No problem, all it means is that I now have a new topic for when suggestion time comes. Time for Libertadores part 2.

I'm afraid that when it's a history you're super familiar with, Extra History is always going to seem like it's missing a lot of details. That's because the show is intended to be an introduction or overview; this particular set goes the full 6 episodes and we put in as much as we could, but you would need a lot longer for the full history. If you remember when we teamed up with Mike Duncan (History of Rome/Revolutions podcast) at the end of the Gracchi Brothers series, you might enjoy his podcast where he DOES go into much more detail and will probably talk more about the other Libertadores! That said, Santander actually does get a short cameo at the start of this, but it was one of the art errors (see my post just above this) that we needed to fix. It is also one of the moments when he is opposing Bolívar and being as this series is Bolívar's perspective, I won't claim he comes off *well* in this particular cameo. Nevertheless, he is now in the new version!

The wrong (unproofed) version of the file got into the production pipeline and stamped final. We're still scrambling together the fix, which it actually looks like we may have ready soon. Meanwhile, my power got knocked out so I'm racing the clock on my dwindling laptop battery and siphoning data from my very limited phone plan. This is gonna be one of those stories that is pretty funny... in the future, when I look back on it. :P

Wow that skipped a lot, I though there will be at least some mentioning of the other Libertadores that helped, like Francisco de Paula Santander, and Jose Antonio Paez.

What is going on with that map?!

Most people didn't have that kind of drive back then, either.

More often than not, diversity will overcome homogeneity.

I fear we're gonna experience this firsthand in the coming years...

Funny story about Gregor Mac Gregor, he was the greatest con men of his day, and one of the greatest of all time. His con? Sell interest and travel to a completely made up country called Poyais, including a fake government and uniforms for an army. He'd sell travel and positions to rubes and take them to Central America, where he abandoned them to certain death. Chutzpah level at maximum.
