Episodes frequently take the form of "deep dives into conservative intellectual history", but have occasionally featured guest appearances from "enemies" such as New York Times opinion columnist Ross Douthat, and National Review contributor Nate Hochman. Featured historical subjects have included the life of ex-communist conservative intellectual Frank Meyer, Joan Didion's conservatism, and a three part series of the Right wing effort to overturn Roe v. Wade.[4][5]
