2017-04-23 20:42:31 +0000 UTCOur usual one-off music (Odds and Ends) is very peppy, so it didn't fit with the ending of this one. Odds and Ends will still be our default for one-off music, but we'll probably start re-using series music here and there where it seems fitting!

2017-04-23 20:42:26 +0000 UTCI read that she had two brothers, what happened to the one not mentioned?

2017-04-23 15:28:43 +0000 UTCAwesome episode! There's something so funny and yet awe-inspiring about Mary's hunt for poop. Maybe it's Dan's voice, maybe it's the art...either way, great job on the one-off! I'm glad I could learn about another Mary who changed the world we live in :) Any reason why you went for the Broad Stree Pump music? I love it and it fits in a way. I just wasn't expecting it.

And that Concludes this Week's Lecture on my understanding of why some Internet Pages look different after you try to send a link to other People.

2017-04-23 13:05:05 +0000 UTCBut what happened to the brother?
Kenneth Huang
2017-04-23 04:37:57 +0000 UTCYeah, I was!

2017-04-22 22:41:35 +0000 UTCAh, I see it now! There's no button for me. The page looks like this: <a href="https://puu.sh/vsXBp/e2d28ab564.png" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://puu.sh/vsXBp/e2d28ab564.png</a> I tried signing up for User Experience Research studies, but, we'll see.

2017-04-22 22:41:20 +0000 UTCIronically, I knew about Mary from dinosaur books as a kid, but had no idea she inspired that rhyme.

Martin Verran
2017-04-22 18:50:34 +0000 UTCI'm glad you've heard it before, though! It's a bit of a consolation prize and I wish she could have known during her life that she would be celebrated, but at least as a society we are starting to do the work of recognizing and appreciating contributions like hers.
Extra History
2017-04-22 18:43:37 +0000 UTCYeah, but at least none of the men who stole her work got to be named to receive any credit in this episode. >:)
Extra History
2017-04-22 18:41:22 +0000 UTCI initially learned about her elsewhere, but I did find their piece on her while researching this episode! I'm very happy to see it got the attention it did. The more people who talk about Mary Anning, the better!
Extra History
2017-04-22 18:40:50 +0000 UTCGood morning, happy episode!
Extra History
2017-04-22 18:40:17 +0000 UTCPeople were socially conservative and Mary had the deck stacked against her in a lot of ways. She was poor, she was a woman, and she wasn't of the Anglican faith (which I didn't go into for this script; she did wind up converting later in life). And yet! She persisted.

2017-04-22 18:40:03 +0000 UTCThat's where I first heard about her.
David Lundin
2017-04-22 17:44:37 +0000 UTCYeah my Mum works at the Sedgwick Museum in Cambridge (England) and there are a few displays and stuff about what she did and what she contributed.
Elliot Hobbs
2017-04-22 17:27:40 +0000 UTCI think so as well, but it would probably be lost in time and space (see what i did there?) If it wasn't included into the mythos
Yuval Bar
2017-04-22 17:26:31 +0000 UTCKing in Yellow predates Cthulhu, doesn't it? I thought Cthulhu mythos was partially inspired by the original King in Yellow story.

2017-04-22 17:23:37 +0000 UTCDid you know her already? That's great!
Extra History
2017-04-22 16:55:40 +0000 UTCIt makes me very happy to hear that you learned about her while researching paleontology at such a young age!
Extra History
2017-04-22 16:55:33 +0000 UTCIve heard her story a few times before, but i always forget how much(often) Mary gets screwed.

2017-04-22 16:37:31 +0000 UTCGee, a woman doing all the work and having men take all the credit for it? Never heard that one before! Nope, never.
Michael Jebbett
2017-04-22 16:34:28 +0000 UTCOne of the books had the yellow sign, a marking of one of the cthulhu mythos gods, there were also a couple of cultists and a cthulhu thingy, maybe a starborn in the episode as well
Yuval Bar
2017-04-22 12:57:15 +0000 UTCEven the Tea Party would be bleeding-heart liberals in the Victorian era. Hm, that might make an interesting time travel story. Some extreme-right-wing nutjob goes back in time far enough that his ideas are perceived as radical, with some arguments between them that even normal right-leaning folks would think are ridiculous by modern standards...
Timothy McLean
2017-04-22 12:57:05 +0000 UTCI'm not that familiar with the Cthulhu Mythos, but I remember reading about that in an RPG book. Mind explaining the connection for folks like us?
Timothy McLean
2017-04-22 12:54:42 +0000 UTCI assume you don't mean personally?
Timothy McLean
2017-04-22 12:53:55 +0000 UTCRejected Princesses did one on her! They're amazing, and worth a checkout.
Edward James Lehar
2017-04-22 12:50:17 +0000 UTCThis IS the Victorian Period they are talking about, bear in mind. People were a lot more Socially Conservative Back then, far more so than People are Today, I'm happy to say.

2017-04-22 12:40:02 +0000 UTCI Think I must've been participating in a Barbaric Ritual Known as 'sleeping' when this was uploaded. Man, I love these Series.

2017-04-22 07:23:45 +0000 UTCI am interested in paleontology, and I knew her when was 10 years old. Much respect to her....

2017-04-22 06:56:06 +0000 UTCI love your videos, even if I know about the topic already, you always give such a broad coverage of a subject everyone can learn something new.
Elliot Hobbs
2017-04-22 06:55:45 +0000 UTCI'll take what I can get! I certainly don't want to see the main series to get shorter. That would just mean cut content, and that's not how history works.
Scott Masters
2017-04-22 06:53:46 +0000 UTCIt all depends on the length of the main series! Due to production schedules, we have our artists rotate in six week sets. If the main series goes less than six weeks, we fill the remaining spots with a one-of (or two)!
Extra History
2017-04-22 06:38:58 +0000 UTCI absolutely love this as a one off. I would love to see one between each series.
