Welcome back and thanks for being so dang cool to follow us through 26 episodes! This week, the boys in the studio return to a discussion tabled in our very first episode; masculinity. What does being masculine look like in 2026? What are the tenets of masculinity? The very philosophy has been stolen, commoditized, and sold back to young American men battling insecurity and borderline poverty, so what can we do to win it back? All these ideas and more will be explored this week.
But you know that's not all we've got for you! The Cast will also cover some recent news stories, including the tragic death of Oliver Tree, the closure of "Alligator Alcatraz", a self driving Tesla crashing through a house in Texas killing a 76 year old grandmother, and some quick mini movie reviews for Obsession, The Back Rooms, and Masters of the Universe. 

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.

WokeCast remains 100% independent, always ad free, always free free, honest, direct, and will never insult your intelligence.
As always, this episode and every other one are also available on Spotify for your listening convenience!
