No conflict there if you're used to their New England shows like Car Talk and Wait Wait (* pretending Chicago is New England for the moment). They were always woke, as in constantly making identity jokes about ethnic white people like Jews and Italians.

This was a joke right? Of all the shows to use as an example of being woke your going to pick Car Talk? I can't stand NPR News but CarTalk was great.

A progressive public radio show run by two ethnic MIT graduates? Yes.

That’s kind of the opposite of woke.

No, it's the same thing the article is complaining about now - constantly talking about different identity groups. Those are comedy shows so they present things through comedy.

Also, the panelists only ever talk about their own identity group. Non-woke would be talking about other people's.
