Actually the African country episodes are my favourites since we sadly never really covered Africa in Geography class back in school, it was mostly Europe, North America and Asia. Through Geography studies at University I have a pretty good handle on South America. I'm a teacher by the way and really appreciate these videos. =D

I really enjoy the 'obscure African country' videos. They are the ones where 100% of the information is new to me.

Who would skip the smaller countries we know nothing of? That is what this show is all about!

Actually, African countries are the number 1 reason I started watching your channel; I already know a fair amount about the well known countries. I'm still looking for a good source on the exact history that lead to the borders of each modern African country to develop. I know most of it comes from colonial boundaries, but the decisions that lead to those largely arbitrary borders is still mysterious to me. I have started to learn that they aren't all as arbitrary as I thought though, partially thanks to your channel.

I love learning about Africa and other unpopular places! Love from Croatia

No matter what country it is, your videos are so good I always watch at least 5 times each.
