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.

Check out the latest mini-series on Into the Mix

of Ben and Jerry's podcast.

I am your host, Brad

Roland. It is Sunday evening. Thanksgiving is nearly here and I am joined as often by Eric Cole.

Hello, sir. How are you? I'm doing well. Kind of recovering from a little bit from a sinus

infection, which is, you know, always a great start to the holiday week. But beyond that, I'm doing

well. I'm excited to talk baseball with you. And, and you know you've been a pretty busy man yourself so I hope

you're finding a way to get some rest here in there no not really but hey it's not

quite a man that never sleeps it's not quite as crazy as it was in October so I will

take small solace in that we're not recording every night at like 1 a.m.

That was obviously worth it at the end, but it was a long month of October.

Yeah, it was.

The postseason run certainly, it was hard for me to imagine being more tired than I was after the, after the 2020 season.

You know what I mean?

There you go.
