Hobo Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 Some of you may remember, for a few years, I did the Internet video thing. Initially "reviewing" historical films, it sort of evovled into a general history channel that also had a weirdly popular multi-part video on TS Eliot's The Waste Land. I was sort of in the outer circles of what was once Channel Awesome. I once appeared in a video with Dan Olson (FoldingIdeas) by Leon Thomas (RenegadeCut) many years before the words "LeftTube" were ever invented. If those words mean anything to anyone! Over the last few months I've been getting back into the writing of scripts and have a video almost ready to drop within the next week probably. The first one will be, as is tradtion with my videos, on Irish history. The return video will be drawing parallels between contemporary Irish politics and the early 1930s. If you're interested in checking out some of the older stuff, here's some examples of my videos. 3 are some of my most popular one is just the last one I did which I think is one of my best. The "Irish Slaves" Meme The Lieutanant Nun TS Eliot's The Waste Land Explained (Part 1) The 8th Ammendment: How Ireland Banned Abortion https://www.youtube.com/c/TheUnemployedHistorian/ I'm wary that since the channel's been inactive for a while YouTube will not be kind to the new one when it comes out. I hope some of you who were fans of the old videos will check out the new stuff once it starts coming out, and, of course, new viewers are very welcome. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobo Posted December 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 The return video should (hopefully) be up sometime over this weekend! I'm currently on my 8th attempt at exporting it. Myself and Adobe Premiere are having a bit of a fight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobo Posted December 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 Ok, so the video did go up last night however, there's some mad audio sync issues in the YouTube version so it's not public yet ... The age old curse of giving a delivery date for a YouTube video strikes again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Started to watch it, but it was 1:30am and involves a lot of politics I don't understand, being an American. I'll give it another shot another night if I get off work earlier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobfoc Posted December 8, 2020 Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 That's a video I want to see now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobo Posted December 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 Video got signal boosted my old pal Leon Thomas (the host of RenegadeCut). He's got 15K followers. Then Diamanda Hagan, another former Channel Awesome person, who has about 8K followers also shared it. So that helped up the views. Also the subs on the channel have gone up to 730. I've no idea what it was before Monday. I think it was high 600s. Unlike last time I released a video, I've got a few scripts in the works at the moment. All at various levels of completion. My browser has folders for 6 different videos. 4 of which I have started writing in some way shape or form. It just got shared into an Irish history reddit by my reddit using best friend so lets see how that goes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobo Posted December 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 1 week since the first video in 2 years was uploaded. 96+ followers and the video has nearly as many views as the previous video got in 2 years. I have started work on what should be next one over the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
