I prefer YouTube as the platform but I’m also open to suggestions elsewhere.

Basically I’m looking for long-ish format episodes I can listen to while doing something else. Ideally the host isn’t just a voice reading a text, but someone relatable or that shows enthusiasm and/or has a personal take/ humor about the topic they’re talking about.

I sometimes listen to Simon Whistler’s videos on a variety of topics, in case you know him, I find he’s entertaining enough and his writers are usually good but I’m looking for some more variety.

I’ve tried Stuff You Should Know and the Oologies series and while the content seems well researched, I found them a bit boring for me.

Got any recommendations?

    Hardcore history is one of my favorites.

    The Block back Podcast is a great one that goes into detail of the US doing fucked up evil shit around the world. Each season is a different country and they have Afghanistan, Cuba, North Korea, and Iraq.
