I prefer YouTube as the platform but I’m also open to suggestions elsewhere.
Basically I’m looking for long-ish format episodes I can listen to while doing something else. Ideally the host isn’t just a voice reading a text, but someone relatable or that shows enthusiasm and/or has a personal take/ humor about the topic they’re talking about.
I sometimes listen to Simon Whistler’s videos on a variety of topics, in case you know him, I find he’s entertaining enough and his writers are usually good but I’m looking for some more variety.
I’ve tried Stuff You Should Know and the Oologies series and while the content seems well researched, I found them a bit boring for me.
Got any recommendations?
The fall of civilization is really cool
By far my favorite, though I suppose OP may not like it, as it is just the (monotonous, but nice sounding) voice of the narrator, without enthusiasm, jokes or personal takes
Well I’m not going to discard it outright, maybe if it’s really well written in a way I like, it’s still engaging enough. I’d rather err on the side of too many options than too few. Thanks for the suggestions
