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.

some brighter days on the horizon with the CBA. And let's all hope for some baseball sooner than

which is better if we talk about baseball, because baseball is what the podcast is about, Scott.

I'm not sure if we knew that.

But deep down, as much as we like to talk about college basketball and movies and things,

really actually about baseball.

We joked during like the COVID season that if it went long enough,

we were going to have to do like Brad's favorite movies and Scott's favorite recipes.
