In the **[thirtieth episode of the WordPress Briefing,](https://wordpress.org/news/2022/05/episode-30-a-sneak-peek-at-wordpress-6-0/?)** Executive Director **[Josepha Haden Chomphosy](https://twitter.com/JosephaHaden)** and special guest **[Channing Ritter](https://twitter.com/critterverse)** give listeners a sneak peek into the WordPress 6.0 release ahead of the Release Candidate 1 (RC1). Learn more about Style Switcher and the Style variations coming with the Twenty-Twenty-Two theme updates. Chomphosy and Ritter also touch on the Block locking UI features for site builders. Ritter is the design release lead for WordPress 6.0 and she talks about the experience. It’s particular interesting because, the position wasn’t assigned for a few release cycles.
