If you're into odd adventures, GeoWizard is well worth a watch.

https://www.youtube.com/@GeoWizard

Randomly came across one of his 'Straight Line Missions' about a year or so ago, where he attempts to cross a country in a straight line - so far he's attempted Scotland, Wales (three times) and Norway. Also a few 'How not to travel...' series.

Also does the occasional GeoGuessr video (a game I find myself wasting a lot more time than I should on) which are quite impressive, as well as other geo-related things!

[Cloudy147]

Ultimate Feel Good - Frank Tedesco. He is an amazing musician/pianist who can play anything after hearing it once. He goes on chat rooms and records reactions. Here’s one to get you started… https://youtu.be/4zMLaix8Zto?t=765 . If you like that clip, reverse it to the start and watch his rendition of “squidward nose”!

Gaming tech and emulation - ETA Prime

Just fun and funny - GilstrapTV. Mainly farting in public and recording peoples reactions. It doesn’t matter how old you are, farts are always funny and watching people laughing at it gets me really giggling.

BigDawsTv - Does some nice money related giveaways.

Wrestling Documentaries WrestlingBios - Remember those massive alfa male characters that made up your youth? This guy documents some of the storylines and back stage goings on, and does a high quality production of it too.

Murder Documentaries Coffeehouse Crime. Great research and storytelling that focusses on the crime and the victims. Very well produced.

Some picks; this is about 10% of the channels I’m subbed to:

Andrew Camarata - young guy who runs his own Landscaping business in upstate New York and has a very can-do approach. Channel is full of him buying big boy toys in various states of disrepair and sets about fixing them with blunt instruments and then puts them to work. One of those creators who never asks people to like and subscribe (he’s got over 1 mil subs).

Ashville - week-in-the-life-of vids for a construction company in the Greater London area. Fantastic look into the business and Daniel is straight forward, stand up guy.

BigMooney06 - Glaswegian guy who makes funny gaming vids; the production values on some of his videos is next level - his LA Noire series is a particular favourite of mine.

Caleb Hammer - guy interviews his (willing) subscribers about their personal finances in a bid to help them out and give them context about the (usually) dire situations they are in. Most of his subs are pretty young, who have stumbled into credit-based living having had no idea of the consequences. It can be quite eye opening what some of them are spending “their” cash on.

Get Hands Dirty - young woodworker in Portugal who makes super interesting furniture from scrap. Great production values in her videos.

IFarm WeFarm - weekly videos from an Irish Farmer about on-going life on a rural farm.

Internet Historian - hands down my favourite, funny documentary maker on the platform.

London Eats - weekly videos of a guy who has a side hustle of delivering food in London. Again high production values on his videos - really insightful stuff.

Matt’s Off Road Recovery - does what it says on the tin. They also have the coolest, home-made recovery vehicles around.

Sampson Boat Co - young guy rebuilding a 101 year old sailing tender, Tally Ho. He’s a few years in now and the level of detail and craftsmanship on the project is mind blowing.

SpeedTapeFilms - irregular but really interesting videos chronicling the working live of pilots whose job it is to fly empty planes from A to B around the world.

TwinStickGarage - Canadian guy who restores proper American trucks. His truck auction walk-around videos are a favourite of mine.

The Operations Room - animated narrations of notorious military activities from history. His recent series on WW2 was outstanding.

Good thread.

Few from me:

3Dbotmaker - Hot Wheels/1:64 diecast car racing
travelgeek - Japanese bloke riding trains/ferries/buses/sampling vending machines & capsule hotels
Drew Simms - Jeep living/camping & nature filming
Cody Townsend - adventure skiing

Motoring stuff:

Kidston Productions Great production on classic stuff
Tyrell's Classic Workshop More classic insights, and Iain Tyrell is amazingly engaging

General:

Anything Goes with James English Interviews with usually controversial people (bit marmite this but I would recommend his interview with Mo Rammy who was one of the accused in the Barrow femal assault case)
Pub Talk Interviews conducted by Alan Brazil and Ray Parlour (although I've just been on YouTube and it seems to have disappeared)

Very strange about the Pub Talk podcast. The interview with Mark Selby was a really good watch.

Another vote for James English. Also Rob Moore is a good channel.
I also like The Central Club

Sport wise
Under The Cosh
Stephen Hendy Cue Tips


I never used to like him as a TV personality but I really enjoy Russel Brand's channel.
