Through history, lived experience, and cultural context, we examine why these words carry such destructive weight, how they’re used to marginalize communities, and what it means to challenge them with awareness and accountability. This conversation invites listeners to reflect on the responsibility we all share in choosing language that heals rather than harms. ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-cracked-cauldron-podcast-6741781/episodes/season-4-episode-11-words-that-wound/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-cracked-cauldron-podcast-6741781/season-4-episode-11-words-that-wound.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
