Off the clock

Not governance, not AI. The channels and songs I actually watch and listen to, and why. Curiosity does not clock out either.

On YouTube

The channels I keep coming back to, grouped by the itch they scratch.

Music and craft
Drumeo↗
Where drummers go to get better, and to watch the greats sit in.
El Estepario Siberiano↗
A drummer who makes the impossible look casual.
The Charismatic Voice↗
A vocal coach breaking down what great singers actually do.
Walk Off the Earth↗
Five people, one guitar, endlessly inventive covers.
Pentatonix↗
A cappella that makes you forget there are no instruments.
Knox Hill↗
Technical rap with something to prove.
Food and cooking
Mythical Kitchen↗
Ambitious, absurd cooking with a straight face.
First We Feast↗
Home of Hot Ones. The best interviews happen over hot sauce.
Sorted Food↗
A crew of friends and chefs turning cooking into a game.
Jolly↗
Two friends, British and Korean, eating their way across the difference.
Language and culture
Xiaomanyc↗
A New Yorker who speaks your language better than you would expect.
Korean Englishman↗
Introducing the world to Korea, one reaction at a time.
History and genealogy
Weird History↗
The history they skipped, told with a grin.
Ancestry↗
Family history, and the tools to chase your own.
Who Do You Think You Are↗
Genealogy as detective work. Every family tree hides a story.
Fantasy and lore
Nerd of the Rings↗
Middle-earth history explained like it is real.
Men of the West↗
Tolkien deep lore for the Middle-earth obsessed.
The Broken Sword↗
Myth, swords, and the stories under the stories.
Realms Unravelled↗
Fantasy worlds and the books behind them, unravelled.
Harry Potter Theory↗
The corners and theories of the wizarding world.
Ideas, comedy, and the rest
StarTalk↗
Neil deGrasse Tyson. Science with a comedian's timing.
Fluffy Guy↗
Gabriel Iglesias. Comfort-food stand-up.
React↗
Generations reacting to each other's worlds.
Devon Rodriguez↗
The subway portrait artist. Strangers, drawn and handed their own face.
Dead Sprint Radio↗
Henderson's own, and where I sat down for Hello Henderson.
In my headphones

A running mix, heavy on remixes, mashups, and whatever is stuck in my head. The whole thing lives in one playlist.
