The podcast episodes provided focus on the topic of corporal punishment, exploring the debate around the use of physical discipline on children.

The first episode 'The Data Does Not Say Spanking Is Bad (Why No One Will Tell You)' challenges the mainstream narrative against corporal punishment, citing a study that suggests mild, immediate physical correction can have positive effects. It explores the evolutionary and cultural basis for physical communication with children, while critiquing the ideological bias and potential harms of alternative disciplinary methods.

The second episode '#1587 What Conservatives Think of When They Think of the Children: Child Labor, Child Brides, Child Mothers, Childhood Poverty, Child Indoctrination' examines the prevalence of corporal punishment in schools, particularly in conservative states, as a form of violence against children, in the context of other conservative policies that harm children.
