Mckesson talks about culture, social justice, and politics by exploring the history, language, and people who are shaping the struggle for progress — and talking about the steps that each of us can take to make a difference. When asked about the podcast's purpose, Mckessen said: "It is about creating space for conversation about the most important issues of the week. It is also about making sure people have the information they need to be the most thoughtful activists and organizers".
Notable guests have included Edward Snowden, Senator Cory Booker, soccer player Megan Rapinoe, Reverend Al Sharpton, singer John Legend, TV host Ricki Lake and singer Katy Perry.
Earlier analysts on the show included Samuel Sinyangwe, Clint Smith, and Brittany Packnett.
