Most of my favourites have already been mentioned but here's a few that I haven't seen:

  • Chris Spargo - Documentarian 'Answering life's little questions' (in his own words)

  • HowTown - Well researched, slick documentaries on science and sociology

  • Useful charts - Family trees and history combined with some nuanced religious history

  • Map Men - Somehow both an incredible geography channel and very funny skit show

  • ToldInStone - Regular and endlessly fascinating ancient history content

  • Captain Disillusionment - A one man special effects genius makes funny deep dives and debunks on special effects topics

  • Nile Red - Chemistry wiz kid makes alcohol from toilet paper - The closest thing to a modern alchemist I can imagine

  • Joel haver - Inventor the rotoscoped paint cartoon, funny, creatively driven and refuses to sell out

  • Patrick Boyle - Educated, nuanced and cuttingly dry humoured takes on popular economics issues

  • Steve Mould - High quality science demos and explanations with an engaging and humble host

I will second Map Men. Extremely well sourced and entertaining.

Jay's brother Beardyman is a really unique musical artist I highly recommend

Just watched it! It's amazing how much effort he goes to. Makes me appreciate how complex and expensive carbon capture and sequestration at any kind of scale must be.

He makes chemistry look so cool, casual and interesting.

Edit: I should have started that I hated chemistry in college.

What I love about this video is not that he pulled it off (more or less), but that it helps illustrate just how hard it is to use atmospheric carbon for just about anything.

True 😅, but I can't help but think he would approve of the mistake.

Love How town. They're a fairly new channel but great content.
