Inspired by the ongoing suffering in Palestine, this episode explores language's power and potential harm. Words aren’t harmless and are often dangerous. Slight differences in word choice alter people’s perceptions. Minor differences can turn humans into “animals.”
There’s no guest today; instead, I investigate the subtle nuances in our words through the deeply rooted history of “dog-whistling.” I hope this episode will inspire us to think more critically about any media we encounter—from newspaper headlines and political rhetoric to advertisements and TV shows. 
Because words are more complex than they seem.
Trigger Warning: multiple moments in this episode contain sensitive material, including racism and brief mentions of sexual assault.
