We've teamed up with the folks at Wargaming to create an extra series of Extra History about World War II: The Battle of Kursk!
Starting on February 15, we'll have new episodes for you every other week. And yes, that's a Monday, not a Saturday: this series will not interrupt your regular Extra History show. Instead, you'll get two episodes every other week!
Although the Patreon rewards (like early access) won't apply to this bonus series, we'll post the new episodes here so they'...

When a shadow engulfs the empire - and Justinian - it is only Theodora who can save it.

Pressing in on Justinian from the south, the Persian king delivers a master class in trollsmanship.
Thank you so much for the support this month!

At last Belisarius has victory in his grasp, and the only thing that stands in his way... is Justinian.

Justinian & Theodora are back! In Italy, their general faces fierce opposition... but not from the enemies he expected.

The results are in: the First Opium War will join the Extra History line-up in June 2016!
Our current schedule: Justinian & Theodora --> Suleiman the Great --> Early Christian Heresies --> First Opium War
Congratulations to the patron who suggested this topic as their $15 tier reward, who will get sponsor credits in each episode when the series airs!

If you can't wait for this week's return of Justinian as much as WE can't wait for it, the Kiner Brothers have you covered. Feast your ears on "Monogenes Pais," the new ending theme for the second half of the series, which we thinks just the right tone for the second half of Justinian's reign.

Mary Seacole sent herself to the Crimean War, believing that if she could be of any help, it would be worth any risk.
It's that time again! Time to sit down with the Extra History crew for a history-themed question extravaganza... or at least, a cheerful little fireside chat.

Who created the word serendipity? It was Walpole...'s son!
Special thanks to the Extra History viewer who tipped us off about this one!

In case you missed the Extra Credits announcement last week, our team is going on break for the holidays! Yes, we do sleep sometimes (except James).
We'll be coming back with a two part mini-series about Mary Seacole, and then diving right in to the conclusion of Justinian and Theodora's reign! We've got a lot of cool stuff on our plates for the new year, and we hope you'll really enjoy it.
See you on January 8!

Our Extra History artist, David Hueso, has launched a Patreon for his graphic novel! If you've enjoyed his art for the Admiral Yi series, for Justinian, World War I, or - yes - for the Original Walpole, then you may enjoy this as well!

It's a case worthy of John Snow: how did the Extra Credits Patreon drop from around $14,000 to just under $12,000 overnight? Where did all those numbers go? Many of you have noticed this numbers-drop appear and then disappear when you checked our page periodically, but now it's permanent everywhere.
Since its creation, Patreon has been a transparent platform that shares how much creators are making... but unfortunately, it has always been sharing the wrong number. When patr...

The video got corrupted, so this week's Lies episode will not be ready in time for early access. It WILL be ready for regular release on Saturday, after we've given it a second chance!
