I think the main problem with Peruns' videos are that they are videos. I run a little program on my home-lab that turns them into podcasts and I find that I enjoy them far more because I need to be less engaged with a podcast to still find them enjoyable. (Also, I gave up on being up to date with Ukraine situation, since up to date information is almost always wrong. I am happy to be a week or a 14 days behind if the information I am getting is less wrong).

I like Hardcore history very much, but I think it would be far worse in a video form.

Just turn off the screen with youtube video playing and there's no difference from a podcast?

I listen to Perun at the gym every week, audio only.

Perun is peak podcast-like YouTube. In the gym, I just keep my screen on to share my YouTube tastes with the world and sometimes peak at some visuals

That's a paid service that some people balk at.

PipePipe on Android does it for free. (Or New pipe or some other *Pipe players)

AFAIK, it's only a paid feature to play video in the background.

It doesn't have to be paid, YouTube on the mobile browser can do it for free.

I’d also like a podcast. I usually walk around with the video in my pocket to be honest. Audio is 80% of the value in his case.
