The podcast episodes explore various aspects of the mother-child relationship, from the strong emotional connection between a mother and her abandoned son in the ancient Greek play 'Ion' to the personal journeys and reflections of modern mothers grappling with guilt, trauma, and the joys of parenting.

For example, the episode 'When the Pythia Speaks, You Listen (Euripides' Ion Part 4)' delves into the feminist themes and the mother-son reunion in the play, while 'Pop Culture Moms Talks to Tig' examines comedian Tig Notaro's relationships with her late mother and her own experience of becoming a parent.

The episode 'Mom Guilt Is Real, but So Is Healing' further highlights the complex emotions and dynamics within the mother-child relationship, as the podcast hosts undergo therapy sessions to address their personal struggles with 'mom guilt'.
