growing community of loyal listeners and present to you a season’s overview.
10 Episodes, almost 6000 downloads, 10 guests and even more contributors on a special Twitter Spaces episode - we could not have wished for a better season, full of interesting case studies, provocative questions and insightful answers.
As always, creating a virtual bridge between Ottawa in Canada and Malmö in Sweden, at the forefront we had two enthusiastic and restless fighters for a fairer world where housing is seen as a human right - Advocate Leilani Farha and Filmmaker Fredrik Gertten.
Thanks to Zoom, we are able to continue recording new episodes of PUSHBACK Talks, even being 5,930 km apart.
The Season kicked off with a two-part conversation featuring the New York Times Global Economic Correspondent Peter S. Goodman who talked about his recently published book “Davos Man: How the Billionaires Devoured the World” in which he explores how billionaires managed to considerably increase their profits during the pandemic, exploit the house market and other burning topics.
On the 6th Episode, we were happy to host a Member of the European Parliament, KIM VAN SPARRENTAK who has shared with us what steps the European Political Leadership is taking towards a fairer housing market in the European Union and elsewhere in the world. LISTEN here!
Just recently, Kim van Sparrentak and the political group of GREENS she belongs to have helped us organise a screening of PUSH in the European Parliament after which, Leilani Farha presented the groundbreaking Directives drafted by our closest friends and partners at The Shift. Find more details about the Directives, read and share them through here!
