The podcast episodes highlight how advocacy and social movements play a crucial role in driving progress and change on important societal issues.

In the first episode, Ai-jen Poo discusses her advocacy work through the National Domestic Workers Alliance to raise awareness and fight for the rights and fair treatment of domestic caregivers, a highly undervalued and marginalized workforce "How to care for the people who take care of us (w/ Ai-jen Poo)".

The second episode explores the historical arguments and backlash against women's suffrage, illustrating how advocacy for political and social change often faces strong opposition, and how the echoes of those debates still resonate today "The History of Bad Ideas: Anti-Suffragettes".
