The channel features Callaghan traveling around the United States conducting vox pop interviews at various events, such as conventions and music festivals.

The idea for All Gas No Brakes was conceived during the summer after high school in which Callaghan hitchhiked across the United States before beginning his journalism studies at Loyola University New Orleans.

[7] In March 2021, Callaghan announced via social media that he, along with his team, are no longer involved with production of All Gas No Brakes, as well as its television series currently being produced.

Doing Things Media had become increasingly uncomfortable with the political leanings of the show, specifically an episode focusing on the George Floyd protests in Minneapolis.

[10] According to Callaghan, the partnership began when Abso Lutely co-founder Eric Wareheim privately messaged him on Twitter to ask about the prospects of creating a television series.

The people Callaghan interviewed tend to be members of fringe subcultures such as furries, flat earthers, and others that he says represent "true Americana".
