Mentour pilot's series on airline crashes - https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLiNyr6QSO28P2bKMcv2O_lK83...
Quite good at explaining the whys of a crash without going into the hyperbole of shows like air crash investigations.

#33Technology Connections (https://www.youtube.com/c/TechnologyConnections) is great at general analysis of how physical tech works.
Knowing Better (https://www.youtube.com/c/KnowingBetter) is a master of the "talking head babbling about stuff" genre, if that's your cup of tea.

#39You already have a lot of great recommendations, so I'll add a few I haven't seen listed yet.
- Neuroscience: Andrew Huberman | https://www.youtube.com/c/AndrewHubermanLab
Absolute Gem and really sparked my curiosity of human biology. He spends a lot of time going over the neuroscience literature, essentially giving a lecture. It's quite dense, but a lot of practical advice you can apply which is backed by science.
- History: Oversimplified | https://www.youtube.com/c/OverSimplified
A comedically narrated hyper summary of historical events. It made me very interested in learning more about events of the French revolutions, the founding of USA and it's civil wars, and more. For more depth, highly recommend the OG podcast hardcore history.
- Construction: B1M | https://www.youtube.com/c/Theb1mGoogle/featured
Lots of interesting videos about the development of unique structures.

#40I recently found out Lex Fridman's podcast and I thoroughly enjoy it. Episodes I listened to are Jack Barsky, Stephen Kotkin, and currently the one with Neal Stephenson. He interviews a broad spectrum of people, about a myriad of topics. I skipped the CEOs though some here may find interview with Zuck or Elon interesting.
