During podcast episodes, Kid Fury and Crissle discuss and analyze pop culture and current events.<ref name="flavor"/><ref name="bi"/><ref name="wp"/> The two hosts have been friends for many years, and this camaraderie adds to the witty banter listeners enjoy each week. Both Kid Fury and Crissle are very open about their lives, including their sexuality and this creates an inclusive atmosphere. <ref>{{Cite web|title = The Read|url = http://thisistheread.com/|website = The Read|access-date = 2016-01-26}}</ref> The podcast's format has four sections:
