Veteran ABC journalist Leigh Sales hosts the show, which follows Autistic journalism students as they are mentored by her and refine their skills. Each episode culminates in a candid interview with prominent Australians from diverse fields, including sports, politics, film, television, and music.

With potentially thought-provoking questions on the agenda, Leigh wonders if the students can delve beneath Delta’s polished public image.
