Woke is BACK! ...really?

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.
