Who are your instant watch/listen/read media producers?

Technology connections on YouTube

[Tina] Fey / [Robert] Carlock

They're the team behind "30 Rock", "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" and several others.

Also Jack Burditt who produced both of those and many other shows I've enjoyed such as "Just Shoot Me" and "Frasier".

Taskmaster of any nationality.

Knowledge fight (rip)

Retrograde amnesia

Stephin Merritt (musician / songwriter)

Robin McKinley (novelist)

Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (television and film)

I will drop everything to listen to listen to new music by any of my favorite bands. Some standouts are: Baroness, Coheed and Cambria , Lake Street Dive, Kamasi Washington, Alabama Shakes, The Bird and The Bee, the Decemberists, Khemmis and SO MUCH MORE.

TLDR: I'm a music guy.

Ze Frank and Joel Harver

Youtube:

Dank Pods/Garbage Time - shouty Australian doing stuff

James Channel - less shouty Australian tinkering with things, mainly old gaming stuff

Anttimation - Finnish history things with beautiful graphics

Stefan Milo - Anthropology things

Lazerpig - a gay, drunk, Scottish pig yelling about things.

Jay and Mark - Map men, map men, map map map men men men.

LGR - Retro game things

I don't really have any. I will go through ebbs and flows of different creators but won't watch something just because it was just released, I'll watch it on my timetable.

Podcasts: Modern Wisdom (Chris Williamson), Making Sense (Sam Harris)

YouTube: Andrew Camarata, Primitive Technology (John Plant), Casey Neistat

Nowadays, I don't think there's anyone that I'd rush out and consume for.

Games workshop. Slap a 40k skin on a turd and it just becomes awsome.

Mark Kurlansky - author of historical non-fiction (often centered around food history and its cultural impacts) and journalist

Fuchsia Dunlop - author of books on Chinese cooking, particularly Sichuanese

John Langan - author of cosmic horror

John Oliver - needs no introduction, I'm sure

If I see a new Max Miller video is out, I will drop pretty much whatever I'm doing to watch it. I love Tasting History.

I watch Good Mythical Morning/GMMore every weekday morning. Also, Last Meals from the Mythical Kitchen channel. Mythical Chef Josh is probably my favorite online personality. I used to watch A Hotdog Is A Sandwich without fail, but I have recently had my fill of Nicole, so I skip those now.

I watch a lot of Mike Chen (Strictly Dumpling).

JonnyCakes, Sambucha, and L3WG are also folks whose videos I click on without hesitation.

SortedFood might be the best cooking show on YouTube.

The Food Theorists is another great channel. I miss the original host, but the new guy is still entertaining.

JOLLY almost always hits the spot. I have how childish/dumb Ollie's humor is, and when Josh laughs so hard it sounds like he's dying, that makes me laugh along with him, even if the thing he's laughing at wasn't that funny to me.

The dudes from Fallow provide a lot of useful information, and they do it in an entertaining way.

Hank Green makes some great videos, I just skip the parts where he plays Connections, because watching someone else play a matching puzzle is just not entertaining to me.

Sir Yacht feels very relatable, and I've never seen a video from him that I didn't like. His "professional dumbass" vibe speaks to me.

Sam Reid (the YouTuber, not the Australian actor) is a great content creator, and I love his positivity. I literally have an exact copy of his "IT'S GOING TO BE OKAY" neon sign hanging on the wall of my game room.

Veritasium and NileRed are great when I want a nice science video to go with my dinner.

I have a soft spot for the ladies from Sporked, their taste test videos are informative, and their interactions just seem real, and not scripted.

Honorable mention goes to FaZe Rug. He's not my favorite, but my grandson loves him, so I always end up watching those videos with the kid.

I'm sure I'm forgetting some, but those are the ones that came to the top of my head.

Ancient Americas is the best pre-columbian history youtuber. I always watch his videos.

Here are some others I usually watch.

Stefan Milo for anthropology

Dig. for ancient near east topics

PBS spacetime for physics videos

Whats going on with Shipping for updates on the shipping industry

Technology Connections and LaurieWired for random tech stuff

Grant Harting to watch a pharmacist eat random pills

Road Guy Rob for road engineering information

Canned Fish Files to watch a man eat sardines

ESOTERICA for information on history, magic and religious practices.

Crime Pays But Botany Doesnt for botany tours of predominantly the American southwest

Asianometry for random history and tech history videos

Andy Wards Ancient Pottery for learning about historic ceramic practices

Patrick Kelly for healthcare and medical history

Stories from the Casina lol

TechTablets

The Last Dinner Party
