I podden Klart som korvspad pratar Johan Winsborn med gäster om modeord och trender för att se vad som ligger bakom begreppen vi så gärna slänger oss med. Vad innebär fenomen egentligen?

För att förklara vad begreppen betyder på riktigt har Johan bjudit in Pär Lager – styrelseproffs, senior rådgivare, föreläsare och författare, vars senaste bok Upskill och Reskill precis blivit översatt till engelska.
