Some Podcasts and YouTube Channels I like
So on the weekends I listen/watch podcasts/channels that I like. Sort of as a way to wind-down form a long week and to play some catch-up. Thought I'd list some of the ones I listen/watch regularly for anyone who is bored or has some free time.
I've provided a small description to each (some are taken directly from the podcast's/channel's description). Each link will take you to their official website or wherever they prefer to put their work.
A lot of these podcasts/channels reflect my interests. They may not jive with you and that's a-okay.
In no order, some podcasts:
- Behind the Bastards; Looks at some of the bastards in history
- The Fire These Times; A group of diverse scholars, activists, and writers from the periphery that seek to uplift international struggles and dialogues
- Lingthusiasm; A fun, easily-digestible podcast about linguistics
- Popular Front; A podcast that focuses on the niche details of modern warfare and under-reported conflict
- Audible Anarchism; Audiobooks/readings of various anarchist texts new and old
- Everyday Anarchism; A podcast that looks at how anarchism already fits into our everyday lives
- Philosophize This!; Educational podcast about philosophy where you don't need to be a graduate-level philosopher to understand it
- Unexplainable; Science podcast from Vox that looks at scientific mysteries
In no order, some channels:

- Origami with Jo Nakashima; Learn how to fold origami! Has a playlist for beginner-friendly, easy origami
- Popular Font; Documentaries about conflict with a nitty-gritty, on-the-ground, and in-your-face style (from the same team as the above podcast with the same name)
