Most of what I regularly watch has already been mentioned except for one: Tips from a Shipwright (https://www.youtube.com/user/TipsfromaShipWright). From their website, "Tips from a Shipwright was started ... with the purpose of creating a high quality video content resource for wooden boat builders, sailing enthusiasts and fellow lovers of wooden boats."

Louis Sauzedde's personality is great. His experience as a master shipwright is obvious, and I'm always amazed by the tips, tricks, and techniques that he employs while designing, building, and maintaining boats. He has a bunch of different videos, but a good starting point is probably "Season 1: Building the TotalBoat - How to build a work skiff" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C22Crc7XHoI&list=PLzlN3A2DLg...).

- Most channels by IDW (Intelectual Dark Web) people, though when you know all the arguments, due to overwatching, it can get a bit tiring.

- Tom Scott, igsquared, JunsKitchen, Alex French Cooking Guy, New York Times, Great Big Story, Strange Parts, TED, and a few philosophy ones from Brazil.

Some examples:

JunsKitchen (Japanese cooking), homemade tofu https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdNqWcUdm6I

Lateral (Tom Scott's new game show) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xS-BIcu4ew

igsquared (Brave New World vs 1984) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31CcclqEiZw

If anyone knows any good Italian channels I might like, based on the above, let me know please. Grazie.

3 Blue 1 Brown, it’s a mathematics channel with, as far as I’m concerned, unparalleled production quality. He’s a Stanford Mathematician who covers everything in topics from topology, number theory, calculus with nothing required beyond High School/1st year undergraduate maths. Also, his visualisations are nothing short of beautiful.

I watch a lot, but these are consistently good:

- You Suck at Cooking. For some reason this might be my favourite channel on YouTube. It's just incredibly funny and unique.

- CGPgrey. Extremely interesting videos, even if he posts only once in a blue moon.

- Half as Interesting. Consistently interesting and entertaining short videos.

- Scishow psych. Well done videos about psychology. See also crash course psychology.

- primitive technology. Many people have mentioned this.

- Simone Giertz. "The queen of shitty robots"

- Adam Neely. Interesting and unique videos about music.

I started with Extra Credits https://www.youtube.com/user/ExtraCreditz/featured for their game design videos, but I stayed for their Extra History and their new Extra Sci-Fi side projects. The Great War - Covers World War 1 as it happened week-by-week one hundred years ago. I love it because I'm a history buff, but WW2 is covered so well in other media that this is a welcome change of topic https://www.youtube.com/ch…

I was the sort of person who often looked down upon history as boring and useless but The Great War is such an amazing channel and changed my outlook entirely.

10 mins a week for a wrap-up of the world exactly 100 years ago, I love it, it's so fascinating and terrifying at the same time. For such a different existence there's so many parallels with the world today.
