James and Soraya revisit the Bronze Age Collapse to talk about aspects we missed in the main series!
2017-08-12 05:09:58 +0000 UTC View PostWe set up our trusty bowl yesterday and put in all the suggestions you sent us in June and July, then drew one lucky winner... Teddy Roosevelt! Looks like he'll be making his return to the Patreon polls earlier than we expected, though he still has to win that poll in order to get his own series.
Teddy Roosevelt will join three other topics (selected by James) which will go live in a Patreon poll for all $5+ supporters starting tomorrow, August 12. The patron who sent in this suggestion has be...
2017-08-11 17:10:20 +0000 UTC View PostAlas we didn't hit our target to get back on time with the release this week, so Lies will be going up in the evening Pacific time, likely around 6pm to 10pm.

We're still not quite back on schedule after the break, so there will be another early access delay on this week's episode! We expect the episode to go up in the evening around 6-10pm Pacific.

Extra History will be back this week, but after all the frantic schedule swapping, early access will be late! At the moment, we still expect it to come out a bit early for $3+ folks, but instead of coming out at 10am PST (24 hours before the regular release), we estimate that it will come out during 6-10pm PST (16-12 hours before the regular release). But it is definitely on its way, and there will absolutely be more Extra History for you this week!
P.S. Yes, the image that accompanies this po...

Since we won't have a new episode this week, how about a Q&A to give us all something to look forward to this Saturday!

It started with famine... and ended with four great civilizations' utter destruction. What can we learn from the Bronze Age Collapse?
Reminder: After this episode, Extra History will be taking a short medical leave. We'll be back starting on July 29!
Hey folks! Our artist for the Bronze Age series (David) fell ill so we're giving him a few weeks off and getting guest artists in to cover a few episodes. Don't worry, David is on the road to recovery and getting excellent care from his loved ones!
Right now, we believe that we'll have this week's episode (the conclusion to Bronze Age Collapse) available this week, though early access may be late if it's available at all. After that, Extra History will be taking a week off on July 22 to give o...

Marauders swept in from the sea, and the cities of the Bronze Age crumbled before them. Why did they fall so quickly?

At the end of April, we reached one million subscribers on YouTube. Today, we want to celebrate that achievement with the people who made it happen: YOU.
Delayed post: Sorry folks, it's been pointed out to me that this episode went up on YouTube but not on Patreon! This was originally released on June 20. Hopefully most of you caught it there, but for those who like to chat with us in the comments here, we wanted to make sure you got that opportunity - even if it's out of order!

After the Bronze Age collapse, we would not see societies so advanced for another half a millenium. What happened?

The Allies went to great lengths to hide their planned invasion of Normandy from the Germans. But did it work?

The Extra History team sat down for a Q&A with $5+ patrons on June 24! Come view the archive and catch any questions you may have missed!
Note: This post was originally released with the wrong headline, one that implied the Q&A was about to take place. It has ALREADY taken place; this is just the archive. Sorry about that! Yours truly just got off a plane from VidCon. -_-

Did you forget about the Articles of Confederation? We didn't! It's time for Lies!
2017-06-16 18:16:20 +0000 UTC View Post
So much of the Articles of Confederation was plagued by the lack of money... and one of their longest-lasting legacies was that of the Continental Dollar, which became a synonym for "worthless" for centuries after the Articles were replaced. In that spirit, series artist Lil Chan brought together five of our leading actors in a production that we think really suits them!

The planned Normandy landings were too obvious to hide from Germany - so Britain found other ways to deceive them.

2017-06-09 17:00:00 +0000 UTC View PostHey folks! I haven't been roaming the comment sections like I usually do these past couple of weeks... as you've seen, we took on a double load of episodes for the two WWII series we're doing with Wargaming, and that's kept me wildly busy for a while. I've got some time this afternoon, so as I'm crawling through looking for questions I missed these past couple of weeks, I figured I'd drop a post here and invite anyone who just wants to hang out and chat via Patreon comment section to do so!
