The Big Reveal: Exciting News Incoming!

[@nurmihusa7780]

I think the charm of your work is you come from a generalist mindset. You know you don’t have to be an expert in each of the details - you just have to be committed enough to find the right person to tell you what you need to know. Sometimes very experts can be horrifically boring. Because they’ve gone down the rabbit hole so deep that it doesn’t communicate to a general audience. Your content is interesting fundamentally because you’re interesting people who are interested in it. And that passion leads you to do a good job of it. It’s infectious in the right way. :)

[@matthewhewitson80]

Great news about the studio - hope it all works out really well for you guys. Its great to see this type of business pop up as it has real potential and could help others get started in their YT or podcast careers. Like you guys my interest in learning and history has grown as i have got older, We really do send people to university at the wrong age!

[@cerealport2726]

Merry Christmas Rebecca and Paul, thanks for all the great videos in 2024!

[@DavidGarside]

This is brilliant! I wish you both the very best with the new studio, and I look forward to your new videos. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

[@davidberlanny3308]

Wow, I wasn't expecting this!! Best of luck with the new venture. I hope there's enough wall space for the Peutinger map!! Lovely to see Rebecca on camera again, I know she's been working hard behind the scenes. Some great questions on the Q and A. Have a wonderful Christmas, all the best!!

Living in Mittelsachsen, Germany these days, there is so much history here, the traditions especially Christmas and the Ore Mountain is just fascinating. Like in UK, there are so many abandoned railways. Food for thought, maybe. Happy Christmas.

Happy Winter Solstice-adjacent Holidays to all! My dream Whitewick investigation series would be the Adena/Hopewell mound-building cultures in America that were part of a continental trade network 2,000 years ago. Impressive earthworks and artifacts, and speculations of giants. Plenty of forest for Paul to tramp through.

[@GraemeCampbellMusic]

When you come up to Scotland, I can recommend places like Cairnpapple Hill near Bathgate which has been a sacred burial site for around 4000 years. There are loads of Pictish hill forts and Roman stuff too

[@pwhitewick]

I REEALLY need another trip north of the wall

[@lakelady57]

Merry Christmas guys, love your work and enthusiasm. Keep doing what you do and looking forward to next year's contact. The new premises look really promising so I hope it works for you. Have a happy season and Rebecca love your dress or extended sweater :D xxx

That zigzag path.. as it’s currently the solstice, to think our ancient ancestors would of walked from all over Albion(UK) to be part of the celebrations & get togethers through forests, rough ground, ancient tracks & general knowledge of where these stones circles, ancient tracks, henges & burial mounds were, is something to ponder over.

Best wishes for Christmas and the New Year to you and your family

[@davidrowley-ic6dx]

I will take this opportunity to extend my Season’s Greetings to you and to wish you every success in the expansion of your enterprise. It’s a big thing to take on the responsibility and overheads of premises .. so you have my admiration and support in your venture. I too wondered how you managed to juggle life around your channel. I am very aware of the time commitment needed to research a topic, gather the necessary content material and then massage it into an engaging piece of video … work which I consider you to accomplish with great panache. At no time have I ever regretted watching your content. I am consistently drawn to your channel due to the areas you cover … I am originally from NE Hampshire and in my teens and early twenties I explored much of the area you cover throughout Hampshire and I used to cycle out to Silchester and explore around the brambles there (I do not recall it being at all well maintained back in the 70s). I subsequently went to college near Uffington and then explored that region of “The Chalk”, discovering the various magical barrow sites. I have since made my home in Somerset and taken advantage of what Somerset and Dorset have to offer … with the benefit of both north and south coasts to hand. As a result, whenever you cover a place I do NOT know, you send me into a world of maps and Google to identify the location and dig for my own greed for more information. Like yourselves, my interest in things historical has evolved with age and I am proud of actually achieving an H grade for my history O Level … I was that disinterested. However, I did always have a fascination with things Roman … and my interest has grown from that. These days, I am increasingly fascinated by the development of human kind into meaningful societies and cultures as exemplified in pre-history by what is now being understood based on research into the various henges and … particularly .. in Orkney … a place I would dearly love to visit (but it’s such a long way away from Somerset ☹️ … but I still live in hope. Keep up the good work !!

[@daverothwell4579]

Brilliant stuff you two! Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and here’s to great success in the new year with the new studio!! Cheers from Ottawa, Canada!

Thank you for entertaining and educating us over the past twelve months. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you both. BTW, if it’s not been painted over, I recall that the Chiropractic Clinic has a historic design on its ceiling.

Congrats on your new venture and Happy Christmas! Had fun trying to find it on Maps using just the first 10 seconds of video! Was actually pretty easy.

[@ericlburch]

I did visit the web site, and I see this little jewel in the FAQ: "No smoking or vaping allowed within the building. And if you do smoke outside the premises please dispose of your cigarettes in the correct manor." Is it the correct last word? With your history, I could see going either way; which noble will be inconvenienced? Happy Christmas from the USA state named after Queen Henrietta Maria, consort to Charles I.

[@pwhitewick]

Good luck with the new studio venture! Didn't even realise you'd been to the Big Water of Fleet viaduct! Lovely area, not so good for people catching trains.... Still isn't! You're welcome back up this way any time, plenty of mysteries left to solve, I've been trying to trace the roman routes in the area but very little remains. To the point where I often wonder... were some railways built on top of Roman agger? Raised dry land, already compacted..... Something for you to ponder perhaps.

[@pwhitewick]

Thanks! 😃..... sounds good to us!

[@746laurie]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Paul and Rebecca. As someone who has always been interested in history I've enjoyed your KZbin content especially anything railway or canal related. My grandfather was a Station Master at a couple of stations on the Didcot, Newbury and Southampton line from 1916 until he retired in 1942 so your videos on that line were particularly interesting for me. From 1972 to 2010 I lived in Wantage and became involved with the Wilts and Berks canal restoration group so your videos on that canal were also of great interest to me. Keep up the good work!

Hills and Mountains….. Walbury Hill in my native West Berkshire is the highest point in South East England at 974ft. Tan Hill/Milk Hill in Wiltshire are just a few meters lower. Both points are in the North Wessex Downs AONB. Great walking country!

Almost mountains then!?

[@pauljacks3014]

@@pwhitewick Thanks for your informative videos

[@WillKemp]

The acoustics in that podcast room sound really good as it is. You might want to consider not completely covering walls and ceiling with sound deadening. A few scattered patches might make it perfect. Maybe movable screen type things, so you can adjust the acoustics as you want them. A completely dead room can be useful for some things, but it doesn't create the overall best sound
