It broadcasts live for two hours each weekday, 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time, and is distributed globally via EWTN, terrestrial radio, and various digital audio platforms.

The program’s format is centered on listener interaction, allowing callers to submit questions on topics ranging from scripture and Church history to morality and contemporary social issues.

Common episode formats include "Open Forum" sessions, where any question is permitted, and specialized segments such as "Why Aren't You Catholic?" and "Ask Me Anything." These segments aim to foster dialogue between the hosts and individuals from diverse religious or philosophical backgrounds, including skeptics and members of other faith traditions. The show is characterized by its commitment to civil discourse and logical analysis, aiming to provide clear answers to complex religious questions. With an extensive archive of past broadcasts available online, the program serves as a comprehensive educational resource for a worldwide audience.
