History Podcast / ThatPeterCrouchPodcast

* RecurringCharacter: Peter's wife, model Abigail Clancy, often appeared -- especially in the episodes recorded during lockdown when Peter, Tom and Chris could not meet up to record the pod and so had to do in from their own homes. Famously, Abi referred to Tom and Chris as her husband's "silly little mates".

* {{Troll}}: Karl, a listener who emailed in in the first episode to take the mickey out of Peter for being tall. Which quickly gave the pod its first catchphrase -- "piss off, Karl".

* ToiletHumour: Lots. There was even a suggestion that the pod could be advertised in men's toilets in football grounds and pubs across England with the tag-line "piss the pod" (riffing on the usual "pass the pod" encouragement to spread the word about the pod).

* ProductPlacement: Of a sort. The boys picked up on how other BBC podcasts were advertised at the end of theirs, which eventually resulted in Louis Theroux (whose podcast seemed to be particularly prevalent in these ads) being a guest on the pod.

* SelfieFiend: Kind of. The RunningGag in the third series involved listeners sending in selfies taken with the legendary Manchester United defender Roy Keane. Who is well-known for hating it when people want to take selfies with him. Things then took a turn for the surreal when a Hampshire art gallery agreed to host an exhibition of the sixteen best ones (that number being chosen in honour of Keane's squad number when he was at Man U), entitled "The Sixteenth Chapel".

* SpecialGuest: Plenty -- most (but by no means all) were former team-mates of Peter's. By far the highest profile was none other than Prince William (in his capacity of President of the Football Association), who invited them over to Kensington Palace for "That Prince William Episode".
* {{Troll}}: Karl. Who can piss off.

* TheNicknamer: The fact that footballers are prone to this is discussed several times. Things get taken to extremes with Peter's revelation that a former team-mate of his was known as "Parched" behind his back due to his habit of foresakeing a drinks break during training in order to integrate himself with the manager. Many episodes, and much speculation, followed before it was revealed that "Parched" was [[spoiler: Charlie Adam, a Scotland international who was Peter's team-mate at Stoke City]].
