    Tales from a Canadian from Suburbia, Ontario who moved to the Netherlands. He talks about public transit and city planning.

    They say falling into this rabbit hole is to take the “orange pill”.

    Renaissance Periodization - working out, dieting, bodybuilding and steroids.

    Dr Mike Isratel is a Dr of exercise science and doesnt chat shit. They make their money pretty transparently, and give honest to god research backed information. Lots of information that can be extracted from Beginners to Advanced and he loves a good dick joke enough for all of his content to feel fun.

    Esoterica is great. It’s mostly about gnostic side of western religious history. Dr. Justin Sledge is doing awesome research on the relevant topics. I’m watching that to know more about to put religion in a historical context.

    I have many faves, but for this list I offer Science Fiction With Damien Walter and Merlin.

    Damien is an English writer living in Bali and talking to himself and us about scifi writers and philosophies. He has…a delivery style.

    Merlin is relatively new; a mesmerizing voice and afro discussing literature and philosophy.

    SEIDS is awesome if you’re a Logic Pro user. She knows ALL the tips and tricks

    Tale Foundry is great commentary on literature and culture given by a robot with a very milquetoast delivery
