if I'm understanding this, extra sci-fi will not have a separate pledge tier, so will backers of either extra credits main or extra history (I am now backing both), get the one-day early access of the show?

Bill Lemmond

Thank you for this. Mary Shelley isn't mentioned nearly as much as the title Frankenstein, and for decades, I was barewly aware of her. it is good to see her getting credit she deserves. :)

Is there a way to get emails when a new Extra Scifi video is published? I want Extra History & Extra Scifi without Extra Credits...

Martin Verran

I dare say Mr Spock would probably detect you on Scanners long Beforehand. ;-)

Blake

Thanks for the reply dudes/ladies! :D In that case, my feedback is that I'll enjoy this where it goes into literature more than into movies/TV. Exception: anything related to Deus Ex.

Extra History

Long long ago, this idea actually did start as Extra Literature, but it was rather daunting to start with the entire history of literature so we decided to narrow it down. Being huge sci fi nerds, we decided this was the best way to go about it!

Extra History

As a Trekkie myself, I hope so. ;) It's definitely in our sights!

Extra History

As Martin said, welcome to our little community! We're excited to have you here, and hope you enjoy hanging out with us here on Patreon. Very glad that you're excited about Extra Sci Fi - we are too!

Digging it! I never had good education in history, but the way in which you guys do EH has made me really enjoy learning about history. I was nervous when you guys announced sci-fi, but after finding that the show (at least the first few eps) will dig into literature in much the same way, I got excited. Come to think of it, maybe I just want Extra Literature. Still - sci-fi is an area I've never understood and I'm excited to gain some fluency.

Willkommen, Herr, in unserer Gemeinschaft. Translation: Welcome, Sir, to our Community.

This looks Right up my Street...I wonder if Star Trek and its influence on the genre will be discussed in the Future in this Series?

Long-time Extra Credits/History fan, first time Patreon supporter! Always looking forward to whatever you guys make next! A new show?! You guys spoil us!

Certainly, some books such as the Shanara Chronicles are both.

Extra History

There is often some overlap in readership, but yeah, if I'm looking for a fantasy novel, I am looking for a different kind of thing than what I want when I go for a sciene fiction novel.

Extra History

We haven't planned for enough ahead to say for sure if we will or not, but I would at least say that it's within the bounds of topics we consider fair game for this series!

Zatarra Manetti

Who else gets irritated when you see genres set up as, "Science Fiction and Fantasy" instead of listing the two separately?

Aureelian

Really loved that there was an emergency towel right next to the Sci-Fi door. Will you maybe one day do a series on Hitchhikers Guide through the Galaxy?

Extra History

We think so! We've made some substantial changes to our production process to streamline things and get more secure schedules for our staff, which means everyone's workload is more defined and we can all plan our time around it. It's been part of a big but necessary (and, we think, helpful!) change for our team from the inside of things.

Extra History

We'd rather not, in part because I don't like the idea of dipping twice into people's wallets and in part because I don't think Patreon does a good job of supporting multiple-content creators. If it's necessary to keep the show going after our current funding runs out, I would do it, but certainly not in the near future!
