My Life As A Historian: Documentaries At Your Fingertips

I've been binging Indy Neidell's Great War and World War II channels over the last few weeks. I had nothing else to do while in the hospital, and while he follows the official narrative across the board his presentation is on point and proves that neo-patronage can compete with Big Corporate productions. The recent Pearl Harbor special proves that.

Other channels do the same thing--high quality original productions on a crowdfunded budget--or make available otherwise inaccessable older works (e.g. the excellent Battlefield series from decades ago).

In addition to having plenty of good non-fiction at hand, some are better at citing their sources than others. (Indy's very good at this.) Take notes, jot down the names of the works cited and their authors--you have a Pause button, so use it--and look up those works so you can follow up on what is said.

Next thing you know, you'll be teaching yourself How To Do History without all the Death Cult pozzing corrupting your results.
