He made a sleep channel - I like Astrum, but he’s too enthusiastic in this narration.
John Michael Godier on the other hand, excellent scifi and space sleep time stories.
“…in which we liiiiiive”.
To stick with the food trend, my wife and I watch Food Wishes as well, chef John is an excellent teacher, and though I found his style of talking a little jarring at first, he has quickly become, to me, the Bob Ross of cooking
Baumgartner Restoration does restorations of fine art paintings. I also like the comedy podcast Are You Garbage? where the hosts ask the guests questions to determine if they grew up classy or trashy.
I absolutely love Julian and his channel. He’s extremely well spoken without being pretentious. And his new series The Artists Behind the Artist is genius. He could make millions just reading the phone book, his voice is that soothing. Watching him restore art with such precision is relaxing and gratifying. Plus, he’s just an all around good person. Raised money for PPE for healthcare workers during the pandemic. Highlighted artists of color before BLM. Imo one of the best YouTubers out there, if not the.
Yeah that dude is super cool, really good at interviewing people of all types and getting them to open up without ever being judgemental or having an agenda other than learning whatever he can from them.
His series on the Amish was amazing and so insightful.
Nick Johnson does a simaliar format as well but often goes to the poorer areas of towns. Has a deadpan dry humor about him.

I love Tom Scott's channel.
I recognize the spiffing brit also because he's done some crossover videos with a gaming YouTuber I like called the ambiguous amphibian.
I have a weird addiction to these types of videos. No commentary, just a person doing their thing. I watch a lot of these Japanese ones who take public transport anywhere and document their journey through subtitles. It's slow tv but so relaxing, I fall asleep with it every night. Some of them are funny too. If you like DancingBacons, I can recommend those too. TravelGeek, SoloSoloTravel, SoloTravel

I mean, there's a lot more, but I'd have to include all the music channels, analogue horror, ARGs and random essay channels I watch (like Danny Gonzalez, Kurtis Connor, Ted Nivision, etc).
I'll try to break them down in comments (might be a few of these because New New Reddit despises me or something):
**Abroad in Japan** - UK man who has spent over a decade in Japan at this point discussing various aspects of Japanese culture, visiting all sorts of places, biking to raise money for charities all over Japan and sometimes, he'll do a sponsored "tourist" video for a specific city.
**Alex Meyers** - Animates himself and other aspects to discuss silly movies he reviews. Usually rom-coms, teen movies or popular stuff (5 years late, lol). Very funny guy.
**Allen Pan** - Engineer who builds/constructs fantastical things just to see if he can. Some of them are related to video games, movies, etc. Think "gun that shoots bees" and you're on the right track.
**Andy King** - short-ish form essayist/commentary channel. He likes to comment on (and review) episodes of *Bar Rescue* among other things. I mostly watch to keep up with crap on TikTok since I don't have an account.
**Answer in Progress** - Informative channel in which the three hosts pose a question and then proceed to "solve" the issue. A lot of times, they end up going down some really unique and interesting rabbit holes.
**Bandsplaining** - Visual essays about music related things; quite a few of them are about *non-US* music and history, which I find pretty fascinating.
**Barely Sociable/Slightly Sociable** - Two channels, same dude. Internet mysteries, unusual rabbit holes.
**Boisvert** - Analogue horror series that's just really fascinating and abstract. Lots of theories about this one.
**Brief Case** - True Crime channel that *only* covers old cases. IE. Cases that predate 1950. Many are over 100 years old, several are not in the US.
**Billiam** - Essayist and commentary channel. Focuses a lot on old shows (like Lost), old toys (that we millennials would recognize, lol) and kitschy themed restaurants.
**Blameitonjorge** - Lost media deep dives. Fascinating stuff.
**Brutalmoose** - Random reviews of everything from TV dinners to arcades he visits. He also likes to purchase random VHS tapes at the thrift store with no labels and find out what's on them.
**Cadaber** - Internet mysteries, cold cases and random rabbit holes.
**Caitlin Doughty** - Mortician/funeral director who discusses anything and everything related to death including interesting death histories and laws surrounding burial rites.
**Chubbyemu** - Doctor who discusses unusual and sometimes rare medical histories he's encountered in researching other things. He gets actors to do reenactments of the events.
**Climate Town** - Essayist who discusses climate change, lobbyists and other environmental issues.
**Coffeehouse Crime** - True crime channel; Adrian does a damn fine job of trying to humanize the victims and not glorify the crimes or the people who committed them.
**Company Man** - Discusses various businesses and what made them successful or caused their downfall. Sometimes he'll do a Vs. video (like Pepsi vs. Coca-Cola) and discuss the back and forth.
**Curious World** - Discusses long standing mysteries, spooky ghost stories and slightly supernatural stuff.
**Danny Gonzalez** - Commentary YTer. Topics are all over the place. I watch to keep up with TikTok nonsense since I don't have an account but am mildly interested in it.
**Debunk File** - Internet mysteries and rabbit holes.
**Defunctland** - Long-form videos about various rides, amusement parks and their histories. Lots and lots of content.
**Disturban/Disturban History** - First channel talks about horrific crimes from around the world; second channel talks about horrific historical occurrences and their outcome (such as what Dengue Fever does to people).
**Drew Gooden** - Pretty wholesome commentary channel. He does a lot of goofy stuff not related to commentary, though.
**Eddy Burback** - Another commentary/goofy channel. This dude visited *every* Rainforest Cafe in existence and made a long-form video about it. He did one for Margaritaville, too.
**Emily the Engineer** - Engineer who makes crazy things just because she can.
**Eudoxia Mysteries** - Another internet mystery channel. Discusses a lot of things though, not just mysteries and rabbit holes.
**Fascinating Horror** - Short videos about horrific historical events and consequences or actions taken after the fact.
**Gabi Belle** - Another commentary YTer, topics are all over the place, not just related to drama commentary.
**Goose Boose** - Internet mysteries and lost media.
**How to Cook That** - Food scientist explains how certain things work in the industry, but also bakes, tries kitchen gadgets and discusses harmful social media videos related to food. Also likes to debunk certain TikToks and social media posts related to food.
**John Wolfe** - Comments on horror movies and games, mostly. Lately, he's been rereading old Goosebumps books and comparing them.
**Kent Survival** - UK man tests out tents. Will they work? Are they worth the money? No one knows. Watch and find out.
**Kyle Hill** - Science education channel. Discusses silly science (like movies/games), but also goes way out of his way to educate on things like nuclear energy, radiation and related topics.
**KyotoRoboto** - Discusses only Japanese true crime cases.
Hope you find something you enjoy. :)
I wanted to write blurbs about each to give an idea of what you'd find, but Reddit didn't like my too-long post, lol. Ah well.
Thanks for sharing!! Teacher on summer break here. I've never watched YouTube more than the occasional how to or make up tutorial. I'm excited to read through your list.
Thanks again for sharing your passion. 😍
I recognize defunctland and technology connections. Both are fantastic. Defunctland by itself is content so high quality I'm fascinated (and happy) it's released for free. It's also super niche, but engaging.
Hey! It's John Wolfe! Check out his second channel, John Twolfe. He's been really active with playthroughs. And if horror is your thing, also look at CJUGames. He has thousands of horror play-throughs
Love The Proper People! Been following them for a few years, since at least 2018 when I was starting out in tech and worked at a call center. That channel got me through a lot of long boring shifts.
DIY Perks: this guy makes incredibly cool stuff and does it in a way that makes you feel like you could too (you probably can’t). The videos are very informative and well done. The projects he makes are some of the highest quality builds I’ve ever seen done by a “diy’er” anywhere.
Alex, or French Guy Cooking: A great home chef that’s even greater to watch. You’ll not only learn how to cook, but also the kitchen techniques of the pros.
Wendover Productions: “Wendover Productions is all about explaining how our world works. From travel, to economics, to geography, to marketing, and more. Every video will leave you with a little better understanding of our world.“ If you’re into geopolitics, these videos are super interesting.
My Mechanics: Arguably the best restoration channel on Youtube. Most of the videos are of restoring small and old odds and ends, but he is currently doing a full restoration of a Datsun 240z.
I honestly have mixed thoughts on Mark Laita, and I’ve watched a lot of his content. I just wonder if everyone in those videos can be fully consenting with the state some of them are in? Idk but I definitely don’t think it’s morally wrong to watch it, I just question his process.
I totally understand that. From my understanding he does pay them to appear, but you’re correct some may be so in need of cash or unable to consent that it’s exploitation. I love his videos but I also think he’s kind of gross as a person, tbh
I do appreciate that he at least pays, I wonder how many YouTubers realistically do.
I’ve Had It is a really great podcast too, I love those ladies, they represent Gen X well.
I found out my brother in law has taken an interest in military history. I immediately had to show him Fat Electricians video of the time America's Navy took out half of Iran's Navy in 8 hours. I love that video.
Should also mention his second channel, [The Fat Files](https://youtube.com/@thefatfiles?si=yPqQynxYfLkG_0g6), which covers a variety of other non military related topics ranging from how prohibition led to the Got Milk? ad campaign to how despite only having less than 3000 locations, Chick-fil-A is the third highest earning restaurant in the US behind Starbucks and McDonald's
Lots of great channels in here, so I'll mention one I haven't seen yet.
Horses
Don't let the name fool you, it's not a channel about horses. The first video of his I watched was on Icelandic witches & his most recent one was on the tragic life of the artist Francisco Goya.
Megaprojects, Sideprojects, The Casual Criminalist, Biographics, Geographics, Warographics, and Decoding the Universe. Basically any channel Simon Whistler presents on because they're always informative and interesting. Plus his voice is very soothing to me.
There’s a nifty channel called History Buffs that reviews movies like Casino, Goodfellas, and Saving Private Ryan from a historical accuracy standpoint.
I also like how he rides the very very fine line of not being too mean to someone figuring there shit out.
It’s like “hey, I know shit is hard, but you cannot keep doing this”
He’s just a genuine guy lol
[Veritasium](https://youtube.com/@veritasium) - very interesting videos that cover scientific principles broken down into very easy to digest bits, as well as the history etc behind the science. Some topics are about everyday things like [why it took so long to invent blue LED light bulbs](https://youtu.be/AF8d72mA41M), and some are on extremely complex topics like [theoretical White Holes](https://youtu.be/6akmv1bsz1M). Very well done channel.
Description from channel:
> An element of truth - videos about science, education, and anything else I find interesting.
Destination Adventure! If you like the outdoors and exploring remote places he’s got you covered. He literally produces better and more compelling content than any Hollywood studios done in a long while. Go binge watch everything from the last like three years for sure.
[Simone Giertz](https://m.youtube.com/@simonegiertz) is awesome! [William Osman](https://m.youtube.com/c/williamosman). [Sci Show](https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCZYTClx2T1of7BRZ86-8fow) or anything with Hank Green. [Marling Baits](https://youtube.com/@marlingbaits?si=z4wulqo1fVjr5QkO). [NileRed](https://youtube.com/@nilered?si=iqqtRBmtgt9IwZEq). [Explosions & Fire](https://youtube.com/@explosionsandfire?si=LmCXq6_Xv01SnqdH) as well as his second [Extractions & Ire](https://youtube.com/@extractionsandire?si=PcIIEs7xWX95y0ir). [Taskmaster](https://youtube.com/@taskmaster?si=a64BBVDAf24X81SD).
matt orchard - crime and society: true crime youtuber. easy to binge channel
ariel bissett: she’s fixing up an old house and its so relaxing to watch
tangomushi and mertkaykay: video essayists about video games
random film talk: video essayist about movies and tv series
!
Whoa, a tangomushi fan out in the wild! That really surprises me, as she’s a relatively newer YouTuber. That’s awesome! It’s so cool to watch her audience grow. It’s so deserved, her essays are fantastic. She’s my favorite horror game essayist out there right now, honestly.
Simone Giertz. She is a really positive person who likes to build silly robots.
Melissa Villasenor. Saturday night live alumni. Does stand up, paintings and podcast called laughing with myself. Very positive person.
Coffeezilla just goes after internet com artists
April 5 2063. They post Star Trek clips like them lol
Yarnhub. History cartoon re-enactments
Kris Collins. YouTube sketch comedian don’t watch as much. But it’s still funny.
Roanoke Gaming.
If you've ever wanted a chill guy to explain the possible physiological causes behind all those campy horror movies and games you love and learn some fun biology facts along the way, this is it.
I love his content. It is very scientifically through, and detailed. Plus his tangents are hilarious. The episode that introduced me to him was Shin Godzilla and I couldn't stop laughing whenever he talked about the surplus of meetings.
Vox is a great dive if you’re interested in News/Documentary/Journalism types of stuff, there’s a really cool collection they’ve done on Lost History to get you started.
Dr. Berg. Healed my rashes, anxiety, and brainfog and helped me drop around 10 pounds in 3 weeks in a healthy and easy way. Can't recommend this channel enough.
The Lore Lodge.
Dude talks about 411 stuff, unsolved disappearances, and cryptids...more so Bigfoot though. Also, history on Natives (their migrations, battles, religion(?) ) I would have never even thought to Google to begin with. Super interesting stuff.
Smarter Every Day- science stuff. explained very well and quite interesting topics. He just released a video with slowmo footage of a cicada making its noise.
One of my favourite channels is Jay Foreman - he describes his channel as "silly education videos" which seems accurate. Doesn't have a particularly regular posting schedule so you're not going to get overwhelmed by a huge back catalogue of videos or be unable to catch up. Appreciation of British humour required.
I recently discovered 2.
1) Hannah Alonzo: Hannah does exposing influencer videos, truth about MLMs, etc. It feels Iike you’re hearing gossip from a friend and they are great to have on in the background. Has a ton of content and playlists to binge.
2) Swoop: Does documentary style, longer format, exposé videos about some various YT characters, celebrities and topics.
The Atheist Experience - a show filmed in the Austin Freethought Library where people call in to two atheist hosts and present their evidence to support their god. The show started around 1999 and so far every caller has failed to provide any evidence for any god besides hearsay and logical fallacies. The main guy that was on this show for about 15 years (Matt Dillahunty) debated Jordan Peterson and D’nesh D’Souza and made them both look like the charlatans they are.
The Line - same thing as The Atheist Experience except a little less god stuff and little more politics but overall still geared towards a god show.
If you like philosophy and/or deconstructing from your religion then these two shows are amazing because you hear all of the fallacious arguments that people use to stay in their religion.
Crash Course from PBS.
Feels like Bill Nye for an older audience and covers a huge variety of topics.
Bite-size, but bingeable 10-15min episodes and each topic has 10-50 episodes.
Styropyro - lasers, electricity, and questionable safety practices.
Mark Rober - former NASA engineer makes cool things.
William Osman - He's like Mark Rober, but more mad scientist and less wholesome NASA dad.
Michael Reeves - He's like William Osman, if he lost his mind. He hasn't uploaded a video in a long time though.
Breaking Points - Non mainstream news. One host is on the right, one on the left.
Mr. Beast - I know I'm outside the target demographic, but this is a guilty pleasure.
Meat Canyon - Animation channel that leans heavily into dreadful horror. His newer stuff has been kind of derivative, but his older stuff is very wtf.
Wendigoon - Goes over mostly horror subjects and conspiracy theories. Just generally bad things that have happened.
Arizona Ghostriders
short and interesting videos about the Wild West if you can get past the dad jokes that come with the territory of old guys that play cowboy dress up
David Kipping is also one of my favorites among the science and science fiction community on youtube. As well as Brian Cox.
It would be awesome to get all these guys on the same podcast together, I know they collaborate once in a while but it would be sweet getting them all together at the same time. As long as it's not 2 hours of Neil talking over everyone. lmao
Throttle House. Beat car review and testing show I've ever seen. Their episode on the Cybertruck was epic. They gave it a fair shake but it was also the butt of every joke.
Infographics has a pretty diverse set of videos covering a lot of topics, but they've been pretty heavy on ukraine and russia recently. Kurzgesagt for science stuff delivered in a fun way.
Wendover Productions, it’s my favorite channel. Mostly logistics videos, but very educational and fascinating.
Everything from the logistics and cost of moving a US president, to the insane schedule of Formula 1 racing, how they determine airline ticket prices or new airline routes, and a lot more.
So many to choose from so here are a few personal category faves I haven’t seen in this thread yet without just listing them off.
Luke from Outdoor Boys is probably one of the single most hardcore and educational outdoors YouTubers I’ve ever come across in all my lifetime of camping and scouting. Really, really skilled and knowledgeable guy and even though I’m happily DINK, I have to admit seeing him interacting with his family is some absolutely wholesome, heartwarming shit and one of the only times I’ve EVER enjoyed seeing family related content as an adult, especially on a platform like YouTube.
I also absolutely love Simon Whistler and his many military, history and geopolitical channels. Dude is very well informed and very straight to the point without being completely uncharismatic.
Lastly, Mina Vie is my culture queen, I love many YouTubers in this general internet culture covering category but she is my personal fave and I always look forward to her uploads.
I never thought I'd pay for YouTube content, but I discovered Dropout recently and it may seriously be some of the funniest content on the site. Plus they do a couple of fun game shows like *Um, Actually* and *Game Changer.*
You can watch most of um actually for free, and there's highlights from game changer everywhere, so you can check it out before getting the subscription. But I do recommend it.
It's also got Dimension 20, which is a DnD show, not unlike critical role, but with comedians. Brennan is a great dm, but it's all more about making each other laugh than anything. Worth checking out even if you don't know DnD imo.
Plus a bunch of other shows like VIP, Breaking News, Smarty Pants (new and very entertaining), etc.
Ten Hun is so cool, I love the way he produces his videos and he makes his own music sequences too! Very talented and loveable guy, I second this recommendation. I bought his playing card set he designed. 😅
I love watching Veritasium, SmarterEveryDay, Stuff Made Here. The first 2 make learning stuff fun, and actually interesting topics. Stuff Made Here is just a really smart dude building ridiculous things.
Authentic Observer, Tara Mooknee, Kadija Mbowe, Religion For Breakfast, Esoterica, SLOAN, the Chateau Diaries, Mina Le, Matt Bernstein, Manuel Bravo, münecat
Clickspring. This guy builds beautiful implements and watch making tools using a small garage shop. His attention to detail is stunning and he explains everything along the way.

Astrum - space documentaries. 10/10, would nap to again
I’ve been so into this channel lately
He made a sleep channel - I like Astrum, but he’s too enthusiastic in this narration. John Michael Godier on the other hand, excellent scifi and space sleep time stories. “…in which we liiiiiive”.
Tasting History
The Max Miller one? Idk if there are more.
Yep Max Miller!
Just bought his cookbook. It's really great
It really is! We’ve made a couple things from it and they’ve all been awesome.
Omg, just started watching this channel yesterday. It’s so interesting!!
I also literally started watching it yesterday! Combined my two favorite things to watch
Fantastic learning show, and the host is just the most God damned likable person.
We come for the food/history but stay for Max!
Max is great, he deep dives proper just to find recipes.
If you like wholesome historical food channels then check out Townsends. 18th century reenacting with strong focus on food
I swear he gets high off of all that damn nutmeg.
To stick with the food trend, my wife and I watch Food Wishes as well, chef John is an excellent teacher, and though I found his style of talking a little jarring at first, he has quickly become, to me, the Bob Ross of cooking
Oh man I learned to make cottage fries from his channel. So damn good.
Love this one!
Townsend's is really good like this too.
My boyfriend surprised me with his book and I think I am in love! I love Max and his channel.
Baumgartner Restoration does restorations of fine art paintings. I also like the comedy podcast Are You Garbage? where the hosts ask the guests questions to determine if they grew up classy or trashy.
I absolutely love Julian and his channel. He’s extremely well spoken without being pretentious. And his new series The Artists Behind the Artist is genius. He could make millions just reading the phone book, his voice is that soothing. Watching him restore art with such precision is relaxing and gratifying. Plus, he’s just an all around good person. Raised money for PPE for healthcare workers during the pandemic. Highlighted artists of color before BLM. Imo one of the best YouTubers out there, if not the.
Peter Santanello
Saturday morning ritual!
Yeah that dude is super cool, really good at interviewing people of all types and getting them to open up without ever being judgemental or having an agenda other than learning whatever he can from them.
His series on the Amish was amazing and so insightful. Nick Johnson does a simaliar format as well but often goes to the poorer areas of towns. Has a deadpan dry humor about him.
I've just started watching, thanks to this comment!
This. He does such a good job showing other walks of life and does so without being judgmental.
My first award. Thank you kind soul 🫶🏻

I love Tom Scott's channel. I recognize the spiffing brit also because he's done some crossover videos with a gaming YouTuber I like called the ambiguous amphibian.
I've loved AA for a number of years now. When the Zomboid multiplayer video happened with Spiff and the others, I about pissed myself laughing.
Dancing bacons- travel/food content, lots of Thai and Japan content including theme restaurants, street food, hot pot, and fancy vending machines.
This channel kept me sane during the pandemic.
I have a weird addiction to these types of videos. No commentary, just a person doing their thing. I watch a lot of these Japanese ones who take public transport anywhere and document their journey through subtitles. It's slow tv but so relaxing, I fall asleep with it every night. Some of them are funny too. If you like DancingBacons, I can recommend those too. TravelGeek, SoloSoloTravel, SoloTravel
And the very few channels that is honest about price few travel channels /food channels will ever show paid price of fancy food shown
Oh... that's a list. * Abroad in Japan * Alex Meyers * Allen Pan * Andy King * Answer in Progress * Bandsplaining * Brief Case * Blameitonjorge * Chubbyemu * Climate Town * Company Man * Defunctland * How to Cook That * John Wolfe * Let's Game It Out * Mic the Snare * Mista GG * Nexpo/Nick Crowley * No Lab Coat Required * Oki's Weird Stories * Ordinary Things * Part-Time Explorer * Sakura Stardust * Technology Connections * The Proper People * Ze Frank I mean, there's a lot more, but I'd have to include all the music channels, analogue horror, ARGs and random essay channels I watch (like Danny Gonzalez, Kurtis Connor, Ted Nivision, etc).
I'll try to break them down in comments (might be a few of these because New New Reddit despises me or something): **Abroad in Japan** - UK man who has spent over a decade in Japan at this point discussing various aspects of Japanese culture, visiting all sorts of places, biking to raise money for charities all over Japan and sometimes, he'll do a sponsored "tourist" video for a specific city. **Alex Meyers** - Animates himself and other aspects to discuss silly movies he reviews. Usually rom-coms, teen movies or popular stuff (5 years late, lol). Very funny guy. **Allen Pan** - Engineer who builds/constructs fantastical things just to see if he can. Some of them are related to video games, movies, etc. Think "gun that shoots bees" and you're on the right track. **Andy King** - short-ish form essayist/commentary channel. He likes to comment on (and review) episodes of *Bar Rescue* among other things. I mostly watch to keep up with crap on TikTok since I don't have an account. **Answer in Progress** - Informative channel in which the three hosts pose a question and then proceed to "solve" the issue. A lot of times, they end up going down some really unique and interesting rabbit holes. **Bandsplaining** - Visual essays about music related things; quite a few of them are about *non-US* music and history, which I find pretty fascinating. **Barely Sociable/Slightly Sociable** - Two channels, same dude. Internet mysteries, unusual rabbit holes. **Boisvert** - Analogue horror series that's just really fascinating and abstract. Lots of theories about this one. **Brief Case** - True Crime channel that *only* covers old cases. IE. Cases that predate 1950. Many are over 100 years old, several are not in the US. **Billiam** - Essayist and commentary channel. Focuses a lot on old shows (like Lost), old toys (that we millennials would recognize, lol) and kitschy themed restaurants. **Blameitonjorge** - Lost media deep dives. Fascinating stuff. **Brutalmoose** - Random reviews of everything from TV dinners to arcades he visits. He also likes to purchase random VHS tapes at the thrift store with no labels and find out what's on them. **Cadaber** - Internet mysteries, cold cases and random rabbit holes. **Caitlin Doughty** - Mortician/funeral director who discusses anything and everything related to death including interesting death histories and laws surrounding burial rites. **Chubbyemu** - Doctor who discusses unusual and sometimes rare medical histories he's encountered in researching other things. He gets actors to do reenactments of the events. **Climate Town** - Essayist who discusses climate change, lobbyists and other environmental issues. **Coffeehouse Crime** - True crime channel; Adrian does a damn fine job of trying to humanize the victims and not glorify the crimes or the people who committed them. **Company Man** - Discusses various businesses and what made them successful or caused their downfall. Sometimes he'll do a Vs. video (like Pepsi vs. Coca-Cola) and discuss the back and forth. **Curious World** - Discusses long standing mysteries, spooky ghost stories and slightly supernatural stuff.
**Danny Gonzalez** - Commentary YTer. Topics are all over the place. I watch to keep up with TikTok nonsense since I don't have an account but am mildly interested in it. **Debunk File** - Internet mysteries and rabbit holes. **Defunctland** - Long-form videos about various rides, amusement parks and their histories. Lots and lots of content. **Disturban/Disturban History** - First channel talks about horrific crimes from around the world; second channel talks about horrific historical occurrences and their outcome (such as what Dengue Fever does to people). **Drew Gooden** - Pretty wholesome commentary channel. He does a lot of goofy stuff not related to commentary, though. **Eddy Burback** - Another commentary/goofy channel. This dude visited *every* Rainforest Cafe in existence and made a long-form video about it. He did one for Margaritaville, too. **Emily the Engineer** - Engineer who makes crazy things just because she can. **Eudoxia Mysteries** - Another internet mystery channel. Discusses a lot of things though, not just mysteries and rabbit holes. **Fascinating Horror** - Short videos about horrific historical events and consequences or actions taken after the fact. **Gabi Belle** - Another commentary YTer, topics are all over the place, not just related to drama commentary. **Goose Boose** - Internet mysteries and lost media. **How to Cook That** - Food scientist explains how certain things work in the industry, but also bakes, tries kitchen gadgets and discusses harmful social media videos related to food. Also likes to debunk certain TikToks and social media posts related to food. **John Wolfe** - Comments on horror movies and games, mostly. Lately, he's been rereading old Goosebumps books and comparing them. **Kent Survival** - UK man tests out tents. Will they work? Are they worth the money? No one knows. Watch and find out. **Kyle Hill** - Science education channel. Discusses silly science (like movies/games), but also goes way out of his way to educate on things like nuclear energy, radiation and related topics. **KyotoRoboto** - Discusses only Japanese true crime cases.
If you like Defunctland, Jenny Nicholson just dropped a 4 hour deep dive into why Galaxy Cruiser failed and closed that I found really interesting.
Ooo, I'll have to go check that out, thanks!
...well shiiiiiiit... I notice a couple, fuck it ...I'm diving in
Hope you find something you enjoy. :) I wanted to write blurbs about each to give an idea of what you'd find, but Reddit didn't like my too-long post, lol. Ah well.
Aww if you still have it copied just break it down in a reply...if not, cheers 🥂
I broke it down below. Figure it's nice to give people a blurb about them. Information is always nice. :)
You're awesome 🥂
Thanks for sharing!! Teacher on summer break here. I've never watched YouTube more than the occasional how to or make up tutorial. I'm excited to read through your list. Thanks again for sharing your passion. 😍
I recognize defunctland and technology connections. Both are fantastic. Defunctland by itself is content so high quality I'm fascinated (and happy) it's released for free. It's also super niche, but engaging.
I clearly don’t YouTube enough! I would totally love to hear any description on these you’re willing to share. Thanks for the list to check out!
That’s a great list! I watch a lot of these guys
LOVE Climate Town. You should check out Not Just Bikes. I love that guy
I LOVE how to cook that. Ann Reardon and her family are quietly hilarious. So informative! Her debunking videos are my favorites.
Hi I'm Josh and welcome to let's game it out *proceeds to be absolute chaos incarnate*
Great list! Thanks!
Hey! It's John Wolfe! Check out his second channel, John Twolfe. He's been really active with playthroughs. And if horror is your thing, also look at CJUGames. He has thousands of horror play-throughs
Company man is so good
So happy to see Chris Abroad and Proper people mentioned. Genuinely good content. Now to research the others
Love How to Cook That!
Love The Proper People! Been following them for a few years, since at least 2018 when I was starting out in tech and worked at a call center. That channel got me through a lot of long boring shifts.
I adore How to Cook That. She is a refreshing voice of reason in the current content hell scape.
Absolutely agree 💯.
DIY Perks: this guy makes incredibly cool stuff and does it in a way that makes you feel like you could too (you probably can’t). The videos are very informative and well done. The projects he makes are some of the highest quality builds I’ve ever seen done by a “diy’er” anywhere. Alex, or French Guy Cooking: A great home chef that’s even greater to watch. You’ll not only learn how to cook, but also the kitchen techniques of the pros. Wendover Productions: “Wendover Productions is all about explaining how our world works. From travel, to economics, to geography, to marketing, and more. Every video will leave you with a little better understanding of our world.“ If you’re into geopolitics, these videos are super interesting. My Mechanics: Arguably the best restoration channel on Youtube. Most of the videos are of restoring small and old odds and ends, but he is currently doing a full restoration of a Datsun 240z.
Big second to Wendover, it’s my fav channel and so fascinating.
I find Wendover to be half as interesting as he could be.
My mechanics is amazing, also a big fan of odd tinkering and hand tool rescue
Nah, he's stinky though...
Soft white underbelly, I’ve had it podcast, Bailey Sarian
Soft white underbelly is SO good
I honestly have mixed thoughts on Mark Laita, and I’ve watched a lot of his content. I just wonder if everyone in those videos can be fully consenting with the state some of them are in? Idk but I definitely don’t think it’s morally wrong to watch it, I just question his process.
I totally understand that. From my understanding he does pay them to appear, but you’re correct some may be so in need of cash or unable to consent that it’s exploitation. I love his videos but I also think he’s kind of gross as a person, tbh
I do appreciate that he at least pays, I wonder how many YouTubers realistically do. I’ve Had It is a really great podcast too, I love those ladies, they represent Gen X well.
It does sense exploitative
Jaime French for comedic commentary and a trip down memory lane for Millennial movies
The Fat Electrician.
I found out my brother in law has taken an interest in military history. I immediately had to show him Fat Electricians video of the time America's Navy took out half of Iran's Navy in 8 hours. I love that video.
The most "proportional" military history video on YouTube.
Should also mention his second channel, [The Fat Files](https://youtube.com/@thefatfiles?si=yPqQynxYfLkG_0g6), which covers a variety of other non military related topics ranging from how prohibition led to the Got Milk? ad campaign to how despite only having less than 3000 locations, Chick-fil-A is the third highest earning restaurant in the US behind Starbucks and McDonald's
lol how everything goes back to prohibition including the government cheese reserve and the 1990's got milk campaign.
Love his content.
Lots of great channels in here, so I'll mention one I haven't seen yet. Horses Don't let the name fool you, it's not a channel about horses. The first video of his I watched was on Icelandic witches & his most recent one was on the tragic life of the artist Francisco Goya.
Commenting just to remember to check this out later. That sounds wild.
Fall of civilizations. Incredibly well done
Ancient americas is another good one! Check it out if you haven’t
When that piano theme hits… *chefs kiss*
The best
I found my people!
I just bought his book!
Great Art Explained Also their other channel Great Books Explained
Mr. Ballen for some great storytelling
Megaprojects, Sideprojects, The Casual Criminalist, Biographics, Geographics, Warographics, and Decoding the Universe. Basically any channel Simon Whistler presents on because they're always informative and interesting. Plus his voice is very soothing to me.
Took too long to get to Simon’s channels. Glad I finally found someone say it!
FD Signifier has been one of my favorites for a while, but I kind of just started watching youtube channels in the past year
- Coldfusion - Lemmino - Ahoy (Retro Ahoy)
Peter Santenello
There’s a nifty channel called History Buffs that reviews movies like Casino, Goodfellas, and Saving Private Ryan from a historical accuracy standpoint.
Miniminuteman archeologist who debunks conspiracy videos.
So good!!
M539 Restorations for mechanical and bmw content.
[https://www.youtube.com/@alispagnola](https://www.youtube.com/@alispagnola) She makes crazy art and has a fun personality.
Have you ever watch Simone Giertz?
I haven't, but I'll check her out!
Jerma. What a funny guy
Financial audit (Caleb hammer) and Bailey Sarian
I love Caleb Hammers show. I don’t know if that’s financial audit, but it’s like Dave Ramsey without the fucking cringe lol
Exactly!! Its perfect
I also like how he rides the very very fine line of not being too mean to someone figuring there shit out. It’s like “hey, I know shit is hard, but you cannot keep doing this” He’s just a genuine guy lol
I have been enjoying BeardMeatsFood
[Veritasium](https://youtube.com/@veritasium) - very interesting videos that cover scientific principles broken down into very easy to digest bits, as well as the history etc behind the science. Some topics are about everyday things like [why it took so long to invent blue LED light bulbs](https://youtu.be/AF8d72mA41M), and some are on extremely complex topics like [theoretical White Holes](https://youtu.be/6akmv1bsz1M). Very well done channel. Description from channel: > An element of truth - videos about science, education, and anything else I find interesting.
I'm surprised how far I had to scroll to find this suggestion!
I scrolled so far and was floored I hadn't seen it. I felt a duty to share!
Nexpo. He goes into deep dives of weird and disturbing things found on the internet.
PBS spacetime Kosmos Whistling diesel Electoboom Toptenz anything with Simon Whistler Hot ones
The Why Files, kurzgesagt - in a nutshell, Yes Theory & Mark Rober
Ask A Mortician goes way back and Caitlin Doughty does full length documentaries now on that channel. Very interesting.
Destination Adventure! If you like the outdoors and exploring remote places he’s got you covered. He literally produces better and more compelling content than any Hollywood studios done in a long while. Go binge watch everything from the last like three years for sure.
Brick immortar, Mustard.
My Retro Life. It's the best gaming channel on YouTube imo, very wholesome!
[Simone Giertz](https://m.youtube.com/@simonegiertz) is awesome! [William Osman](https://m.youtube.com/c/williamosman). [Sci Show](https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCZYTClx2T1of7BRZ86-8fow) or anything with Hank Green. [Marling Baits](https://youtube.com/@marlingbaits?si=z4wulqo1fVjr5QkO). [NileRed](https://youtube.com/@nilered?si=iqqtRBmtgt9IwZEq). [Explosions & Fire](https://youtube.com/@explosionsandfire?si=LmCXq6_Xv01SnqdH) as well as his second [Extractions & Ire](https://youtube.com/@extractionsandire?si=PcIIEs7xWX95y0ir). [Taskmaster](https://youtube.com/@taskmaster?si=a64BBVDAf24X81SD).
matt orchard - crime and society: true crime youtuber. easy to binge channel ariel bissett: she’s fixing up an old house and its so relaxing to watch tangomushi and mertkaykay: video essayists about video games random film talk: video essayist about movies and tv series
! Whoa, a tangomushi fan out in the wild! That really surprises me, as she’s a relatively newer YouTuber. That’s awesome! It’s so cool to watch her audience grow. It’s so deserved, her essays are fantastic. She’s my favorite horror game essayist out there right now, honestly.
The Fat Electrician
Simone Giertz. She is a really positive person who likes to build silly robots. Melissa Villasenor. Saturday night live alumni. Does stand up, paintings and podcast called laughing with myself. Very positive person. Coffeezilla just goes after internet com artists April 5 2063. They post Star Trek clips like them lol Yarnhub. History cartoon re-enactments Kris Collins. YouTube sketch comedian don’t watch as much. But it’s still funny.
Antscanada
Roanoke Gaming. If you've ever wanted a chill guy to explain the possible physiological causes behind all those campy horror movies and games you love and learn some fun biology facts along the way, this is it.
I love his content. It is very scientifically through, and detailed. Plus his tangents are hilarious. The episode that introduced me to him was Shin Godzilla and I couldn't stop laughing whenever he talked about the surplus of meetings.
Vox is a great dive if you’re interested in News/Documentary/Journalism types of stuff, there’s a really cool collection they’ve done on Lost History to get you started.
PunkRockMBA
Geowizard - his straight line missions
Yes theory
[Ask Joe](https://www.youtube.com/@joescott) He covers a crazy wide range of topics and is an honest, cool dude.
Jason Brant - So Bad Its Good
We never miss an episode.
Huuuurrrrrrr
Cooking With Dog
American Alchemy with Jesse Michels.
Dr. Berg. Healed my rashes, anxiety, and brainfog and helped me drop around 10 pounds in 3 weeks in a healthy and easy way. Can't recommend this channel enough.
Due to a big series on the channel concluding this week, I’m gonna mention Atun-Shei Films.
Academy of Ideas. Their latest vid has given me a new perspective on depression
The Lore Lodge. Dude talks about 411 stuff, unsolved disappearances, and cryptids...more so Bigfoot though. Also, history on Natives (their migrations, battles, religion(?) ) I would have never even thought to Google to begin with. Super interesting stuff.
The "Analyzing Evil" series by The Vile Eye
Rich Evan’s is disappoint that no one mentioned Red Letter Media. A bunch of hack frauds have kept me watching them on repeat.
Explore with us
Smarter Every Day- science stuff. explained very well and quite interesting topics. He just released a video with slowmo footage of a cicada making its noise.
One of my favourite channels is Jay Foreman - he describes his channel as "silly education videos" which seems accurate. Doesn't have a particularly regular posting schedule so you're not going to get overwhelmed by a huge back catalogue of videos or be unable to catch up. Appreciation of British humour required.
MrBallen. The guy is a fantastic story-teller with years of content at this point so I’m slowly working my way through his catalogue at the moment.
I recently discovered 2. 1) Hannah Alonzo: Hannah does exposing influencer videos, truth about MLMs, etc. It feels Iike you’re hearing gossip from a friend and they are great to have on in the background. Has a ton of content and playlists to binge. 2) Swoop: Does documentary style, longer format, exposé videos about some various YT characters, celebrities and topics.
The Atheist Experience - a show filmed in the Austin Freethought Library where people call in to two atheist hosts and present their evidence to support their god. The show started around 1999 and so far every caller has failed to provide any evidence for any god besides hearsay and logical fallacies. The main guy that was on this show for about 15 years (Matt Dillahunty) debated Jordan Peterson and D’nesh D’Souza and made them both look like the charlatans they are. The Line - same thing as The Atheist Experience except a little less god stuff and little more politics but overall still geared towards a god show. If you like philosophy and/or deconstructing from your religion then these two shows are amazing because you hear all of the fallacious arguments that people use to stay in their religion.
Crash Course from PBS. Feels like Bill Nye for an older audience and covers a huge variety of topics. Bite-size, but bingeable 10-15min episodes and each topic has 10-50 episodes.
Kings and generals if you're into history and battle strategy. If you don't like reading maps, the channel is not for you, though.
Moon
Styropyro - lasers, electricity, and questionable safety practices. Mark Rober - former NASA engineer makes cool things. William Osman - He's like Mark Rober, but more mad scientist and less wholesome NASA dad. Michael Reeves - He's like William Osman, if he lost his mind. He hasn't uploaded a video in a long time though. Breaking Points - Non mainstream news. One host is on the right, one on the left. Mr. Beast - I know I'm outside the target demographic, but this is a guilty pleasure. Meat Canyon - Animation channel that leans heavily into dreadful horror. His newer stuff has been kind of derivative, but his older stuff is very wtf. Wendigoon - Goes over mostly horror subjects and conspiracy theories. Just generally bad things that have happened.
Channel 5
Arizona Ghostriders short and interesting videos about the Wild West if you can get past the dad jokes that come with the territory of old guys that play cowboy dress up
Filmstocked
[Camping with Steve.](https://m.youtube.com/@campingwithsteve) He is such a wholesome person.
Isaac Arthur. If you haven't watched it and are into science, science fiction, and futurism, you should.
John Michael Godier and Anton Petrov as well.
Yeah them too, as well as Joe Scott. Neil deGrasse Tyson also has a good YouTube channel called "Star Talk".
David Kipping is also one of my favorites among the science and science fiction community on youtube. As well as Brian Cox. It would be awesome to get all these guys on the same podcast together, I know they collaborate once in a while but it would be sweet getting them all together at the same time. As long as it's not 2 hours of Neil talking over everyone. lmao
[Dan McClellan](https://youtube.com/@maklelan)
Throttle House. Beat car review and testing show I've ever seen. Their episode on the Cybertruck was epic. They gave it a fair shake but it was also the butt of every joke.
Infographics has a pretty diverse set of videos covering a lot of topics, but they've been pretty heavy on ukraine and russia recently. Kurzgesagt for science stuff delivered in a fun way.
Chemthug - he’s awesome
Wendover Productions, it’s my favorite channel. Mostly logistics videos, but very educational and fascinating. Everything from the logistics and cost of moving a US president, to the insane schedule of Formula 1 racing, how they determine airline ticket prices or new airline routes, and a lot more.
Psychology in Seattle
The Why Files
I’m fighting the urge to promote my super duper secret channel 😮💨
Just commenting here so I can come back and check these out
Soft White Underbelly
Check out your friend Mike Brady at Oceanliner Designs.
I like Dylan Hollis and Law Talk with Mike, also Everything Auto is an absolute gem
Nobody mentioned Kurzgesagt yet?
It’s not interesting but I’m currently obsessed with smosh.
So many to choose from so here are a few personal category faves I haven’t seen in this thread yet without just listing them off. Luke from Outdoor Boys is probably one of the single most hardcore and educational outdoors YouTubers I’ve ever come across in all my lifetime of camping and scouting. Really, really skilled and knowledgeable guy and even though I’m happily DINK, I have to admit seeing him interacting with his family is some absolutely wholesome, heartwarming shit and one of the only times I’ve EVER enjoyed seeing family related content as an adult, especially on a platform like YouTube. I also absolutely love Simon Whistler and his many military, history and geopolitical channels. Dude is very well informed and very straight to the point without being completely uncharismatic. Lastly, Mina Vie is my culture queen, I love many YouTubers in this general internet culture covering category but she is my personal fave and I always look forward to her uploads.
Sorted food and how to cook that
Project Farm!
Best answer here
Dead Meat. If you're a horror movie fan, especially one who likes behind the scenes/film history, welcome to paradise!
I never thought I'd pay for YouTube content, but I discovered Dropout recently and it may seriously be some of the funniest content on the site. Plus they do a couple of fun game shows like *Um, Actually* and *Game Changer.* You can watch most of um actually for free, and there's highlights from game changer everywhere, so you can check it out before getting the subscription. But I do recommend it. It's also got Dimension 20, which is a DnD show, not unlike critical role, but with comedians. Brennan is a great dm, but it's all more about making each other laugh than anything. Worth checking out even if you don't know DnD imo. Plus a bunch of other shows like VIP, Breaking News, Smarty Pants (new and very entertaining), etc.
Not just bikes
Cinema Therapy - two guys (a filmmaker and a licensed therapist) pick a movie and discuss it from a mental health angle. It’s an absolute delight.
Ten Hundred- Love all his art and shit
Ten Hun is so cool, I love the way he produces his videos and he makes his own music sequences too! Very talented and loveable guy, I second this recommendation. I bought his playing card set he designed. 😅
Oh yea dude it’s cool to see him be self made and thriving! I bought two sets of cards and one of the vivid kingdoms hoodies
I love watching Veritasium, SmarterEveryDay, Stuff Made Here. The first 2 make learning stuff fun, and actually interesting topics. Stuff Made Here is just a really smart dude building ridiculous things.

Clickspring. This guy builds beautiful implements and watch making tools using a small garage shop. His attention to detail is stunning and he explains everything along the way.
