For non road channels, I like RealLifeLore and Wendover Productions.

Backroadswest1 is a good one where this group does tours of what they see as underrated places.






Takumi

Zebra Corner, a TV commercial parody channel. Very NSFW.

Australian F1 podcast The Reserve Drivers, who are criminally undersupported.

Australian F1 photographer Kym Illman, who often shows a different side of the sport.

Also some other F1-related channels, and a few car and ASMR channels along with some music ones that few if any of you would be interested in.

Olive Garden must be stopped.  I must stop them.

Don't @ me. Seriously.

I've been watching a lot of Business Blaze and Company Man as of late.

Another one I like. Bad driver compilations are ripe on YouTube, but my favorite one is Bad Drivers of Italy, not because of how bad drivers are there (you'll be surprised at the amount of clips from Northern Italy), but because I eagerly await for any instance of porco Dio ("God is a pig", saying that is a strong taboo on media) or similar being barked out. There were several compilations where the barking appeared right after the start.
Supporter of the construction of several running gags, including I-366 with a speed limit of 85 mph (137 km/h) and the Hypotenuse.

Please note that I may mention "invalid" FM channels, i.e. ending in an even number or down to 87.5. These are valid in Europe.

Have you ever been to Barking, London?

I personally like Cinemasins a lot. Some videos are better than others, but he's a film buff like me.
Teenage STL area roadgeek.
Missouri>>>>>Illinois

Desert Man

GeographyNow hosted by Paul Barbato, a weekly series on the world's nations, in alphabetical order (currently on "S" and the last segment was on Singapore).

Wolter's World hosted by Mark Wolters, is a travel channel dedicated to his trips with his family worldwide and his special tips for travelers.

And TheAs57 is about world current events and astrology, I have 101 subscriptions on my YT account, and I narrowed it down to just 3 recommendations for you all to check out.
Get your kicks...on Route 99! Like to turn 66 upside down. The other historic Main street of America.

I like the Detail Geek and Ammo NYC cool car cleaning channels.

Ammo NYC for cars.

One channel that I consistently come back to for content is The 8-Bit Guy. He focuses on retro computers, tech, games, and oddball items mostly from the 1980s. David's been on YouTube for many, many years, and he's very ambitious with his projects. He has a lot of variety in his videos, which I like. It could be anything including restorations, game development, electric cars, history documentaries, and more. He's even building out a new studio building in his backyard!

Some videos I'd recommend:






:) Needs more... :sombrero: Not quite... :bigass: Perfect.
JDOT: We make the world a better place to drive.

I just found my new favorite channel.  :popcorn:  Brings back lots of fun memories!

You're welcome.  :bigass:
Runnin' roads and polishin' rails.

Jessica Kent who talks about what it was like to be in prison, and she's nice to look at too.

Like it or not, Freewayjim is the best in the business. There's a level of detail and flow in his videos that nobody else that I've seen can match. My favorite video of his is 16-37 (I-17 south from Flagstaff to Phoenix). The only area where he falls short is his unwillingness to make videos about mid-sized cities, but I can forgive him because almost all of his new vids each year come from a single long trip, so time is obviously a factor.

Another channel that I love is GeoWizard. His most popular series is his Mission Across Wales, which is exactly what it sounds like: he tried to walk across Wales in a straight line. I also enjoy his Geoguessr videos. Partly because he's really good at the game overall, and partly because he isn't that good with the United States, so it's fun to be able to figure it out before he does when he gets put here.

Alternate History Hub is a favorite of mine.  If you like history and some humor mixed in, this is the place!

US 101 is THE backbone of the Pacific coast from Bandon OR to Willits CA.  Industry, tourism and local traffic would be gone or severely crippled without it being in functioning condition in BOTH states.

I love him too. Did you see he did a straight line mission across Norway this past year? That was possibly the best trio of Youtube videos I've watched.

I don't subscribe to a lot of non-road related channels, but I do like Virtual Railfan (I like their Waupaca, WI CN cams), Today I Found Out, Sideprojects, Geographics (those three are done by the same very interesting guy) and a couple of both scary and sad channels about the potential future of Western Civilization - Better Bachelor and Strong Successful Male (both are 'red pill' city about the current situation regarding interpersonal relations).  I'm also subscribed to several alt news channels.

I see a lot of channels I watch, but have noticed a distinct lack of one particular channel: RoadGuyBob. Surprised no one has mentioned him yet.

If you like learning about stuff, check out Tom Scott, and SmarterEvryDay, two great channels to learn stuff.

For cool videos of random stuff, check out Daily Dose of Internet, he uploads pretty often, just short compilations of cool videos.

If you like to listen to stuff, and not necessarily wach videos, than there are plenty of channels now that read content from Reddit. 

I am also a big fan of roller coasters, so I watch some channels that talk about that industry, and even use computer software to make epic roller coasters that look real.

The most obscure channel I watch is probably a channel called TheBigA, who drives around parking garages. Why? I don't know, but I think parking garages are neat.

I used to watch a lot of channels about analog cameras, but I can't afford any of the stuff they show, so I stopped watching them as much because Gear Acquisition Syndrome is a thing.

And lastly, I also find space stuff fascinating. Lots of cool channels about space, rockets, and all that fun stuff, like Scott Manley, and the Everyday Astronaut. With all that SpaceX is doing, there's a lot of cool stuff getting uploaded.
I build roads on Minecraft. Like, really good roads.

I subscribe to a few, some of my favorites.

Stoned Gremlin Productions (aka The Cinema Snob): a lot of different series, but overall hilarious reviews of bad movies.

Angry Video Game Nerd: James Rolfe plays and reviews awful video games.

Homemade Wanderlust: a super cute girl documents her long haul (like Pacifuc Crest Trail) hikes

Oof, it looks like I forgot about Good Mythical Morning. My sister is a fan. She lets us watch it with her.

That's awesome! I got to meet him at the Portland Retro Gaming Convention a few years back. Nice guy.
