The name sounds a bit misleading, although the entire channel includes interviews with contemporary artists. They all have amazing insight and I always learn something new with each video. <3

It’s full of inspiring artist documentaries from their studio talking about themes in their work and process. If you need a place to start, try this one on Firelei Báez. It was my introduction into her, and I haven’t stopped thinking about it since I watched it at the beginning of December. Think I’ll do a rewatch this weekend.

Booktubers: because I love to read. They are not as numerous because I'm picky with the personalities I take recommendations from.
1. Shawn Mccomb.
2. Ana Wallace Johnson.
3. Csop.
Note: I also recommend Uncarley's videos. She started as a booktuber but pivoted into more of a commentary channel. However I love her recommendations still.
Podcasts:
1. Girl Historians: A Comedy Podcast: each season they talk about different topics. It's two seasons so far. First one was about the the sinking of the Titanic. Currently they're talking about the Salem Witch Trials.
2. NickyandCoco: they talk about people and/or brands in the entertainment industry and how they have gotten a push through the lens of marketing. It's been very educational.
3. BroskiReport: another comedy podcast I love.
4. Rebuttal Podcast: Reb Masel goes in depth about cases that the public may not know about, contributing to this true-crime podcast through her perspective as a lawyer.
Vloggers: they have a special place in my heart because this is how i learned English and it’s a method I’ve used with the other languages I’ve been learning.

Stop worrying about what jokes and references are currently the funniest and not “cringe”. Don’t give into every microtrend because capitalism praises those who continue to buy. If a trend helps you discover something you like, that’s amazing, but discover who you are rather than sloppily tying your identity to something that will be worthless in a week.
