We're re-opening the Extra Credits merchandise store and want to know what YOU would like to see most! We've got a few ideas on our short list, so take a look and let us know your preferences in this survey. Link: http://bit.ly/ECMerch Alas, there are no Extra History items on the list... but rest assured that's a matter of "yet," not "ever." :)
2015-04-15 22:50:45 +0000 UTC View PostIt's confirmed! We've got the whole team joining us this weekend and we hope you'll come by as well. This will be the first time we have both artists on stream together, so start thinking up some questions for David and Heather! Link: http://www.spreecast.com/events/april-q-a-sunday-1pm-pdt
2015-04-15 09:07:23 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone! I know you're waiting for the final word on the Q&A schedule that you voted on last week. We're checking a couple of things (we'd like to be able to have David join us this month!) but right now, the Q&A is tentatively scheduled for Sunday, April 19 at 1pm PDT. I'll post again when I have more information!

At last the South Sea Company gets too greedy: the public wakes up, and the bubble pops. Disastrously.

When we look for a new artist, the first thing we do is send them a small audio sample from an upcoming episode and ask them to draw it. Since folks on the Q&A stream were curious about this, and Heather gave us the okay, here's what Heather's version of the first South Sea Company episode looked like! Heather's comment about this? "I saw the topic - English financial history - and really thought they wanted to give me a hard test. I didn't realize it was an actual episode!" Reposting so you...

The members of Parliament see through John Blunt's deceptions with the South Sea Company... but that just means he has to get them on his side, right?

Nothing will stop the formation of the South Sea Company, not even a decades-long multinational war.

Been waiting for the South Sea Bubble series to debut this Saturday? Your wait is over! To make up for the fact that (two episodes ago) we posted an early access link that didn't WORK ( >:( ), we're giving you the debut for South Sea Bubble extra early. And hey, the link actually works this time. :)
2015-02-26 20:50:50 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone! Just wanted to let you know that we have not forgotten about the February "Vote on a Topic for Extra History" reward, though we are a bit behind on its schedule! The vote will go up next week. There will also be a /second/ vote in March, so you get it twice! If you're unable to support at the $5 tier next month (and thereby get access to your vote reward), please email me at soraya[at]extra-credits[dot]net. Once the voting link is live, I will send it to you personally. :)
