Through a mix of diverse music, interesting discussions, interviews, stories, news, and events, the program entertains and informs Lusophones in the diaspora and Lusophiles alike, as well as the general community - especially people interested in culture, history, politics, music and world affairs.

Lusophones are people who speak the Portuguese language, either as native speakers or as learners. "Luso" derives from the Latin word for the ancient area known today as Portugal, Lusitania. "Phone" comes from the Ancient Greek word phōnē, meaning "voice".

There are about 280 million Portuguese speakers worldwide, making it the sixth most spoken in the world. Countries that are part of the Lusosphere include:

Angola; Brazil; Cape Verde; Goa (India); Timor-Leste; Equitorial Guinea; Guinea-Bissau; Macau (China); Mozambique; Portugal; Sao Tome and Principe.
