Topics covered on the show are incredibly diverse, from [[Ride/DisneyThemeParks Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom]] to UsefulNotes/TheComicsCode to the impact of tuberculosis on fashion trends. At the end of each episode, they read fan mail based on the theme requested from last episode (e.g. weird things about your local city or your favourite historical ship) and give a fanmail "prompt" which [[{{Foreshadowing}} foreshadows]] the next episode's topic.

* NeverLiveItDown:[[invoked]] [[DiscussedTrope Discussed]] in relation to Fredric Wertham, author of ''Seduction of the Innocent'', whose many achievements in the world of psychology and education (particularly with civil rights and desegregation) are completely overshadowed by ''Seduction'''s impact on the [[MoralGuardians moral panic backlash against comics]] and the heavy self-regulated censorship by UsefulNotes/TheComicsCode. They also note that eventually, [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone even Wertham himself]] felt that the sanitized, kid-friendly violence that came out of Code-era comics did more harm than good, since it presented an unrealistic depiction of violent acts that made it seem consequence-free and playful.

* NightmareFetishist: Whenever Alaina is the teacher, you can expect her topics to be full of [[KillEmAll death]], [[NauseaFuel gore]] and [[TearJerker general depression]]. For instance, during the pilot episode on the history of Mackinac Island, Alaina related her favourite (and extremely graphic) story on how Alexis St. Martin's [[IJustShotMarvinInTheFace self-inflicted gut shot]] while fur trading led to the discovery of how the human digestive system works. Keep in mind she apparently first heard this story when she was '''''seven years old'''''. Even her episode on The Magic Kingdom took time to point out how Walt Disney died before ground ever broke at Walt Disney World despite being heavily involved in the planning stages, and his brother Roy died of a seizure just two months after its opening day. What Alaina ''doesn't'' like is anything about animals dying.

* JigsawPuzzlePlot: The Count Dante episode gives us a RealLife example regarding April 24th, 1970, the deadliest day of the "Dojo Wars". As Grant puts it: "Nobody's accounts of this event match!" There are several different versions of what occured, including a sensational magazine story and a legal account; varying on how Dante and company entered the rival dojo, how many people were waiting inside, what happened, etc.

Additionally, the first few episodes had the role of "teacher" decided by a [[HeadsOrTails coin flip]]; after negative listener feedback (and Alaina's growing frustration with the coin flip), they decided to just take turns instead.

Before those, he covered the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which also involved history's bloodiest civil war and worst manmade disaster with deaths in the millions, to Alaina's surprise.
