The podcast episodes explore how supply chain issues, such as those caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, have impacted inflation and economic trends. For example, "We still don't really know how inflation works" discusses how supply chain disruptions are a potential factor driving inflation, while "Part 4: Heat Pumps for Peace" highlights the supply chain challenges faced by manufacturers in meeting increased demand for heat pumps and solar panels.

The episodes also examine other factors, such as the concept of "greedflation" where corporations raise prices excessively during crises to boost profits, as covered in "Greedflation Is Real".
