The podcast episodes explore the life of Gavrilo Princip, the young Bosnian Serb who assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand, an act which catalyzed the start of World War I. Princip's youthful defiance of authority and embrace of revolutionary ideals are framed as representative of a broader generational rebellion in early 20th century Europe.

In contrast, the 'Boyfriend Material' podcast focuses on the rebellious and sometimes reckless behavior of the host, Harry Jowsey, during his youth, as he reflects on his personal experiences with heartbreak, relationships, and sexual exploration in his 20s.

These two podcasts, though covering different historical and personal contexts, both shed light on the themes of youth rebellion, the desire for societal change, and the consequences of disaffected young individuals acting on their ideals.
