@SNAFUDOCS has not made one single video that I haven’t loved. Check out the newest video that he did alongside my buddy Florent Plana on the DD tanks that successfully landed on Omaha Beach.

On this day in 1906, Teddy Roosevelt (the coolest president in U.S. history, by the way) signed the Antiquities Act into law. This law gave presidents the authority to create national monuments from federal lands to protect significant natural, historic, or scientific features. The very first national monument formed from this was Devil’s Tower.
You can see our visit to Devil’s Tower here: https://youtu.be/oi735BiKHqM?si=l2Ai9...

If you missed it yesterday, we dropped a new episode of American Artifact that featured a visit that Dale Dye paid to The Gettysburg Museum Of History. That same weekend, Dale also sat down with Matt Callery on the Addressing Gettysburg - Podcast for a deep dive interview that covered a range of topics from Dale's service in Vietnam to his work in the film industry. It's a fascinating interview that I think you'll like. You can see it on the Addressing Gettysburg YouTube channel (linked below) or listen wherever you consume your podcasts.

Oftentimes, you all will see me sharing content from history podcasters and other YouTube creators. Although some have suggested that I'm "helping the competition", I don't see it that way. I share stuff that I like because first and foremost, I'm a fan of history and want others to learn along with me.
So if you have some creators that you follow, here are a few things that you can do to help them out:
1.) Subscribe & hit the notification bell. When a video sees an initial surge in views, it's more likely to get boosted by YouTube.
2.) Like & comment. Engagement is another metric that feeds into the YouTube algorithm. It's a small thing that goes a long way.
3.) Share, share, share. YouTube isn't always the best at surfacing content so grassroots sharing on social media or by word of mouth goes a long way. Especially for up and coming creators.
4. Watch time. This might be one of the most important metrics that YouTube analyzes. When viewers stick with a video and watch it all the way through, that indicates to YouTube that the video is worth watching and others might want to see it as well.
So what channels or podcasts are you consuming right now? Let us know in the comments.
