Episode Details

What is this “Davos” they speak of? A town… or a billionaire’s clubhouse? (Spoiler: it’s both.)

In this episode of Brenda, You’re on Mute, we lift the lid on the World Economic Forum in Davos — the annual Alpine gathering where CEOs, politicians and the ultra-wealthy meet to “shape the future.”

We break down:

• Who actually gets in (and what it costs)

• This year’s geopolitical drama and standout speeches

• The rise of the “Davos Man” and billionaire influence

• Climate pledges, vaccine alliances, and whether any of it really changes lives

• The flaming “No Kings” protest on the mountainside 🔥

Is it global cooperation at its best — or elite deal-making dressed up as democracy?

We’re sceptical. We’re curious. We’re definitely not on the guest list.

Listen now — and tell us: if you've had a Davos lanyard, how did you use it?
