About Where There's Woke
Every single time the right, or even center-left, goes ballistic over a "woke" controversy, the slightest bit of investigation shows the scandal is almost entirely bogus. This is not a new phenomenon; it dates back decades. It's an intentional tool used to protect the powerful and preserve the status quo, while further scapegoating and otherizing those who push for political progress. This podcast digs into not just today's fake scandals, but those of yesterday and yesteryear. The terminology has changed some, but the pattern has not. Listen in as host Thomas Smith shines a light on the panic, the fragility, the overreaction, and the lying that ignites 'Where There's Woke.'

Like they lost their lead fundraiser. I mentioned the provost changed out. The president changed out. All of this turnover, this tumultuous turnover, not to mention all the people who left that were like founding members when they realized, oh, the science class is going to teach about insolvent. I don't buy it, you know, kind of thing. Steven Pinker, Heather Hying. There's also this element of the story in the Politico piece that a lot of people haven't been talking about as much. […]
