The topic of 'Youth suicide' is the primary focus of the first podcast episode, which examines the alarming increase in suicide rates among young people in the United States. The episode explores potential contributing factors, such as the COVID-19 pandemic and social media use, and features personal stories, expert insights on accessing mental health resources, and efforts by universities to support students' well-being.

The second podcast episode also touches on the issue of youth suicides, with the host tying a disturbing case of state-sanctioned euthanasia in the Netherlands to broader issues around increasing youth suicide rates, which he argues are influenced by societal norms and media.
