• BrittReacts: Thoughtful, positive and charming first-time reactions to music, comedy and vintage TV from an insightful Atlanta-based former talent agent called Brittnai Person Walton. Sarah McCreanor, known professionally as "Smac" and Hydraulic Press Girl, is an Australian actor, dancer, comedian, and content creator. Her physical comedy and character-led insights on life are hilarious. Diary of a CEO: The entrepreneur Steven Bartlett hosts an series of insightful interviews with successful experts and/or celebrities who have interesting slants on life and how to live it. Steven calls the show an "unfiltered journey into the remarkable stories of the people that have defined culture, achieved greatness and created stories worth studying." Gina Lucia Reads offers an intellectual approach to reading and the psychology and practice behind the activity. She offers added value to simply reviewing the books she reads. —Chris Norris
  • I follow a few YouTube channels but the one I watch the most is Author Ever After. —Tami Winbush
  • YouTube highlight reels of America's (or Britain's) Got Talent —Randall
  • The Charismatic Voice is a classically trained vocal coach who has been on a discovery of heavy metal and rock over the past few years. Her reactions to hearing new music are flippin' DELIGHTFUL. —Jessica Snyder
  • I love the Daily Dose of Internet. Under 3 min videos almost every day, with an amalgamation of truly funny, poignant, family-friendly, "awe-moment" or "aww-moment" ("paw-moment"?) clips. 18+ million subscribers. Look forward to it (almost) every day: Also love https://www.wimp.com/. Several vids daily of interesting things around the planet.  Also family-friendly. —Peter Werrenrath
  • schnee dives deep into everything fiction writing in shows and movies, like character development & arcs in Arcane, gender roles in LOTR and beyond, etc. Cinema Therapy is entertaining, informative, reassuring, and overall a good time. Therapy, but for movie characters. —Elizabeth
  • Rocky Kanaka: “Sitting with Dogs”—he goes into a shelter (often, not always, one near his home in California) and finds dogs who are especially sad or withdrawn and sits with them until they’re ready to make friends a little—to improve their chances of getting adopted. —Deborah Robson
  • I recently started following Sarra Cannon's channel. She is an indie author and provides teaching videos on plotting and structure for emerging writers, as well as organization tips for anyone, and other resources. She is also fun to listen to and has lots of positive energy. Highly recommend. —Rachel Flinner
  • I always watch Vice Grip Garage. Named after the flexible tool, Derek rescues old cars nearing the scrap heap. He shows how most everyone can be a mechanic. —Robert Lashley
  • I love Howard Ho’s YouTube channel, where he does brilliant analyses of different songs from musical theater and movies. His analysis of “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” is epic, and his video on the use of Beethoven in the movie Die Hard is phenomenal! —Gabriela Pereira
  • When I need a little levity, I head over to @ElleCordova, because she makes me laugh about—fonts!!! —Jule Kucera
  • I highly recommend this physical therapist's regular videos.  She helps you figure out what hurts and why and what you can do about it. One recent quote:  Degenerative Disc "Disease" is NOT a disease, it's the natural process of aging. It's like calling wrinkles a disease. —Elizabeth Winthrop
  • For language facts, I love the YouTube channels Etymology Nerd and Abraham Piper. For history, The History of Everything Podcast & Steven Bell (@stakuyi). For hilarious cooking videos: B Dylan Hollis. For stage combat: Sellsword Arts. —Beks Tryth Freeman
  • The only one I consistently look at is Spilling the Beans, which contains a series of cute, short cat videos featuring a cat named Beans. The average video is about 20 seconds long, with some being only 4-5 seconds. It’s a quick pick-me-up when I’m having a rough day. —Christina Carroll-Pavia
  • I most appreciate the Raventree Ranch channel, featuring livestock guardian dogs Bo, Lily and Judge. As a dog lover who laments the vapid or commercial nature of so much YouTube content, I appreciate the care the ranch takes in crafting videos that show the personalities and preternatural capabilities of these fierce yet lovable LGDs. The Anatolian Shepherds nightly face down coyotes seeking to make dinner of the goats, alpacas and other livestock at Raventree. Rounding out the cast are “recon cat“ Luna and Bucky, the charging goat who yearns to be an LGD. —Elizabeth Stein
  • Rick Beato: I learn so much about music (and how much I don't know about music ) and Lost in the Pond, musings about Brits vs Yanks in dry/weird British humor. —Teresa Robeson
  • Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows, a beautiful channel of invented words and exploring the undulations of language and people via poetry + greyscale videos. A bit like if Borges had created short films instead of stories. And Soft White Underbelly, which is an interview channel run by a photographer in his studio, where he does respectful, deep 20 minute interviews with people society often ignores, like drug addicts, sex workers, or people living in deep Appalachia. Really powerful and personal. —Scott James
  • I love the Your Dog’s Friend YouTube channel. Your Dog’s Friend is a nonprofit in Maryland dedicated to improving dogs lives, reducing problem behaviors, and keeping dogs out of animal shelters by providing free live online workshops on positive training methods for problems like separation anxiety, resource guarding and reactivity as well as basics of obedience training and enrichment, like games. Their webinars are recorded and added to their YouTube channel. They also have resources on their website and offer online and in-person training classes and a newsletter. I’m not part of the organization but am always telling people about it. Their YouTube channel and other resources can help adoptions of challenging dogs to become successful, and help to build better understanding and trust between pet parents and their dogs. Every dog lover should know about what they offer. —Karen Dabney
  • Martijn Doolaard is a photographer, filmmaker and travel writer from the Netherlands. He finished two long distance bicycle journeys from Amsterdam to Singapore and Vancouver to Patagonia. Currently, he is renovating and living in a remote stone cabin in the Italian Alps. —Cindy Heath
  • My teenagers introduced me to The Fat Electrician. His channel has nothing to do with his name - he makes extremely entertaining military history videos about often forgotten or little-known incredible people and events. I just watched one about the Berlin airlift that educated me far better than any history class in school ever did. I don't consider myself a history buff, but I will watch anything he posts. Highly recommended (but with a heads-up that the language isn't appropriate for young ones.) —Julie Jones
