This week, the boys in the studio return to a topic they tabled during the very first episode; masculinity. What it means, the traits which define the masculine ideal, and how the very concept has been commoditized and sold back to young men battling insecurity while trying to find their place in the modern world.

It's a deep and heavy topic, but the Cast still finds time for a bunch of other stuff in the news.

- "Alligator Alcatraz" closes down

- A self driving Tesla crashing through a house in Texas, killing a grandmother

- The strange and tragic death of Oliver Tree

and a few mini reviews of some recent theatrical releases, like Obsession, the Back Rooms, and the He-Man movie!

This week, the Cast explores a variety of topics, most focused on the Trump administration's various failures, quagmires, and debacles.

We talk about the MAGA military quietly walking back their anti-vaccination stance, making vaccination mandatory once again after outbreaks amongst the troops.

We're gonna get into the embarrassing and never ending Reflecting Pool renovation stupidity.

We'll cover the bi-partisan Housing Bill that Trump refused to support or sign.

And on a more positive note, we analyze Ukraine turning the tides of war, and making real headway after five years living under Russian invasion.

Thank you for taking the time to join us once again for more real working class, left wing talk about our shared world!

This week on WokeCast, a much smaller crew of just Mitch, Nick, and Doug gather in the studio to chat about The Fourth of July, the Knicks shocking NBA championship win, World Cup shenanigans, and Trump's already failed Memorandum of Understanding with Iran.

We go though the Memorandum point by point, showing all the ways Trump's fake peace deal was a massive blunder for the U.S. and pontificate that peace was never the actual goal here, as Trump is far more interested in a forever war to bolster the military industrial complex and help distract Americans from all his many, many, MANY domestic failures. We talk about Congress' attempt at a War Powers Resolution to end this madness, and the Republican cowards who stopped it from crossing the finish line.

Thanks for supporting independent left wing media! If change is going to happen, it has to begin with the way we circulate and consume news.

This week, the wokest cast on the internet catches up on the 10,000 (number is only an estimate) news stories we've missed through May and June!

Including, but not limited to:

-Elon Musk posing as his own mother on Twitter

-ICE assaulting and pulling a gun on an innocent teenage in a case of mistaken identity

- Spirit Airlines going out of business

-Alligator Alcatraz going out of business

-Trump's ballroom scam

-The perfectly reasonable Cole Thomas Allen

-A 17 year old Charlie Kirk fan murdering two teen girls in the name of Charlie Kirk

-The Star Fox 64 remake

And after all that, we spend the second half discussing why America has had such a problem building a true left wing political movement.

A belated Happy Juneteenth to all! This week, the boys dive into the voter suppression crisis happening throughout the U.S. with all the recent biased Supreme Court decisions, both at the federal and state levels, allowing Republicans to reshape districts while denying Democrats the same. Decisions that directly target and will most deeply impact black voters and politicians.

All of which closely mirrors the past sixteen years in Hungary, under the one party, right wing, fascist rule of Victor Orban, who was finally ousted from power when the people of Hungary came together and came out to vote in record numbers.

Hungary has given us the roadmap to defeat autocratic rule by a right wing fascist, but will America bother to read that map?

But first, the cast catches up on sports stories we've missed out on from the NBA, NFL, MLB, and the World Cup!

This episode was originally recorded on May 9th, and technical issues have kept us from uploading over the last few weeks. While some of the information may be slightly dated, it's also still relevant and still important!

On this week's very special episode of WokeCast, the boys take a look back on the first twenty episodes of the show and update a topic covered in each.

It's a fast paced episode, covering twenty previous episodes in the span of a single hour! Has the male loneliness epidemic improved? Has any new information come forward that would change our minds on Kamala Harris' 2024 loss? What is the legacy of Charlie Kirk? The cast explores these questions and seventeen others as we celebrate twenty great episodes in the can!

Thanks for joining us for our wackiest episode yet! This week, we chat about a few newsworthy items:

• John Kerry's reveal that Netanyahu has tried to get every president since 1992 to bomb Iran
• Janet Mills making community college in Maine free
• RFK starting a crummy podcast

Then we dive into a surprise game of hypotheticals. Should a super intelligent gorilla be allowed to play in the NFL? How much cash would you give a wizard who can make you more attractive? Would you want to watch your nightly dreams if your friends and family had to watch with you? You know, the important stuff.

So if you've been waiting for an episode that's light on politics, sport, and culture, and instead wanted to learn how the cast thinks and what lines they will and won't cross, this is the episode for you!

Bienvenue, mes amis! WokeCast returns for their 18th episode just in time for the start of spring!

This week the boys in the studio sit down to talk over Shawn Harris' valiant losing effort to flip a House seat in a very red district of Georgia.

We talk about the tragic death of 19 year old Royer Perez Jimenez, the 42nd person who has died in ICE custody since Trump took office, and the youngest victim ICE will take credit for, so far.

Then it's our deep dive into the Artemis II mission, what it means for the United States, patriotism, and our space program moving forward.

And finally, we wrap it all up with our preview of Wrestlemania, happening this weekend. How did something so fun, like professional wrestling, fall so far in the past few years? Corporate meddling, or just a lack of talent at the top of the major American wrestling organizations? Turns out the answer is both!

But in the first half, we're talking about:

• Jan 6th'er Jake Lang flirting with 15 year olds
• Trump's mass deportation messaging rock and hard place
• Claims from a pretentious rock star that the CIA killed rock
