History Podcast / Psycomedia

* TitleDrop: Reversed, in that each episode title comes from something said in the episode. Often leads to LongTitle

* {{Brief Accent Imitation}}: Concerning South Africa, and the mysterious word 'kif'

* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: Used for the Frankenpodcasts, which are named after the [[{{Film/Frankenstein 1931}} Universal film series.]]

* LampshadedTheObscureReference: Often via the use of Venn diagram. Often involving the StarWars Expanded Universe in Tim's case.

* PungeonMaster: To continue the influence of Podcast/{{The Bugle}}, Ben is definitely this.

* EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys: Likely to be horribly, horribly subverted. But sometimes played joyously straight (chimp communication or a monkey with a robot arm).

* BitingTheHandHumor: Tim and Ben both attended [[OxBridge Oxford University]] but many episodes focus on the bizarre research of their teachers and other faculty members. Lovingly. And not libellously.

* ProudToBeAGeek: Regarding psychology, yes. Regarding Tim nearly seeing ThePhantomMenace on Valentine's Day, alone, less so.

* RunningGag: Damn you Squire!, the plan to congratulate Creator/DavidMitchell and [[Series/OnlyConnect Victoria Coren]] on their engagement, Phineas Gage Zombie Hunter, controlling a particular listener's life, backfeeding, Tim's hate of the word backfeeding, Tim hating having to bleep things, delicious cake.

* PungeonMaster: To continue the influence of {{The Bugle}}, Ben is definitely this.

* DeletedScene: The Frankenpodcasts are built from deleted scenes, just like TheBugle.

* BritishAccents: Of course, but notably when the hosts of [[VideoGame/KingdomOfLoathing Advice Hot Dog]] claim they would believe anything said by Tim and Ben purely because of their accents.

* BritishAccents: Of course, but notably when the hosts of [[KingdomOfLoathing Advice Hot Dog]] claim they would believe anything said by Tim and Ben purely because of their accents.

* SmallNameBigEgo[=/=]{{Narcissist}}: Tim will always promote himself and accepts any theory that boosts his ego, despite being a minor podcaster and unpublished writer. Ben suggests that Tim's self-esteem is impossible to measure because it's too high. This especially extends to Tim's many feuds, with [[{{Stewart Lee}} Lee]] and [[{{Richard Herring}} Herring]], {{Emma Watson}} and {{Angelina Jolie}}

* ''TheOnlyWayIsEssex'': Referenced, as Ben is from Essex, but bears no resemblance to any Essex stereotype. The same is true of Tim, who is supposedly from UsefulNotes/TheMidlands.

* RealDreamsAreWeirder: One episode features a discussion on this, with Tim's nightmare about DavidCameron and George Osborne.

** And speaking of Series/{{Catchphrase}}, Tim loves to watch {{Blockbusters}} on Challenge TV too, and what was that we just did, that was a belaboured segue!
