Inspired by another thread where people were complaining about the really annoying ones. What channels can people recommend?

My offering is Jago Hazzard, to whom I've become slightly addicted. He does slightly nerdy but interesting videos on little-known stuff about London, the tube, and related topics. Lovely voice, and nice touches of dry humour. Here's the latest example -

Thank you for the Jago Hazzard recommendation, I hadn't heard of him. Just subscribed and happily watching my way through his videos!

Can I suggest Fascinating Horror? The topic may not suit everyone, but he talks about various accidents/disasters through history and how they've influenced safety regulations now. He does it in a really sensitive, respectful way though, not like the ones that ham it up and show gory pictures for likes. He also has several that are less well known and not been done to death by other channels. I've learnt a lot, he's a very good storyteller 🙂

"Ozzy Man Reviews" (yes, it was introduced to me by a teenager, why do you ask?).

The "Flatbush Cats" channel.

The Illuminaughtii- a US woman called Blair who talks about cults, MLMs, history, dodgy businesses and charities, and natural phenomena. She's snarky but informative.

Another fan of Emmymade. She is such a pleasant personality, and I enjoy her sense of culinary adventure.

I watch YouTubes of watercolour painting. There are quite a few that do tutorials and some you can just watch painting. I like Shayda Campbell, Jenna Rainey, and Emma Jane Lefebvre. Andrew Geeson is another one. He uses very loose technique.

There are many others. I find them relaxing and inspirational.

I have also watched Kelly Latevola who is an amazing Copic colourist.

Leena Norms. Intelligent and humorous video essays about life, stuff and books.
Kingingit - welsh couple in a bus called custard. Hilarious
What Vivi did next. Retired nurse who grows almost her entire food stock on her tiny allotment. She's very chatty and it like listening to your nan natter on. Just delightful.
Justin & Juby. Beekeepers living in a bus with their toddler in North Carolina.
Geoff Marshall. All things train and tube nerdy stuff.
Map Men. Again nerdy stuff like Flags, Words, London transport etc but really funny.
Ondo. Young Korean vlogger who just shows us her normal day. What she has for lunch etc but it's not in a flashy way, it's more of a asmr vibe. Really interesting to see their daily life.

@FeelingAwfulll

I like the guy who travels around the world trying different foods - Mark Wyans or something along those lines. Someone please correct me if that’s not his name.

Mark wiens is my fave too!! I'm on a diet right now so I can't watch it but he inspired my recent transition to healthy real food... my family are all wish I never found him as they'd rather eat anything golden

The exPAWers - Nick and Sarah and their 2 little dogs in a tiny van. They were travelling all over, but are currently confined to Spain. I've watched their full back catalogue of about 300 videos, in lieu of being able to travel anywhere myself at the moment. They are very likeable and should have more subscribers than they actually have. www.youtube.com/c/theexPAWers/featured

Arun Maini aka MrWhoseTheBoss introduced to me by my ds (12).
Entertaining comparison videos on phones, accessories, tech fails, spyware... geeky stuff but really well presented with humour and he has two cute cats. Actually he's pretty cute himself. Believe you me, he has to be good to pique my interest as usually I glaze over at this stuff! Grin

Daz Black, He has a channel called gazgames, he does a series called 'daz watches' which are hilarious. He basically watches the strangest videos online and reacts to them, I have been watching him over the lockdowns and he has had me laughing for months.

The Timeless Watch Channel - mostly reviews of watches but some other stuff. Beautifully filmed by an Irish ex rockstar who lives in Venice. Exquisite watches, stuff about wine, whisky, cigars, wonderful Italian scenery, all set to fabulous classical music.
