The mandate of Out in the Open was to "peel back the layers of one big issue," with each episode devoted to a single contemporary topic.
[2] Diverse points of view were featured, including interviews, debates, field documentaries and listener contributions.
Early episodes addressed topics such as oversharing (the topic for the first episode), the legalization of marijuana, belonging and identity, and sharing secrets online.
[2] Each Out in the Open episode was promoted in advance by a podcast, released 10 days in advance of the broadcast, that teased the episode's subject and invited listeners to submit their own stories, comments, and opinions related to the topic.
