Our amazing History Hit Fans! This month we will be experimenting with uploading two as opposed to three videos a week. The idea behind this is to give our already incredibly hard-working staff more time to produce and edit videos of the highest quality possible. We want to avoid rushing our videos and we believe our audience will appreciate more quality over quantity.
In the meantime, we have loads of exciting videos in the pipeline that you can look forward to including historian reactions to AI imagery, medieval weapons testing and more vox pops with the general public!
