Here are some example video essayists, I like, just so you can get an idea:

  • Jacob Geller
  • Lilly Alexandre
  • Tom Nicholas
  • Jessie Gender
  • Sebastian Lague

I am looking for deep-dive podcasts about politics, culture or tech, maybe movies. Do you know of any good podcasts to check out?

    For the tech side, maybe The Neigsendoig Cocules Show might be a good idea. I happened to know the show’s host myself (as I’ve edited for one of his YouTube channels in the past).

    Wow with that list of examples, you’re either already on Nebula or sick to death of hearing about it.

      Yes, I am in Nebula. It’s actually really good. I am only paying 30 euros per year (because oft the creator discount) and it’s a good way to support creators.

    Fall of Civilizations.

    The one on the Mongols is 6 or 7 hours long. I said, “I’ll just watch a bit and take a break”. I finished it the same day. Some episodes have had me in tears.

    For movies/film I enjoy Thomas Flight

    For fun silly science I like Joe Scott

    ‘History That Doesn’t Suck’ by Prof. Greg Jackson. It is a history of the U.S., told in a flowing narrative type format that’s easy to listen to. I like it because it counteracts my biggest peeve in the presentation of history where it is taught as discreet chunks that are seemingly disconnected. In this podcast, it follows the flow of historical figures and events as they naturally lead to new things rather than talking about each section in a vacuum.

    ‘HP Lovecraft Literary Podcast’/‘Strange Studies of Strange Stories’. A podcast with two hosts and normally a guest reader. The hosts talk about the relevant real life history of the story, as well as talking about the story itself, edited in between a reading of some or all of the story (depending on story length). It gives a good overview of the works and is tightly edited so that the host banter never rambles off topic. The podcast changed names when they ran out of HPL stories and fully branched out into other authors.
