تهدف سلسلة بودكاست «الهيئة في الأمل» إلى إشراك المستمعين في قضية المفقودين والمخفيين قسراً من أجل تشجيع دعم الأسر في محنتهم وتجنب اللجوء إلى العنف والعمل على تحقيق سلام مستدام في لبنان.

تبدأ كل حلقة من البودكاست بسرد لقصة فقدان من قبل أحد الأهالي، ثم يتبع ذلك نقاش مع خبير يتطرق لجوانب مختلفة من القضية: الجانب القانوني والجانب التاريخي وصدمة الاختفاء واحتياجات عائلات المفقودين ودور الإعلام والفن في القضية.
