Our theme for January/February surveys is ADVENTURE & ACHIEVEMENT. 

No special notes on this theme, just give us all of your cool historical adventurers and human achievements. And a reminder that the new date cut off is 1929!

Some notes about your suggestions:

  • Only one suggestion per person please! Multiple suggestions from the same person during any given survey period will be manually removed.
  • If a suggestion we encounter only has enough research material/production scope for a one-off episode instead of a full series, we file it in a separate list to reference later when we are planning to schedule a one-off episode between series (this is true for every survey we do). 
  • Anything that happened or started before 1929 is fair game to suggest. We typically don't cover more recent events, unless we're working with sponsors who can provide more documentation about that historical topic.
  • We have a ratio of 2 suggestion surveys to every 1 voting poll. So if/when we ever do a theme for the survey, that theme will appear twice in a row. The results of both surveys are collected and added together when we determine patron suggestions to include in the next voting poll.

The Balmis Expedition. The first of its kind, it was an expedition made to vacinate millions of people against viruela through all of the Spanish Empire. From the Caribbean, to the Phillipines. An unique voyage of entirely philanthropic nature.

Adventures and achievements. I suggested the Norwegian polar explorers such as Nansen and Amundsen. I visited the Fram museum in Oslo a few years ago and was blown away by their achievements.

I proposed Amundsen as well, it would make a great topic. Plus the failed Scott expedition would be a really interesting (yet depressing) episode
