As a huge fan and patron of 3blue1brown's videos, does anyone have recommendations for similar high-quality channels covering other topics? Personally I'm interested in at least:

* History/biographies

* Sciences (physics, chem, astronomy)

* In-depth nonpartisan analysis of political situations, especially current ones. The breaking news cycle does a poor job parsing out useless or incorrect information.

* How we've managed to create the insanely complex technology we have today, starting at the basics

Applied science. He doesn't cover things in documentary style, but recreates quite a lot of interesting science that one would assume is beyond the level of garage science, and does an excellent job explaining all the concepts.

For Chemistry, I enjoy Periodic Videos [1]

For the history of interesting objects at the Royal Society (and other occasional places), see Objectivity [2]

Geopolitics: the Caspian Report is really interesting and if I remember correctly some Wikileaks documents link in to Stratfor. Interesting combination of "amateur" presenter and private intelligence agency pretending not to push a certain worldview.

Dan Carlin's hardcore history and common sense podcasts are worth checking out.
