Hey everyone,

Work on the next video is well underway and is progressing daily.

This might be my most research-intensive project to date. I have curated a fairly gigantic reading list--intimidatingly large--and I'm hoping to get through it as efficiently as possible. The narrative of the video is slowly starting to reveal itself, although I'm well aware how much work still needs to be done.

Luckily, I was able to find this topic and begin work within a week of the release of my most recent video, so there hasn't been much downtime; however, the project has only increased in scope since then, so at some point I will have to wrangle it in the interest of finishing it. This is one of those topics I could research for years and still feel there's more to learn.

Expect more interviews for this video. They went over well in the last video, and I enjoyed conducting them. It felt journalistically fulfilling, and it allowed for some narrative variety--so this will likely be the norm going forward. If feasibility allows for it, I'd also like to travel to some points of interest and do a bit of in-person investigating and interviewing. Although I haven't reached out to any potential interviewees yet, I have a growing list of individuals and contact info that I'm confident will agree to the project. I'll be reaching out to them as soon as I know exactly what I want to ask and how I want to approach the subject.

I'm hoping by this time next month, I will be moving beyond the conceptualization stage (which never truly ends until the video is out), and into the script writing and interviewing phase. Wish me luck!

That's all for now. Thank you all for your support and I'll see you in Discord!

Talk soon,
