Voices of the Past

We hit 1 million!

A huge thank you to everyone who has subscribed over the years!

A huge thank you to my brother Pete Kelly ‪@HistoryTime‬ who came up with the idea and got things started all those years ago, a huge thank you to Ettore Mazza - the legend behind the fantastic thumbnails, and a huge thank you to Manuel Rubio ‪@ArtandContext‬ who has created some of the most visually dazzling videos of the last 2 and a half years.

Here´s to another million!

Another shout out - I have been working with another channel based on self improvement and mental well-being: ‪@InstantCalmer101‬ - it has been relaunched this year with a new format. Short, pragmatic guided meditations and breathwork exercises to help with reducing stress and anxiety, building confidence and tools for helping you to achieve your goals in 2024. Updated regularly, be sure to check it out. Thanks!

Head over to ‪@ArtandContext‬ for another fascinating story behind an artwork - the truly bizarre tale of Eadweard Muybridge, the man who stopped time.

Voices of the Past

A shout out to the best documentary on the channel, tragically age restricted in its prime so perhaps you haven´t seen it. It is on the homepage - find yourself a free evening and dive in. It is so good, and written by ‪@HistoryDose‬
