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?

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

that DeSantis' policies would uproot.

man. We got two weeks left until opening day. It feels like spring training is just flying by.

Yeah, normally with the WBC, you know, it drags on, or at least it feels like it drags on.

But this year, I don't know why, but it feels like it's flying by.

Like the 30th will be here.

And maybe the, you know, having the NCAA tournament certainly helps.
