    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.’

    WTW78: You'll Never Guess What Megyn Kelly Talked About At CPAC... Mar 03, 2025
    Show notes

    For like... 20 minutes... Megyn Kelly told an upside down world version of the Lively/Baldoni feud. There's a reason conservatives are very interested in this story, and I'll give you a hint it rhymes with pisogyny.

    WTW77: What Happens to Male Celebrities When They Give Bad Interviews? Mar 01, 2025
    Show notes

    We complete our Blake Lively Hatestorm Debunk by looking at some fun comparisons. What happens when celebrities who are men happen to have a bad interview, or have a damning tape released of their bad behavior? How does it stack up to a woman who said, "Congratulations on your little bump!" Equal crime, equal time? I think you know the answer.

    WTW76: Debunking the Deranged Blake Lively Hatestorm Mar 01, 2025
    Show notes

    Hey folks, big announcement!!! Our podcast, Gavel Gavel, is now available to the public! No longer is it only available on Patreon! This series on GG, we'll be covering the Blake Lively/Justin Baldoni legal battle. It is so fascinating for a million reasons. But this is a unique and standalone WTW episode, don't worry! The Blake Lively hatestorm that happened (Lydia will catch you up if you're not familiar) was absolute nonsense. It requires a debunk, just as any anti-woke scare story does. And debunk it, we shall!

    WTW75: Decades of Anti-woke Propaganda Has All Been to Get Us Here Jan 31, 2025
    Show notes

    To this administration and this moment. Today we discuss how Harmeet Dhillon plans to not just ruin the Civil Rights Division of the DoJ, but to actively point it in reverse. Lydia breaks it down for us, and along the way we learn about so many things we didn't appreciate enough while we had them.

    • DOJ's Fulton County Jail Investigation, November 2024

    • Dhillon's piece in Hillsdale College's Imprimis Publication, August 2022

    WTW74: The Woke Are Coming for Your DnD! - With Eli Bosnick Jan 28, 2025
    Show notes

    That's right, the woke are coming for YOUR Dungeons and Dragons! Look behind you, they're already here! These new woke rules are ruining the game and are actually the racists if you really think about it. Or maybe not and it's the same story of every fake woke controversy? We're not sure because we aren't NERDS*, so we invited an actual expert who is a huge nerd and host of an amazing DnD podcast, Eli Bosnick. Check out DnD Minus wherever podcasts are sold! Patrons get a very extended outtakes section!

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

    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!

    WTW72: Campus Reform Calls Out "Outrageous" Scientific Studies But Doesn't Understand How Science Works Jan 07, 2025
    Show notes

    Emily Sturge of Campus Reform is on the case, folks. Under her watch, the National Institute of Health will never misspend another dollar ever again. Lydia debunks the outrage from the Campus Reform article outlining 10 "outrageous" scientific inquiries funded with taxpayer money that the Right wants DOGE to "investigate."

    WTW71: UN Report Says Women Have Lost "900 Medals to Trans-Athletes." It's Bullshit. Jan 06, 2025
    Show notes

    This episode also could be called "Jerry Coyne is wrong and a liar." The FFRF published Jerry Coyne's anti-trans lies and then had to apologize. I was going to talk about that and the nature of inadequate apologies, but then I saw one of the claims in Coyne's piece and I HAD to debunk it. The fact that it comes from the UN shows how pernicious and extensive the anti-trans misinformation has become. Read this excellent and heartbreaking piece on Hailey Davidson.

    WTW70: San Jose State University's Volleyball Season That Wasn't About Volleyball Dec 01, 2024
    Show notes

    The Right Wing media ecosystem is all over Lydia's alma mater, San Jose State University, for a very unserious (surprise) reason: volleyball. Lydia breaks down the "controversy" for us.

    WTW69: Trump's MSG Rally Was a Preview of What Is to Come Nov 22, 2024
    Show notes

    It is very unfortunate that we weren't able to release this 4th and final part of Trump's MSG rally before the election, because a lot of the analysis was extremely prescient. But it is perhaps even more relevant now, because it features several characters who will be a part of the incoming fascism. And then, of course, the Führer himself.
