Educational YouTube Channels
I spend a lot of time on YouTube watching what I call “educational channels” on topics ranging from science to geopolitics to philosophy. I started off with most of the “big names” like VSauce, CGPGrey, and CrashCourse, but over the years I’ve amassed quite a collection of channels including a lot of smaller, but equally awesome content producers. I often have friends ask me to recommend them some channels, so I’ve went ahead and created this page to organize my educational subscriptions by topic.
Happy Viewing!
