Youtube : Are You Ready For The Stuglife?

-

The Pitch:

Whether you’re an armchair general or a History graduate there’s something in MVH (Military History Visualized) for you. MVH creates informative and short videos, based around a single theme. These are usually, but not always on WWII. The episodes draw heavily from cited sources, and often demystify commonly held beliefs with cold, hard facts.


What you get:

This channel does all of the above and more. There’s a second channel Military History Not Visualized, which is more of a talking head style (because of logistics, a word you’ll hear quite often in these videos). Also, there’s a community of Military History you tubers, which although having 
their own unique channels fed into each other with collaborations and guest appearances.

Recommended Episodes:
Panzer Tactics - "Blitzkrieg" Years

Conclusion:

MHV or Military History Visualized is not only a fantastic channel for history buffs, but I think it’s a template for other people to learn from on how to build a YouTube channel. MVH is the Austrian who built a channel with German efficiency; in English. Hats off, that’s no mean feat.
From the beginning, the channel has improved, in both audio and visual and of course in content, without every really slowing down in output . Its expansion into Patreon and Merchandising which has in turn generated reinvestment, and therefore the improvement of quality, is one of the reasons I can wholeheartedly recommend this channel for now and into the future.

What is a Wonderwall?

The Scene: It’s 1995, the year in which we saw Richey James Edwards heartbreakingly surreal disappearance from the Manic Street Preachers, Tupac have   a No. 1 album whilst in prison, The Beetles and   Queen release “new” material and Bjork   telling everyone about the joys of being quiet. But did you know that the Oasis song “Wonderwall” hit No.1 and No.2 in the British charts at the same time? The original:                            Wonderwall by Oasis was the anthem of my youth, and there is no way in hell that overplay could scratch its raw honesty and ubiquity. My mate Keith played and sang a great version of it, we sang it on the way to parties, we sang it at parties, on the bus on the way home from parties, at our school graduation, at weddings, we chanted along with it, at the pub. It came on the radio like the unexpected visit of a good friend. From it’s simple opening guitar chords to, the Beetle’s influenced   orchestration of   melancholic   cello’s, t

You Tuber Review: Beau of the fifth column

You Tuber Review: Beau of the fifth column The Pitch: It is the philosophical duty of everyone to put some skepticism in the path of our opinions and the opinions of others. That, I’m happy to acknowledge, was what “Beau” of the fifth column did to me, the first time I opened one of his videos. With a beard that would provoke envy in any hipster, a southern drawl, and pro-gun t-shirt, my prejudices were in top gear. I should just note, I’m European, so my mind was maybe even narrower going into it, than an American viewer. So, when I heard a balanced, well researched argument with a dose of our grandparent’s common sense; delivered in a tool shed, as a talking head program. I was happier than a hog in whatever that expression is. Sound and quality: The format is simple, so it doesn’t have to be too fancy. I personally prefer my editorials without the flashing green screen, especially those who use slickness to cover half-baked ideas. You tubers take note. The sound
