Old thread or not, there are always new channels, so post 'em if you got 'em! One of my new favorites: [Mr. Carlson’s Lab](https://www.youtube.com/user/MrCarlsonsLab) That fellow is an amazing teacher who walks the viewers through complex rebuilds of old tube radios and associated paraphernalia. Even though my understanding of electronics is poor-to-none, I enjoy following along as he brings a radio from 1938 back to life. ---

Any great social satirists out there? Doesn’t have to be popular like Bill Hicks - could be someone who has little followers, but interesting. Music from the 60/70s? Movies from the 1930-70s? Hell, I’d love to check out a channel with people over 80 years old. ---

**[First We Feast/ Hot Ones](https://www.youtube.com/user/FirstWeFeast/videos):** Premise: 1-on-1 celebrity interviews with host Sean Evans. Host and guest chat while eating chicken wings doused with sauce containing increasingly higher scoville units. If the celebrity completes all ten sauces, they get to plug whatever projects they’re involved with. The higher the heat rises, the more the celebrities let down their hair. Quite funny and Sean is a surprisingly good interviewer (he eats the wings, too).[Gordon Ramsay](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9DyHthJ6LA&t=20s) (NSFW!) **[Brandi TV:](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5Ke52IVJvw9vmsj7EhMu5Q/videos)** my teen daughter introduced me to this channel and we watch it together. Premise: Girl gets high on edibles, applies kooky makeup, then calls in her husband to get his reaction. Quite silly. But, Brandi has such an infectious laugh and bubbly personality, it’s a sure cure for lifting the doldrums. [Pennywise](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKj57JzZD2g) ---

I watched a bit of Mr. Kitboga and had a good time. Thanks. Then I clicked on a sidebar link to listen to another scam-baiter. Atomic Shrimp. And ohmighod, it was dry understated English Humour, with excellent production — just wonderful to watch and hear. A letterhead appears on the screen, featuring the name, Mange Tout. An SDMB search revealed that, yeah, Atomic Shrimp is the Youtube channel for Doper **mange tout**. I think I’d checked out his channel several years ago, but the video I watched then wasn’t as much fun as his scambaiting. A link: [OK—Let’s tell the scammer that I already have the money](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9eYdGGfObKk). And the,[even better, sequel](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UxTQVFV2GMU).

Since I was very young, I’ve always loved watching trains. Doesn’t matter if it’s freight, passenger, intermodal… So I can recommend Virtual Railfan ([Virtual Railfan - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOIkT9bq-1N2BvrsBjhNlag)), he’s got cameras in numerous locations around the USA so if a train isn’t due on one for awhile, there’s probably one on the next, plus you have 12 hour playback. If you don’t want to hang around (and most have a on-going chat, he has a bunch of highlight clips on his site. Again, you have to love trains and you got to be patient. But if your a railfan at heart, it’s a place to check out. ---
