We Made A New Channel!
For years, we’ve been dreaming of a second channel. A channel where we could tell different kinds of stories and dive into something else we deeply care about: history. Because the story of the past is also the story of us, of humanity. Welcome to the nightshift. 🌚
Our first video dives into the extraordinary story of Zheng Yi Sao, a young woman who built the largest pirate confederation the world has ever seen. Her floating shadow state of 1,800 ships and 70,000 pirates pushed the Chinese Empire to its limits and reshaped trade in the South China Sea.

We’d love to hear what you think. 🖤

The links to the new channel open a browser on mobile instead of going to the page in the app. Loads slower. Sucks a lot. I just searched for the new channel instead. Sucked trying to remember how to spell the channel name since I can't copy paste it on mobile
