The podcast episodes explore the global threat of endangered languages, with efforts to document, revitalize, and preserve these languages highlighted.

For example, the episodes discuss the critically endangered Vlaski language from Croatia "The Centenarian Stargazer", as well as the highly endangered Lakota language and the legal, ethical, and cultural complexities surrounding its preservation "Who does language belong to? A fight over the Lakota Language".

The episodes also touch on the broader context of language extinction, including the connection to humanitarian crises, cultural erosion, and ecological consequences.
