Welcome to the first Defragged History’s Newsletter!
You can’t rely on YouTube anymore to tell you when a new video has been uploaded, even if you are subscribed and YES, even if you clicked on notifications!! This newsletter hopes to remedy this problem for most of you. Every last Friday of the month, you will receive a newsletter to keep you updated on all the goings-on with Defragged History.
A free Substack subscription gets you the newsletter, access to chat, and an occasional post.
A paid Substack subscription is coming soon and will help me keep the channel going. As a thank you, you will also get access to a bi-weekly podcast from yours truly with updates, facts, and tidbits about what I’m working on, background information on the latest video release, and answers to your questions, plus additional content.
I’ve also added Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/defraggedhc
You can still support the channel by buying Super Thanks on YouTube, or donate via Paypal: https://defraggedhistory.com/support/
Updates
I’ve been updating all the video titles and have SEO optimized the video descriptions.
I’ve created a special playlist which features all Eighty Years’ War related videos, the series, the trailers, the bloopers and the “Slag om Grolle” presentation in order of release.
Today I added “The Ten Lasting Effects of the Eighty Years’ War” to this list, counting down ten things that started during the Eighty Years’ War and are still relevant today. There are more, of course, and if this video is successful, I may make another one.
Schedule for upcoming videos
- On March 6, 2025, I hope to upload the first episode of “New Amsterdam.” After writing the script for the special promo “The Pirates of New Amsterdam,” I felt it spoilt too much of the story, so it will be a bonus after the series is completed.
- The series about shipwrecked British Man-of-War “The Wager” will launch in August, 2025.
- A Halloween Horror special about “Sawney Bean” will arrive at the end of October, 2025.
Podcasts
- I’m nearly done uploading the “Dillinger” series to Spotify, Apple Podcast, and Pocket Cast. The first 11 are already available, the last one will be available this Sunday.
- I’ve also made the entire “Dillinger” and the “Eighty Years’ War” series available as podcasts on YouTube Music.
- I’m done re-recording the new and improved “The Batavia” series. The first episode (audio only) will arrive on Spotify/Apple podcasts on February 16, 2025, and an episode weekly after that.
- The Eighty Years’ War series will start uploading on March 16, 2025, with the first three episodes, and an episode weekly after that.
If there’s another podcast app you use, let me know, and I’ll see if I can add episodes to that.
That’s all from me!
Take care and have a great day!
