Tyrants: Richard III - 2/19 on Nebula, 2/28 on YouTube
Victorian Horror Part 1 - 2/28 on Nebula, 3/7
Extra Context: Tyrants - 3/11 on both Nebula and YouTube (We need time to collect all your comments to talk about :)
Extra History: Complete Inca Empire - 3/7 on Nebula, 3/14 on YouTube

Happy Holidays, Extra Historians!
The Extra History Crew is heading into our holiday break for the next two weeks, but don’t worry! Like a bunch of jolly internet elves at the digital North Pole, we’ve been stockpiling episodes and Shorts for you to enjoy! Meaning, be on the lookout for videos to enjoy throughout the holidays.
On that note, as we roll into the festive season and grab some well-earned rest, we wanted to take a moment to say just how incredible this year has been. Thanks to you, we’ve tackled longer history episodes than ever before, experimented with new formats, and produced our second Extra History calendar! But it would have been possible without your support, and we hope you feel just as proud of the content we’ve created as we do.
From all of us here at Extra History, thank you for being part of this community, for backing our curious ideas, and for helping us make educational content. We wish you a joyful holiday season, a relaxing break, and a fantastic start to the new year.
See you in 2026!
Kat and the EC Crew 🎄✨
