What happens when you ask two talented musicians to combine "detective story" with "medical drama" and give it a Victorian England sort of feel?
This bit of brilliance, that's what.
2015-11-11 00:14:56 +0000 UTC View PostThe votes are in, and turns out that a lot you want to know the story of the Early Christian Heresies! This series will air after the Ottoman Empire (Suleiman) series, in April 2016.

We're very happy to introduce you to a new Extra History artist, Lil! Lil will be joining Heather and David (that's right - three artists) starting with the next series, Broad Street Pump. Hence the Victorian get-up she's wearing right here... and by the way, enjoy the early peek at James and Dan's costumes, too. ;)
In fact, you may know Lil already if you've been paying close attention! She did her trial run with the Extra Credits episode on World War II games - and after that, we...

So what's next for Extra History now that Admiral Yi's story is done? Well, since we're on six week animation schedule, and we're only five weeks into it, we've thrown in a bonus episode for you folks on a little-known Palmyran king named Odenathus.
After that, James will discuss the Lies from the Admiral Yi series, and then we're on to our next feature: John Snow and the Broad Street Pump!
2015-10-24 19:31:37 +0000 UTC View PostThose of you who took part in our mini-poll earlier this week may want to know that after your votes (and an extremely close race), Suleiman the Magnificent edged out the Fall of Constantinople and will be the subject of our upcoming Extra History series in 2016!
If you were really hoping for one of the other two options, have no fear. We still think they'd be great topics to cover and would love to come back to them at a later date!

At last Yi has the upper hand against the Japanese. After all they've done, he will not let them flee.
2015-10-23 10:12:15 +0000 UTC View PostLast month, the Ottoman Empire won the poll and joined our list of topics to be covered on Extra History. But there's a lot of possibilities within the Ottoman Empire's long history! We've narrowed it down to three options, and then we decided - let's reach out to our patrons and let them decide which one they want to see the most!

Disaster rips apart the Korean fleet. But as long as he has ANY ships, Yi will defend Korea.

Almost all of Korea has fallen to the Japanese army, but Admiral Yi has a secret weapon: turtle ships.

2015-09-26 18:07:10 +0000 UTC View PostThe results of the latest poll are in, and the Ottoman Empire won! We saw a tight three-way race between the other candidates for second place, but it does seem fitting that the second part of our Justinian and Theodora series will be followed up by the next empire to rule Constantinople.
Many thanks to the patron who sent this suggestion in, and who will be featured on the sponsors list when this series comes out in January or February of 2016!
