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.

Hello, SB Nation, and welcome to your SB Nation World Series preview, presented by T-Mobile.

I'm your host, John Stolness, from the Phillies website, The Good Fight.

Phillies, of course, nowhere near the playoffs, and yet I'm here to talk to you ahead of the fall classic coming up this week.

You can follow me on Twitter at John Stoleness, but I'm got one guy on the program who's very, very happy to get this fall classic underway.

Chris Willis is joining us from Talking Chop.

You can follow him on Twitter at Chris underscore Willis.

We're going to be breaking this thing down.

And also Ashley McLennan at 90 feet from home is the Twitter handle there.

She writes for D-Rays Bay, bleed cubbies blue, and bless you boys. Chris, Ashley, how's it going?

Doing good. John, how are you?

Doing, Chris, I imagine you're doing better than I am. I imagine you're doing better than Ashley and me, right?

Yeah. Yeah. I've overcome my sadness from the ALDS, and I'm kind of just accepting

life as it is after the race lost there. Chris has got to be on cloud nine. Well, so much of life

is acceptance, right? I mean, yeah. Yeah, it's been a heck of a ride. That's for sure. I wasn't sure I'd be sitting back in this for this podcast, you know, when we did this week as O'Go.
