Could you maybe do a video on the Berber people?? They have such a rich history that is never properly discussed!!

[@yourcasualservantofsauron9781]

They should hire you and your brother for some of kind of historical movie. Your unique style of artwork and storytelling is both refreshing and cinematic.

[@joetheperformer]

I’d for sure watch a *3 hour movie made by y’all in this style of medium.

[@Pink_Floyd-ll8lq]

The painting of the ship underwater with the sharks swimming around gave me chills for some reason. Amazing work as always gentlemen!

"They rob the poor under the cover of law, and we plunder the rich under the cover of our own courage". That is a charismatic quote right there, and I daresay the first part is still relevant.

[@msg5879]

The law is definitely there to keep the ruling class flush with money. Look at how under the law, money buys your way out of trouble. How is that *ANY DIFFERENT* than the way the "mob" operates?

Unfuckingbelievable the amount of polish this channel has. It would be unbelievable for a whole production staff, let alone two people. The original art, the writing, the narration, the information. Jaw-dropping.

[@Andy_Babb]

The original artwork is really amazing

[@loslobos786]

Sam Bellamy's description of how the Rich rob regular people with laws and the Pirates rob the rich with their own courage is an apt description of Humanity. That's probably why that one quote has echoed down through time and space to enlighten us even today. Great work guys keep it up 💪👍

[@Captain_Insano_nomercy]

Agreed, and it makes one want to take up the black flag themselves

[@nocturnal2900]

Easily my favorite history channel on KZbin and it’s not even close. The art, the production, your calm and informative demeanor, it all comes together to truly be something special and worthy of all the praise it gets. You love your work, and it shows. Thank you for turning your passion into creation.

As a fledgling story writer, I love how you guys write. I aspire to have the same texture and vibrancy in my own description of people and places as you do one day.

[@HistoryDose]

Thanks! I appreciate it! Always good to read a lot of writers you like and think about the specific aspects that stand out to you. I also like to pepper in words and phrases that help establish the ambience of any given time period. The language used in this one is quite different than, say, that of our Mafia episodes.

[@christhayer4805]

Going through a rough breakup right now, and for some reason your videos are the only thing that can take my mind off it. I’ve binged like 20 episodes. So I just wanted to say thank you ❤️

[@HistoryDose]

Wishing you all the best. If you work through the catalog, we’ve also got a few Q&A episodes found in the live tab. And if you look up Voices of the Past’s history of western piracy video (over 90 min I think) that script was written by yours truly

[@Ucho469]

When the real Whydah bell was shown and that beautiful last bit of pirate music did sound I felt shivers down my spine and a big grin was drawn on my face understanding that the souls of those who chase adventure and discovery like Bellamy never died, but reside within each of us too. ❤☠

[@HistoryDose]

Thanks! That bell is actually on display at the Whydah Pirate Museum in Cape Cod. Hoping to go there this summer!

[@Vistresian1941]

No other informative YT channel has me as eager to wait for new uploads as this one. I think other comments have probably already said it all (and better than I can), but the combination of the tone, the art style, and how the information is presented is perfect. If nothing else, I hope this channel continues producing content at the same level of quality for years to come- or that other opportunities swing around for bigger projects. I'd join the Patreon if I had the ability, but in the mean time- thank you.
