Some say we're entering the Woke 2.0 era. Is that real or imagined?
From declining Target sales to Mamdani's election, some folks online are feeling a vibe shift. Is that feeling...woke? And if so, does that mean woke is back in style?
To answer those questions - and to dissect whether or not woke ever left - Brittany is joined by
Constance Grady, senior correspondent at Vox, and
Tyler Austin Harper, staff writer at The Atlantic and co-host of the podcast,
Time to Say Goodbye.
