About this listen

Hosted by author, journalist and 5D word nerd, Dani Katz, WORD UP explores how language is programming our minds, our culture and our world, and – most importantly – how to transform ourselves and society for the infinitely more wonderful with our every word. Empowerment tools abound, along with reframes, upgrades, solutions and propaganda breakdowns, plus a generous smattering of cultural criticism, sprinkled with deep-diving, edge-pushing, solutions-based conversations with original thinkers, visionary weirdos and rebel badasses making the world more wonderful.

  • Performative Polarities, AI Propaganda + the Fallacy of Foreversies.
    Jul 9 2025

    In this solo firestarter, Dani dives deep into the linguistic traps and weaponized narratives shaping our world—from activist orthodoxy to AI-generated propaganda.

    She unpacks how binary thinking, “I am” language, and identity-based scripts keep us small, sick, and compliant.
She calls out the cultural pressure to conform to pre-approved scripts, and how large language models (like ChatGPT) are being programmed to editorialize our reality while pretending to be neutral.

    This episode is a wake-up call for anyone ready to unhook from narrative control and reclaim their voice, their mind, and their healing.
