The show features journalists, authors, organizers, and artists, as well as John and MJ's own original reporting and analysis.

John and MJ's journalism can be found at Rolling Stone, Buzzfeed, Vice, The New Inquiry and more. Listeners are the most important part of Radio Dispatch, and the show strives to amplify the stories and narratives from those on the other end of the microphone.
