Hey folks! Yesterday we launched our brand new show, Extra Sci Fi, with a foray into Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. We won't always be posting ESF episodes here (this Patreon is mainly for EH updates!) but we figured that sharing a new show's first episode would be fun! Hope you enjoy it.

Frankenstein: The Modern Prometheus - Extra Sci Fi - #1

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein launched the entire genre of science fiction. What made it unique? What did Shelley create, and how did her view of the possibilities of science shape the way we imagine our world even today?

if I'm understanding this, extra sci-fi will not have a separate pledge tier, so will backers of either extra credits main or extra history (I am now backing both), get the one-day early access of the show?

Same channel new show?

Cifer

Ugh, now you've done it... seems like I'll have to upgrade my patreon donation...

Inusan

This new line going to get its own Patreon?

Antonio

Can you keep 3 shows a week without getting insane in the prossess? Good luck, guys, I will always be you fan.

We'd rather not, in part because I don't like the idea of dipping twice into people's wallets and in part because I don't think Patreon does a good job of supporting multiple-content creators. If it's necessary to keep the show going after our current funding runs out, I would do it, but certainly not in the near future!

We think so! We've made some substantial changes to our production process to streamline things and get more secure schedules for our staff, which means everyone's workload is more defined and we can all plan our time around it. It's been part of a big but necessary (and, we think, helpful!) change for our team from the inside of things.

Really loved that there was an emergency towel right next to the Sci-Fi door. Will you maybe one day do a series on Hitchhikers Guide through the Galaxy?

Zatarra Manetti

Who else gets irritated when you see genres set up as, "Science Fiction and Fantasy" instead of listing the two separately?

We haven't planned for enough ahead to say for sure if we will or not, but I would at least say that it's within the bounds of topics we consider fair game for this series!

There is often some overlap in readership, but yeah, if I'm looking for a fantasy novel, I am looking for a different kind of thing than what I want when I go for a sciene fiction novel.

Long-time Extra Credits/History fan, first time Patreon supporter! Always looking forward to whatever you guys make next! A new show?! You guys spoil us!

Martin Verran

This looks Right up my Street...I wonder if Star Trek and its influence on the genre will be discussed in the Future in this Series?

Willkommen, Herr, in unserer Gemeinschaft. Translation: Welcome, Sir, to our Community.

Digging it! I never had good education in history, but the way in which you guys do EH has made me really enjoy learning about history. I was nervous when you guys announced sci-fi, but after finding that the show (at least the first few eps) will dig into literature in much the same way, I got excited. Come to think of it, maybe I just want Extra Literature. Still - sci-fi is an area I've never understood and I'm excited to gain some fluency.

As Martin said, welcome to our little community! We're excited to have you here, and hope you enjoy hanging out with us here on Patreon. Very glad that you're excited about Extra Sci Fi - we are too!

Long long ago, this idea actually did start as Extra Literature, but it was rather daunting to start with the entire history of literature so we decided to narrow it down. Being huge sci fi nerds, we decided this was the best way to go about it!

Thanks for the reply dudes/ladies! :D In that case, my feedback is that I'll enjoy this where it goes into literature more than into movies/TV. Exception: anything related to Deus Ex.

I dare say Mr Spock would probably detect you on Scanners long Beforehand. ;-)

Is there a way to get emails when a new Extra Scifi video is published? I want Extra History & Extra Scifi without Extra Credits...

Bill Lemmond

Thank you for this. Mary Shelley isn't mentioned nearly as much as the title Frankenstein, and for decades, I was barewly aware of her. it is good to see her getting credit she deserves. :)
