    The return of the iconic clown horn has taken me out of a deep depressive spiral.
    In all seriousness your UA-cam and website videos are great, and it was cool getting to see your process in making them. Your work ethic has to be insane to be a teacher and also consistently put out videos of this level of detail.

    The lawyer turned historian was unexpected but makes sense. So much of being a lawyer is research and reading. Enjoyed this video and all the long format ones you’ve done. Thanks for sharing our human history with us.

      Watching pro se litigants in zoom hearings really demonstrates that, even if the facts and law are on your side, having someone who can write out and present your arguments in a coherent manner can make all the difference.

    I discovered you about a year ago when I was looking for a video about the Iran-Contra scandal as it was an event that really interested me. It was honestly the best video I’ve seen that really covered it well. I’ve been following you since and always look forward to all the videos you made.

    I absolutely ADORED this video. I'm a recent but diehard Sean Munger fan, I'm a graphic designer, so its lots of alone time, on my computer, nitpicking little things, and you are the perfect company for that. It's even better to see the behind the scenes things, the silly little tedious things like your teleprompter make me feel seen with my silly little things too, and I LOVED seeing what you see while you film, your messy desk and all the little bits on it... Thanks for the peek behind the curtain. Excited for the Pan Am video!!!

    This is a video perspective that most people almost never see, when I tell people my videos take hours to edit, they don’t believe me. But it’s true, something you might just glance at in a video most likely took a while to make possible. Thank you for making this video, and keep up the high quality content!

    I was working as a trainer when COVID hit. When we were transitioning to distance learning I volunteered to make a couple videos students could watch in their own time before we put them in a class. I thought it would be a quick fun project. But it was sooooo much work. I really didn't even do the research since it was the same material we were already presenting. But everything else takes more work than you can really appreciate if you haven't done it. So, so many flubbed takes.

    I stepped in the poop, and wear my shoes proudly ever since! The urban poop video popped in my suggestions when i came out and i have since watched every long deep dive video. Living in The Netherlands some of these old presidents don't mean to much to me but the fact that you made the video and especially all the historical context make me watch every time! Watergate was the most insightful for me since it demystified all those wacky theories i've always heard. Looking forward to the Pan Am video! I live next to Schiphol airport and my neighbors are all pilots, so planes are a big part of life here. Thanks for the insight, i laughed out loud many times seeing the struggle. All the best and cheers from Holland!

    Hey Sean! Would you maybe be able to do a deep-dive into the book “A History of Central Banking and the Enslavement of Mankind”? It’s a rather short book but truly immense. It’s a deep dive into history, and covers so many important events in history. To see you break that book down would be incredible, whether you break it down in a positive way or negative way. Since you are a historian, it would be great to see you dig into that book. You can also find the full audio-book here on UA-cam if you would prefer that. It’s way too important of a book and way too important history to remain in the darkness.

    Have you considered the possibility of creating a video addressing the post-World War II history of Japan, with a particular emphasis on the implications of the US-Japan treaty and the televised assassination of Inejiro Asanuma on October 12, 1960? This subject matter presents a significant opportunity for insightful and thought-provoking content.
