Over the past few months, HistoryGoneBananas has been publishing daily.
Some of you joined for the stories.
Some stayed for the analysis.
And a few of you supported this project because you wanted something deeper than headlines and timelines.
After giving this some real thought, I’m making a small but important change.
Starting February, HistoryGoneBananas will move from daily posts to 2–3 articles per week.
One of these will be a paid deep dive.
The rest will remain free and accessible to everyone.
Why the change?
Daily history content is easy to produce — and just as easy to forget.
But history that explains power, money, decisions, and consequences takes time to do properly.
Publishing less often means:
deeper research
clearer arguments
stronger storytelling
and pieces that are actually worth revisiting
This isn’t less HistoryGoneBananas.
It’s better HistoryGoneBananas.
If you’re a free reader, nothing disappears. You’ll still get regular essays and historical context — just without filler.
If you’re a paid subscriber: thank you. Your support allows me to focus on fewer, stronger pieces — the kind that connect history to the world we’re living in now.
HistoryGoneBananas was never meant to be a feed.
It’s meant to be a place to think.
February starts that next phase.
