The podcast episodes cover several aspects related to poverty alleviation, including microfinance, cash transfers, and universal basic income (UBI) programs.

For example, the episode "Argentine police and protesters clash in Buenos Aires" features an interview with Nobel Peace Prize laureate Mohammad Yunus, known for his pioneering work in microfinance and the Grameen Bank, which has helped lift millions out of poverty.

Another episode, "The Universal Basic Income experiment in Kenya", explores the effectiveness of lump sum cash payments versus regular monthly UBI payments in alleviating poverty in Kenya.

The episode "The Intelligence: Strikes, a careful balance" also briefly mentions the model of direct cash transfers to impoverished individuals as an alternative approach to traditional philanthropy.
