Episode: 24 - Buffy - 'There are no offensive words'
Craig Martin aka ‘Buffy’, approached me with a unique idea: to delve into a topic that touches every one of us - our sensitivities to language. In today's episode, Craig and I will share some of his anecdotes that illustrate just how life can be a delicate dance of sensitivities, often triggered by the very words we use and hear. But perhaps the most intriguing concept we'll explore today is the idea that there are no inherently offensive words. We will look into this notion, dissecting it, turning it over in our minds, and examining the intricate interplay of context, intent, and perceptions Enjoy Mullum Heads
