I'm Ashley C. Ford, and I host Into the Mix, a Ben & Jerry's podcast about joy and justice produced with Vox Creative.

For the past few years, I've seen a lot of hand-wringing about Governor Ron DeSantis' agenda to end what he calls woke indoctrination.

My name is Sean Coleman.

Hey, Sean, thanks for having me. Yeah, I mean, I'm still watching like that inning that Matt

pitched against the Dodgers basically once a day and, you know, going back and look at all the clips from the World Series, watching the highlights and just going back over it.

It's still pretty surreal.

It's a lot of fun to cover that playoff run.
