Hello patrons! (Patreon)

It's been a while since I checked in on you guys. I just wanted to say a huge thanksssss to all of you again for the 4 millionth time. I also wanted to mention something that has been on my mind lately, so if you'd be good enough to indulge me (again!) then read on... I'm aware that 1956 hasn't been as well received as I'd hoped. We've been shedding patrons this month, and this day in particular for some reason. In the grand scheme of things, this is normal, but it reminded me that I perhaps should be engaging with you guys a bit more than I have. Unfortunately, while the most straightforward tactic would be to start into the Age of Bismarck series, which might get more people interested, it's not that simple. We've got everything lined up, and even Cambridge has been factored into the production schedule. It does seem that 1956 isn't drawing people in as much as I had hoped, but the great thing about it is that part 2, the Suez Crisis, will be starting in September. Hopefully this more familiar event will bring people back. I honestly would like to hear from you guys. If you're listening to 1956, and you are enjoying it, it would mean the world to me if you would somehow spread the word. I think if people only knew that it was an enjoyable series, they'd be more likely to stick around or to pledge themselves. Finally, I really want to emphasise how grateful I am for your guy's support. Right now I'm working on writing the Thirty Years War, so all cold war stuff seems weirdly removed from my brain, but I can't wait to share it with you next year. Otherwise, I'd love to hear from you, since you are my patron and you are very important to me! Thanksssss history friends and patrons, and I'll be seeing you all, soon 😊
