-Oki's Weird Stories, mostly bringing light to unknown stories, very high quality and well-researched. rec: "The Deadly Basement of a 4chan Doomer" + "How I Infiltrated a Bizarre Conspiracy Cult"
-Leeja Miller, political video essays from the perspective of a female, queer lawyer. rec: "The US Is Ugly. THIS is Why." + "Why Are Americans So Obsessed With Communism??"
-The Right Opinion, mostly deep dives on different pop culture topics, but his trilogy on Onision really does feel like a true crime doc. rec: His Onision series + "The Never-Ending Nightmare Of Nikocado Avocado"
-Wendigoon, does a lot of horror deep dives, sometimes its about fictional media like ARG's but he also does a lot of deep dives into real life crimes. rec: "The Most Disturbing Cult of All Time: The Ant Hill Kids" + "The Story & Footage of LA's Most Infamous Heist Gone Wrong" + "The Cult, Standoff, & Conspiracy of Waco"
-j aubrey, similar to The Right Opinion, but he does do more content on real-world stuff. rec: His Epstein trilogy + "The Depraved World of the Duggers | A Biblical Scandal"
-DonnaIRL, pop culture deep dives with a more psychological perspective (im pretty sure she's a psychologist). rec: "The Cult of David Dobrik: How to Keep a Group Obedient"
-Coffeehouse Crime, i used to really like true crime youtube, but after watching Pinely's video ("The Broken Morality Of True Crime Videos") i became disillusioned with the space. coffeehouse crime is the only channel i feel does it right and respects the victims. rec: "The Tinder Date Murdered By A Cult | The Case of Sydney Loofe"

1. BRENDAWARENESS: really cool and good for the fashion girlies. it is a smaller podcast channel by "Hashtag Brenda", she is big in fashion (she literally spent her birthday with Rick Owens). I call her my digital big sister.

2. COLORLESS WONDERLAND: kinda booktube but for not horny people. he used to be a middle school teacher and he has very cool takes and analysis. he hasn't posted actively in a while but he's just overall really good vibes.

3. PROFOUND PONDERING: this random guy who speaks very candidly about his mental health and is quite relaxing to listen to.
https://www.youtube.com/@profoundpondering8575
4. WENDIGOON: does deep research on some really cool topics; everything from the bible to analogue horror, to chris mc candless. he is just really interesting to listen to, nd is def for the hyperfixation community

5. FRANK WATKINSON: an old man who does very cute covers of songs which make me cry everytime. he also has original songs. he's been on youtube for like 10 years at least and loves sufjan stevens.

6. KERWIN FROST: this may be a bit rogue but he was my fav person when i was like 13 in 2018 and was like super into tyler the creator. Kerwin is a really cool DJ and his interviews are so fun to watch. he doesn't post much now but he has done interviews with young lean and dev hynes which rlly impacted me when i was younger and revisit from time to time

7. MYTHICAL KITCHEN (LAST MEAL): might just be my favourite series on the internet everrrr. a very talented chef called Josh hosts celebrity guests and chefs make their "death row meal". they've had guests like Karamo from queer eye, steve-o and tom hanks.

8. BOOK CLUB RADIO: a dj collective in brooklyn, insane sets (personal favs: dj nico and varist)
https://www.youtube.com/@bookclubradio
9. ARCHITECTUAL DIGEST (OPEN DOOR + SPACE SAVERS): i love looking at rich peoples houses, so cool. open house is a series where they go to celebrity houses, obvs so fun to watch. space savers is a series where 3 different architects get given a space and they get to draft whatever they want, the results are so cool! (darren jett is so cool)
