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
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.
Clara’s channel Great Depression Cooking. I stumbled upon her channel last year, saw the date it was released and got a sad. Still, love her.
I’d love to hear the stories!
First We Feast/ Hot Ones: 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 (NSFW!)
Brandi TV: 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
Living Traditions Homestead: They define the word “vlog.” They live in a small hobby farm in southern Missouri, and while they are Christian, they don’t get in your face about it.
Phyllis Stokes: She was a true Southern lady who died late last year at age 75, just a few months after her husband 
; her son is continuing the channel. Most of the videos are about cooking, and all of them are about their lives in general.
and of course, from Finland:
Hydraulic Press Channel
Beyond The Press
and the wife’s personal channel
Unfortunately, the Bernie-worship in recent months has gone a bit OTT.
ZDoggMD, more relevant than ever:
And of course, Dr. Pimple Popper.
Fans of prog, hard rock, and arena rock will love Sea of Tranquility.
And if classical music is your thing, there’s Stephen Malinowski’s animation channel.
I recently discovered
She mostly does cooking and tasting videos but, even if you’re not into that, her infectious personality, genuineness, and sense of humor makes her very entertaining.
She is neither Japanese (she’s of Chinese descent) and she is in New England rather than Japan. The channel name reflects how it started when she was living in Japan years ago.
She also has a bee keeping channel at
She’s great!
Kitboga, master scam-baiter.
Youtube-highlights of his scambaiting videos on Twitch.
Twitch-live scambaiting plus full length videos of his calls(3-6 hours in length)
He uses a voice-changer plus excellent character development and improv skills to keep scammers occupied for hours.
Been watching Kitboga for a while. He’s a great scam-baiter. The more time these scam-baiters waste scammer’s time, the less time they have to scam the elderly. Plus, he’s funny as hell, particularly when he role-plays granny!
Historyteachers:
and for us LotR fans, this is amazing:
I like Lindy Beige, but damn he is biased towards British.
Horrible Histories have both good and bad, but this one is great:Horrible Histories - The Borgia Family | Horrible Songs | Radical Renaissance - YouTube
I posted this elsewhere but, since this thread has been revised, highly recommend Violin MD. Link posted is her Covid-19 video. She’s informative and a great communicator.
I’ve also been watching the South Main Auto Repair channel, satisfying to see a mechanic who is very up on technology
Finally Aging Wheels covers some interesting cars, including his Trabant *he goes on to rebuild the engine and tranny in other videos
Here’s a video by one of my favorite You Tubers, Caitlin Doughty.
He’s great!
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.
And the,even better, sequel.
I also like Agadmater’s chess channel.
And the Opossum Lady: Proper Opossum Massage.
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), 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.
I’ve been enjoying different Line Rider videos to classical music such as Matthew Buckley.
