Where There's Woke

By: Thomas Smith
  • Summary

  • 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.'

  • WTW73: Elon Musk Claimed to Be a Top PoE2 Gamer. Turns Out He Was Cheating
    Jan 20 2025

    This is the best. It's just the best. Elon Musk is so pathetic that he tried to fake being a world class gamer, only to completely humiliate himself when he live-streamed himself gaming. Look, it's a dark day for our country as Trump is inaugurated, so treat yourself to something nice. A DOUBLE episode on Elon's catastrophic and very public failure, and with special guest Noah Lugeons!
