Bjorn Andreas Bull Hansen is a personal favourite. He has a very simplistic yet very direct style. A lot of his videos are about mental health and are well worth watching.

Great video.

His next one is even better - I'm a Patreon of his and I've already watched it.

I think you'll enjoy - talk about over-engineered!

Channels I enjoy that people here may also

Edited to add: I think all of these are well put together, in the sense that I've been watching all of them for years and haven't tired of t6he continent or how it is presented. Oddity Archive can look downright ropey at times, but I think that's intended.

Oddity Archive - especially the emergency broadcast salute, the DuMont network video. His most recent video on trying and failing to revive a Keefax (US teletext) receiver

Adrian's digital basement
Retro computers mostly

Ben Eater
Building a computer out of discrete hardware, including writing firmware, and explaining how and why it all works the way it does

LGR
Old and obscure computers, games and electronics. Also has a sweet synth setup

RMC - The Cave
British retro tech

Nostalgia Nerd
More British retro tech, and some excellent documentaries around the larger players like Sinclair and Amiga

EEVBlog
Electronics theory, teardowns, repairs, troubleshooting, crackpot idea debunking

The Signal Path
Advanced EEVBlog

Mikes Electric Stuff
Interesting teardowns / hacking stuff. The iPod Nano display vid comes to mind

AT&T Archove Channel
They publish old movies about all the old stuff AT&T / Bell Labs did, some of it quite relevant to TV, such as the development of microwave transmission systems.

That's probably enough.

Neil Jones post_id=8697 time=1619213634 user_id=961 Wrote:One of the surprise hits of 2020 YouTube (primarily thanks to lockdown) was a mass influx of Medieval music covers, taking modern day songs and recreating them as to how they might have sounded in the 13th century. The success of this depends on the song, as some work better than others in this regard. People even came along and wrote medieval style lyrics in the comments. Which probably shows how bored we all were.

Avicii tunes worked quite well:

Then on Middle Ages - the Macarena:

Honourable mention must go to medieval covers of Barbie Girl, Blinding Lights and Boulevard of Broken Dreams.

(yes there is no "presentation" as such but its something different!)

I assume you have listened to BBC Radio 4's The Castle

One that's interesting (despite me not understanding a lot of the terms) and has improved presentation wise is
8-Bit Music Theory
For example :

As well as
Twisted Translations

Which apart from being crying levels of funny. The presentation has improved dramatically over the life of the channel

That's even better than the carousel one he reviewed!

‘So what did you do today?’

‘I spent 35 minutes watching a video on YouTube of Mat/Techmoan fixing a 50 year old cassette player which has a special way of ejecting or looping cassettes for a machine that has type of mechanism I never knew existed.’

Today’s video is definitely worth your time.

Tell me to piss off, fellow Techmoan fans, if you don't want to know for the future but the new one dropped yesterday.

Very enjoyable although more straightforward video this time but there is something new with the channel presentation you might find interesting.

One for the Tom Scott fans

Mr Scott's reaction has not yet been recorded Smile
Write that down in your copybook now

Something that doesn’t happen often, Techmoan has dropped a midweek video as a bonus. This is rather good, and you might want to take your headphones out for this one...

Some of the names in this thread are also the ones I enjoyed watching - Techmoan, Tom Scott, Technology Connections etc.

Adding to the list, another favourite of mine is Captain Disillusion. Although not posting videos as often, his channel debunks viral web videos, with his expertise in visual effects.

His recent detailed explanation in the making of Flight of the Navigator is jam-packed with information, yet presented in a simple and interesting way. Especially if you're interested in visual effects and graphics, it's worth to take a look at Wink

Now on TVTalk, Pres Café and DeviantArt. Goodbye to all that, TVLF.
