Wendover Productions examines "America's Most Illegal Military Base"

A new military explainer joins the channel's economic and infrastructure stories as daily views reach almost seven times their usual pace.

Channel: Wendover Productions Story of October 23, 2026Trari Newsroom

Why this story? The whole channel is running at 759,420 views a day, 6.8 times a normal day (111,061).

Aircraft carriers and submarines are already among Wendover Productions' most-watched subjects. Its new upload returns to military territory with a more provocative title: "America's Most Illegal Military Base."

Posted two days ago, the video has passed half a million views. It arrives alongside a sharp jump in viewing across the channel, though that channel-wide increase is not a count of views on the new release alone.

The shift in subject is notable. Wendover's preceding uploads explored Botswana's wealth, the Channel Tunnel and Ikea's business model. The military-base video brings a question of legality into that mix, with the title's "most illegal" characterization belonging to the creator.

Its credits also offer a reminder of the team behind these explainers. Sam Denby shares writing credit with Tristan Purdy and Christine Benedetti; Alexander Williard handles editing, with four animators and a separate sound team credited on the production.
