The programme covers world affairs with expert guests in conversation with the programme's hosts. It usually covers two separate stories; one in each half of the 30-minute slot.

There are some trademarks and catchphrases in each episode, including Galloway, just before turning to social media contributions, saying: "What's rattling, Gayatri?", and his sign-off: "It's been marvellous!"
