Crash Course Recess

We interrupt your normally scheduled Crash Course content to bring a new and exciting project we're calling 'Recess'! These short, fully animated episodes are going to pop up a few times a year and will shed light on amazing stories from past or current Crash Course subjects that for one reason or another didn't make it into the shows. We're hoping they inspire you to get back into a series you may have drifted away from, or spark an interest in a subject you didn't even know you found cool! So kick back, relax, and enjoy some Recess time.

Time for another break from our ongoing series to bring you the second episode of Crash Course Recess! This time, we share the story of Jeremy Bentham, a 19th-century English philosopher and co-founder of utilitarianism. More importantly - the story of his corpse! If you caught the first one earlier this year, then you’ll know that our Recess episodes are all about finding a fascinating story related to past or current Crash Course subjects that weren’t covered in the main shows, and giving them their own short, fully-animated standalone episode. So kick back, relax, and enjoy a quick Recess!
