Hi all! So normally we have our monthly suggestion box for our $10+ patrons, but we were talking about doing something a little bit different this year. We've heard a lot of requests for topics that lost out on their votes the first time around, sometimes by very very small margins. 

So we're bringing them back for the next series. 

Instead of having a google survey where you submit different suggestions, we're putting up a vote featuring the 2nd and 3rd runner ups from each vote this year. You all will have the option to vote for whatever topics you think deserve a second go and the top four choices will go for the $5 series vote 

This is a bit of an experiment so also feel free to let us know what you think! We aren't going to be doing this regularly, but we thought it might be fun as a sort of end of the year second chance kind of thing to do going forward!

So without further ado, the choices!

Wasn’t the Red Baron a second place topic back in April or May?

Red Baron actually tied with Cleopatra so we're already doing that as a one or two episode series to himself. :)

I keep forgetting to check announcements, so I always forget to suggest anything. This "second chance" vote is at least novel.
