- Author Appeal: Some of the narrators specialize in covering particular sports or subjects.
- Will Buikema writes most of Secret Base's Ice Hockey videos, to the point that in an episode of Fumble Dimension about NHL 22, Kofie singled out Will as the channel's "hockey expert".
- Steven Godfrey focused on Collegiate American Football and the seedy underbelly of corruption in college recruiting practices. His most notable contribution to the channel is the documentary miniseries Foul Play: Paid in Mississippi, about the impact of boosters
on the college game as seen through the rivalry between Ole Miss and Mississippi State. - Seth Rosenthal is a huge basketball fan, especially the New York Knicks, and has also made videos about college basketball, international tournaments, and the WNBA.
- Kofie Yeboah's content focused almost entirely on sports video games, and he hosted two sports game-themed shows, Fumble Dimension and Most Virtual Player. He even has a brief appearance in the Dorktown documentary The History of the Atlanta Falcons to talk about how overpowered Michael Vick was in Madden NFL 2004.
- Creator-Acknowledged Meme: Some commenters liked to half-jokingly request a Rewinder episode about the channel itself. In August 2020, as part of a promotional campaign announcing their rebrand, SB Nation uploaded "The creation of Secret Base needs a deep rewind".
- Creator's Oddball: Foul Play: Paid in Mississippi is a Documentary miniseries with on-location shooting, Vox Pops, and Talking Heads. While Secret Base has produced other feature-length documentary videos, none of them use these tropes, and more closely resemble either the format of a YouTube video essay or the Signature Style of creative director Jon Bois.
