The show was produced in Philadelphia and featured local Philadelphia politicians, academics and artists, including guests such as Governor Ed Rendell, as well as national and international figures of interest, like Nobel Prize winner Muhammad Yunus.
The show and its host have been acknowledged as one of WHYY Radio's strongest assets.
During a normal show, Marty Moss-Coane typically interviewed guests and then invited callers to ask questions and make comments on the air.
Radio Times' theme music was "Can't Run But" by Paul Simon off his 1990 album The Rhythm of the Saints.
