I’ve also recently started watching Scam Nation, which is a walkthrough of various magic tricks, in a relaxed setting. It’s not as dense as some of the others, but very good.
- nudin 3y ago- Stefan Milo – Archeology, mostly the human evolution. [1] - Adam Ragusea - fern [1] I have the desire to list him here 10 times in a row – definitely my current favorite!
- c54 3y agoApplied Science Ze Frank Asianometry Premodernist Integza
- moffkalast 3y agoThere are just so many great educational/maker channels, here's a bunch more that are least known on my list (in no particular order): Not David iforce2d Chronova Engineering Posy SuperfastMatt Michael Rechtin AlphaPhoenix Hyperspace Pirate Nicholas Rehm James Biggar Casual Navigation Kraut Spanning Tree Geo History EgyptologyLessons Carl Bugeja electrosync Historia Civilis Jeremy Fielding there oughta be Andreas Spiess
- graypegg 3y agoPosy!! I can't believe I forgot him on my list! +1 Same with casual navigation! Have I ever worked on or piloted a boat? No. But will I watch little 10min explainer videos about bilge pumps and anchor chains? Definitely.
- StephenAmar 3y agoSam Aronow is great if you are interested in Jewish history.
- pjerem 3y agoI don’t see Steve Mould and Technology Connections, but thanks for your list :)
- riffraff 3y agoOne more vote for Steve Mould. I don't follow him directly but I still end up watching a bunch of his content through random suggestions, he's quite good.
- moffkalast 3y agoThrough the magic of subscribing to both of them...
- graypegg 3y agohttps://youtube.com/watch?v=r_LG8FDt51U&t=59 https://youtube.com/watch?v=r_LG8FDt51U&t=59 And I already have a subscription, right here!
- moffkalast 3y agoAhaha completely forgot about that one, perfect.
- zikduruqe 3y agoGreat list and the majority I watch also. But you are missing Technology Connections. You'll probably find them interesting. https://www.youtube.com/c/TechnologyConnections/videos https://www.youtube.com/c/TechnologyConnections/videos
- pjerem 3y agoHehehe. This channel is full of videos about "boring" topics and still you play them and bam, you are sucked into 15 min of nerdy details about a 90’s microwave that doesn’t even exists anymore and now you are wondering why you can’t have it. Amazing channel.
- wscott 3y ago15min? try 50. I always think I will watch just 10-15 and end up watching the whole thing and then wonder why learning about a crappy refrigerator was so interesting.
- TRiG_Ireland 3y agoSteve Mould (himself a good science educator on YouTube) said that Technology Connections makes videos about things you didn't know you wanted to watch until you watched them.
- zikduruqe 3y agoWhat sold it for me, was the Sunbeam toaster. I always wondered why in the cartoons people would get shocked sticking a fork in a toaster. And into the rabbit hole I went... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OfxlSG6q5Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OfxlSG6q5Y
- JoBrad 3y agoLove him! I felt my list was getting too long, and left a lot off.
- graypegg 3y agoAnswer in Progress - a bit of everything, personal favourite right now! Simone Giertz - engineering EEVBlog - engineering ElectroBoom - engineering Technology Connections - stories about technology Cathode Ray Dude - stories about technology, watch if you like technology connections!! Socratica - math, science, programming explainers VWestLife - retro consumer tech TechMoan - retro consumer tech AvE - Canadian in a workshop, a special kind of content RobWords - language (Tom’s Language File fans check him out!) Art of the Problem - math/programming but so varied, really worth a watch Patrick Kelly - medical history, how did we discover a drug, stories about research Epic Gardening - gardening! Big focus on fruit and veg. Paige Saunders - Transit, Montreal, whatever he’s interested in! RMTransit - Transit policy and operation
- treyd 3y agoTo continue with the transit/urbanism channels... * Not Just Bikes * City Beautiful * Alan Fisher * donoteat01 (not really uploading anymore since he has a podcast that takes all his time) * Eco Gecko (also doesn't really upload anymore) * Adam Something And also others... * Folding Ideas (popular topics video essays) * hbomberguy (popular topics video essays) * Epoch Philosophy (drier more academic video essays) * BobbyBroccoli (intersection of science and politics, very well animated) * Jacob Geller (media analysis) * Explosions&Fire (aussie backyard chemistry, like NileRed, more of a vlog style) * Mustard (engineering, similar format to Real Engineering)
- graypegg 3y agoYouTube has been trying to constantly recommend me BobbyBroccoli for a while! I’ll give it a go on your recommendation, thanks!
- Waterluvian 3y agoIf there isn’t a curated “Awesome Educational Channels” list, this should be the beginning of it.
- graypegg 3y ago
- abound 3y agoStuffMadeHere is also an absolute gem. Truly incredible feats of engineering for a single person to tackle, explained in an entertaining way.

- sgeisenh 3y agoStuff Made Here
- ljm 3y agoNot quite in the same theme, but as far as gaming goes I'd put both videogamedunkey and MandaloreGaming there. Dunkey doesn't post hour long video essays, but I find that apart from the occasional filler and joke content, his focus is on fun and it is completely infused with an empathetic passion for gaming. Mandalore does the occasional deep dives into the weird and obscure but he's thorough and doesn't take it too seriously. Again, seems like a guy who is passionate about games but prefers to go off the beaten path in terms of game coverage.
- comice 3y agoThis thunderf00t video made me avoid "Undecided by Matt Ferrell": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQDXqOfC61U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQDXqOfC61U
- j-bos 3y agoThanks, another sign removing the dislike button was terrible for mankind.
- moffkalast 3y agoNeither of them are really worth watching imo.
- kurthr 3y agoThanks for these!
- fellerts 3y agoCan’t recommend Cody'sLab enough. A very curious and clever guy doing backyard experiments in most of the sciences.
- Mountain_Skies 3y agoInterested in the geology and history of industry in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan? Alexis Dahl is a great informative source. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-X3EE_jNDRg&ab_channel=AlexisDahl https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-X3EE_jNDRg&ab_channel=Alexi...
- amelius 3y agoStyroPyro :)
- drstewart 3y agoSebastian Lague is in the same vein, makes some of the best code exploration project videos I've seen. Highly entertaining and informative.
- TheCleric 3y agoHe and CodingTrain are my favorites.
- namtab00 3y agoI'll add some: AlphaPhoenix - science Jay Foreman - UK centric cartography skits, very funny Atomic Frontier - various, Tom Scott style Climate Town - US centric climate related skits, very informative, also very funny Dr. Becky - astronomy Into Europe - light, EU related informative skits Johnny Harris - journalist turned YouTuber, opinionated but tries to keep a politically neutral stance
- hatsunearu 3y agoCamden Bowen (dude is making a 3D printed internal combustion engine) AustinMcConnell (random shit) Two Minute Papers (ML paper review) Plainly Difficult (industrial accidents/disasters) Perun (military science) EEVBlog (electronics engineering) Summoning Salt (speedruns) High Performance Academy (cars/tuning) Ordinary Things (random shit) Grind Hard Plumbing Co (cars/fabrication) Engineering Explained (cars/explanation) Half as Interesting (random shit) Wendover Productions (random shit, but high quality) Economics Explained (self explanatory) Mini Air Craft Investigations (self explanatory) Renegade Cut (leftist content) LegalEagle (law) Townsends (historical foods) Casual Navigation (maritime/shipping) How To Drink (mixed drinks) Huygens Optics (optics/fabrication) EmpLemon (weird video essays) minutephysics (physics, and general science communications) All of these I'd recommend for a general audience/nerdy person. Some of them are informative, some of them are funny. I've got much more that I'm personally interested in, but generally won't be interesting for the average person.
- EE84M3i 3y agoOn the food topic, Tasting History with Max Miller is a favorite - it's interesting seeing him try to recreate recipes from historical primary sources and provide historical context. Also, Adam Ragusea has some good content on food science, among his regular cooking videos.
- anshorei 3y agoAlso on the food topic: How to Cook that with Ann Reardon is one that I like, aside from her more useful cake-related videos, she has a great series on historical recipes as well as amusing food hack debunkings.
- deleted 3y ago[deleted]
- orenlindsey 3y agoDon't forget Vsauce! He doesn't make as many videos anymore but he has a huge backlog of great videos.
- leeter 3y agoRetrotech: Adrian's Digital Basement (retrotech repair) RMC The Cave (retro curation and stories) Cntl Alt Rees (retro eclectic) Jan Beta (repair) LGR (eclectic) Mr. Carlson's lab (repair of generally older RF, but some newer) CuriousMarc (repair, testing, stories. Did a complete repair of the Apollo Guidance Computer)
- yardshop 3y agoThere are so many great channels on there! Here are a few of my recent favorites: Laura Kampf - german maker and problem solver, currently renovating a 120 year old house Jimmy Diresta - maker and designer, also renovating an old house in upstate New York Adam Savage - from MythBusters, interesting builds, and interesting discussion of shop and building techniques Rambling Wild Rosie - former long-distance hiker and interior designer, renovating an old house in the forest Sweden, figuring things out as she goes - very beautiful and peaceful videos Also loads of great wood working channels: Paul Sellers, Woodworking for Mere Mortals, Izzy Swan, Samurai Carpenter, and on and on!
- graypegg 3y agoLaura Kampf is new to me, and right up my alley! Subscribed! Mattias Wandel for the woodworking channels list as well!
- yardshop 3y agoAbsolutely, I was just outside working, thinking of building some shelves, and thought, "what about Matthias?!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QeXOb9rxRY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QeXOb9rxRY Laura Kampf is wonderful, very inventive and knowledgeable builder, and great attitude.
- TheCleric 3y agoPaul Sellers is a giant among us mere woodworkers.
- jascination 3y agoFrank Howarth is my guy, but admittedly I watch him to fall asleep (while marveling at how good he is)
- magicalhippo 3y agoSome of my subs I haven't seen mentioned yet in no particular order: FarmCraft101 (fixing and learning) ProjectsInFlight (IC manufacturing at home stuff) Lafayette Systems (rockets) Air Command Rockets (air rockets) Tod's Workshop (medieval weapons, history and testing) Les' Lab (lasers!) Erin's Audio Corner (speaker reviews) Lubrication Explained (100% lubrication) Process with Pat (process engineering) Clough42 (fabrication etc) Breaking Taps (machining and materials) Stapleton42 (NASCAR history and more) Projects With Everyday Dave (mostly solar power stuff) Brandon Acker (classical guitar and more) Building Integrity (building engineering and construction) Nebula Photos (astrophoto) Teaching Tech (3d printing) Machine Thinking (machining history) Stumpy Nubs (woodworking) Andy Cooks (cooking) Yesterdays Machinery (vintage machines and restoration) BPS.space (rockets) Jim's Automotive Machine Shop, Inc.

- fennecbutt 3y agoAsianometry
- anticensor 3y agoYeah, the one that says dramme instead of D-RAM.
