Now, thanks to the voters on Patreon, he will finally get that episode... and more besides! Bismarck ran away with the votes and will get his own series starting in the fall of 2017.

We hit the 1 million subscriber milestone on YouTube today, and wanted to thank all of you for your support! Honestly, we wouldn't be able to do even HALF of the projects we get to work on without the support of you folks on Patreon. We love every minute of this, and hope you do too.
We're also working on a special 1 million subs episode to celebrate with you all, but it's gonna take a bit! You know what our pipeline for Extra History is like. ;) Stay tuned, though: it is coming!

Murder. Theft. Abduction. Ned Kelly was the most wanted man in Australia. The price on his head got higher and higher, but no one seemed able to catch him.
