I have many faves, but for this list I offer Science Fiction With Damien Walter and Merlin.
Damien is an English writer living in Bali and talking to himself and us about scifi writers and philosophies. He has.....a delivery style.
Merlin is relatively new; a mesmerizing voice and afro discussing literature and philosophy.

SEIDS is awesome if you're a Logic Pro user. She knows ALL the tips and tricks
Tale Foundry is great commentary on literature and culture given by a robot with a very milquetoast delivery

Renaissance Periodization - working out, dieting, bodybuilding and steroids.
Dr Mike Isratel is a Dr of exercise science and doesnt chat shit. They make their money pretty transparently, and give honest to god research backed information. Lots of information that can be extracted from Beginners to Advanced and he loves a good dick joke enough for all of his content to feel fun.

If you're into an academic study of the occult or comparative religion, I like Esoterica by Doctor Justin Sledge (he's the guy from the tumblr alchemy meme about making a Paracellcian era anti-depressant)

Crash Course! They have series on history, politics, games, psychology, philosophy, folk tales, and almost every host is very good.

I watched a couple of Mike's videos. Seems like good information and he is entertaining. No music, no ads, no goofie sound effects.

Takes large scale things (Hoover Dam, locomotive, F1 car, etc) and breaks them down into their components in a long-scale video format (30+ minutes). It’s oddly soothing to watch.
I think the Steam Locomotive one is my favorite so far. https://youtu.be/Hszu80NJ438

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Esoterica is great. It’s mostly about gnostic side of western religious history. Dr. Justin Sledge is doing awesome research on the relevant topics. I’m watching that to know more about to put religion in a historical context.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]If you haven’t, I recommend checking out his book, too! Takes the video explanation style he has and turns it into text format and it works really well. My kids are fascinated by it. Maybe a future engineer in the making!
