It really depends on what kind of content you want to consume. So I'll categorize some of my favorites.

Informative
Asianometry - "Video essays on business, economics, and history. Sometimes about Asia, but not always."
The B1M - Videos about constructing buildings, dams, canals, city areas, traffic tunnels, etc.
ColdFusion - "This channel aims to let you experience the cutting edge of the world around us in a relaxed atmosphere. Learn the captivating stories about how our world came to be and also learn what's happening in the cutting edge today."
DW Planet A - "Planet A explores the shift towards an eco-friendly world — and challenges our ideas about what dealing with climate change means. We look at the big and the small: What we can do and how the system needs to change."
Long Form
Theo Von - This Past Weekend w/ - He runs a podcast that isn't really like anything I've seen/listened to before. His podcast runs as a freeform podcast. Meaning that he has people from all kinds of backgrounds and statuses come on and they talk like they are hanging out. They don't really have key points that they 'have to get to.' It's more free-flowing and gives you a feeling like you're getting to know the person across from Theo Von.
Steve-O's Wild Ride! - Podcast - A wilder podcast and topics than Theo Von's podcast, but they share a similarity in actually getting to better know the person next to them.
Kristen Dirksen - "Videos about simple living, self-sufficiency, small (and tiny) homes, backyard gardens (and livestock), alternative transport, DIY, craftsmanship, and philosophies of life."
Second Thought - "Second Thought is a channel devoted to education and analysis of current events from a Socialist perspective."
I have plenty more to suggest if anyone is interested. And of different topics or types of content. Ask away.
I would not recommend Second Thought. I watched his "alternatives to capitalism" video and he offered no alternatives, just a constant rant of "America bad". Personally I think he's a tankie masquerading as a socialist
