Ooooooooh boy this was a tough one. I'm really glad I made it, and I think it turned out well, but man am I taking a good nap after this one.

I know we say it a lot in many different contexts: at the ends of videos, on streams, on the podcast, but it's difficult to articulate just how incredible it is that a community of almost 2,500 people enjoy what we do so muc...

It's a brand new show! (That's the second one this month!)
Basically, imagine an inverse Trope Talk where the whole episode is just about one media example. That's this!
Today: we begin with the pilot of Samurai Jack, and examine why it kicks so much ass.
This is an experiment, and as always we welcome your feedback! Let us kno...

As mentioned in the last Patron Spring seasonal update, we've got a new series! "City Minute" is all about awesome cities from all around the world and across history, delivered in 1-minute vertical installments.
Ah, when "Vertical Video" used to be a crime on par with bank robbery, how times change.
Today we've got this int...

I apologize that this update is a week delayed. Without getting into any details, Red and I have independently had to manage matters unrelated to OSP that have taken up a solid share of our focus and time in the past month. Once we roll into April, we're hoping to get back to normal and conti...

Hi friends, with the coming of Spring it's time for another seasonal update for you all on patreon, but various extenuating factors are superceding channel-work at the moment, so in the interest of giving you all a proper update – we've got to delay it a week so that we can take the time to write a good one.
Next week we'll let you know...
yeeeeeeeeee these remastered videos are so much fun to make (even though making a ~30 minute video is exponentially more complicated than making a ~10 minute one, ahhh well, it's rome, I'm willing to bend my rules a little.

Two videos behind schedule, it's time to talk about Sappho!
Sappho is essentially impossible to talk about in a vacuum, partially because there's so little about her and so little from her, so this ended up being a much wider discussion of the world around Sappho and why we have her work in the state that we do.
Definitely not a typical...
The cool thing about this thumbnail is, even if you have no idea who the character is, you totally get what archetype he represents.

You voted for it and here it is! The history of South Africa for Black History Month. I sincerely hope you all enjoy it.
Next up, Women's History Month! Stay tuned for Sappho.

What an absolute mess this video was, but it ended up being pretty hilarious so I can still consider that some variety of a win.
Enjoy.

Think of it like a Miscellaneous Myth, but slightly better-sourced.
(Patron listing at the end of the video was compiled in mid-December when the video was finalized and scheduled - don't be alarmed if it seems off! Future videos will be more up-to-date!)

Please take this time to peruse the sidebar and select the tier you'd like to be a part of. Patrons who were at 1, 5, an...
