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.

But we wanted to know, what does that mean?

And how does this agenda actually affect the people living and working there?

Especially those who have benefited from the diversity, equity, and inclusion programs

that DeSantis' policies would uproot.

Welcome to the Daily Hammer, your daily news source when it comes to the Atlanta Braves as part of the Talking Chop podcast network.

But I'm here and happy to correct myself in this instance.

It's not the Atlanta Braves.

It's the fourth time in a row in L East Division champ Atlanta Braves. And for

the ability to celebrate a monumentous occasion, I am glad to welcome a special guest, fellow

talking shop member, fellow talking shop podcaster, one of the best when it comes to Braves Country,

Mr. Eric Cole. Eric, how are you doing this evening, sir?

I'm doing well. I'm pretty sure that you might find some folks who would take some issue out there that I would say among the best in Braves Country, but I do appreciate the kind words.

And I'm glad to make the appearance on the show when we added the Daily Hammer to the feed a while ago.

I all of a sudden had a podcast on the feet that I didn't make an appearance on.

So I wanted to make sure that we got that cleared out.

And also, I'm really just happy just to be on the show and talk to you.

It's my pleasure and can say the same as well.

And it's fun to celebrate.
