yea, including the sources would be good.

Could you please cite your sources down in description in future episodes. It would be great to learn more. Plus, it fights accusations of plagiarism. Edit: Also, make sure your sources are credible and reliable. A lot of people think you are hacks. By doing both of those things. It will help you appease the haters, and make you much more respected by actual historians.

They say that the only reason the Pyramids are in Egypt is because they were too heavy to bring to the British museum. Corollary: The only reason the Colosseum is in Rome is because it was too heavy for Napoleon to bring to The Louvre. Gotta hand it to the Romans, though; they managed to cart off a bunch of enormous obelisks from Egypt to Rome that are still in Rome because they could carry heavier loads before the words "Britain" and "France" had even been coined.
