Announcement - "The Spartan Myth" Livestream Q&A [November 19th 2017]

Hey what's up guys it's Oakley and I'm here to make a quick PSA. This weekend I'll be hosting a live stream. It's going to be a question and answer session following up on the misunderstood moments in history the Spartan myth. The whole idea behind this is essentially to take the historian who helped work on the documentary and then take community feedback and questions and essentially allow us to answer those questions in a live stream. So that's essentially what this weekend is going to be. We're going to be addressing some of the questions people had about that episode and Dr. Roel Kanaan-Dyke is going to be joining us. He is a PhD historian so he is well versed in the particular field of study. He knows the latest academic findings and he'll be well placed to answer quick follow-up questions. The video will take place this weekend at 10 a.m pacific standard time so that's west coast of the U.S. That'll equate to 1 p.m east coast of the U.S. and that also equates to 6 p.m around London time. So adjust your clocks about that. A little bit of a disclaimer I have not run a live stream on my channel before so perhaps there'll be a couple technical difficulties. I am running a lot of testing behind the scenes. We should be good to go but do allow for a little bit of a grace period as I get things started. In any case I hope to see you there. So let's go over a little bit of the structure of the video itself. So as I said this is a follow-up to the Spartan video. If you haven't seen it definitely watch it. It is coming out to be a little bit more controversial and that's because what we did is we used more essentially cutting-edge history in the sense that the academic field actually on this field of study is a bit hot in the sense that people are revising a lot of previously held theories and even the books that I had like Paul Cartledge is supposed to be a really well-renowned Spartan historian and even some of his stuff is being overturned by one of his own students who he's worked with. So that's kind of the context for this. So we're going to be doing some follow-ups. So as I said we have Dr. Roelke Nijndijk who's going to be coming in to answer the questions. It'll be a runtime of about an hour and a half to two hours and essentially I have it structured to the point where essentially we're going to be going through the video that we put out but breaking it up into sections and then each section essentially we're going to break that section into two. So the first half is going to be me bringing up previously posted questions from the community, having a dialogue with myself and Dr. Roelke Nijndijk over those questions. So that's the first half and then the second half of each section is going to be opening the floor to live stream questions. So we're going to move through kind of in the structured format all the way down to the end. So this will be really cool. It'll be something that I hope to be kind of a pilot and then in the future we can do a follow-up for every documentary to follow up with more questions, things people might you know things that in the video might have got unanswered, things that perhaps we got wrong and want corrected, or additional questions that people want fielded. I think this will be a really cool opportunity to dive even deeper into the history. So I hope you guys will join me for this weekend again 10 a.m. PST on Sunday 1 p.m. Eastern Standard Time and 6 p.m. British Standard Time. So yeah that is going to be very cool. Hope to see you there and definitely leave your comments or questions about that video either in the Spartan video or here below and I'll make sure to scoop them up and bring them up in that video live stream. So yeah, see you in the next one. Peace out.
