The podcast episodes provided focus on divestment campaigns related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, with protesters on college campuses calling for universities to divest from companies tied to the Israeli military or occupation.

The episodes discuss the civil resistance protests, the universities' responses and concerns about antisemitism, as well as the broader political and financial implications of such divestment campaigns. #1627 Campus Protests and the Crackdown: Civil resistance against Israeli genocide in Gaza, responses from university presidents to Biden and The mounting antiwar protests on college campuses explore these issues in depth.

Divestment campaigns have historically been used as a tactic for social and political change, such as the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa. The current campus protests reflect a broader effort to leverage university endowments and investments to influence the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
