Edit: I’m basically looking for new topics to explore to add to my YouTube feed/subscriptions 😁
Edit2: Great recommendations. Thank you everyone
I always have Lofi Girl playing quietly in the background when I’m working.
Valeur sûre
LabPadre’s 24/7 stream of SpaceX in Boca Chica. Sometimes watching concrete dry or debris removal is just what I need to take a step back.
Audio books are nice. I like short story collections where each story is maybe 20 to 40 minutes long.
Any recomendations?
I’m currently going to through the BBC classics ultimate story collection. I also liked the BBC radio 4 rendition of Dorian grey. The radio ones tend to have multiple voices and some special effects. I also loved the blade trilogy by Joe Abercrombie.
If you like sci-fi, I can recommend the children of time and deepness in the sky. Vernor vinge also has a novella in audio format called fast times at Ridgemont high.
My son loves the podcast Behind the Bastards. I like animal documentaries.
It’s a fantastic podcast! But I feel like it’s kinda too good to have it in the background
I like the free Plex channels for Antiques Roadshow and BBC.
I believe that’s the same source as Pluto tv, if not, Pluto tv also has those channels
we really need to set up a Discord server where people can live chat all the Pluto TV channels
Star Trek. All of it.
i like listening to Lily Simpson videos when i’m doing chores and such. Her videos are often fairly long (meaning i don’t need to stop what i am doing to pick another video), easy to take in without having to actually watch with my eyeballs the whole time, and of consistently high quality.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
STLN DRMS and Seven Beats Music on youtube. Or Soma FM’s groove salad stream.
Do you like silly stuff? I usually put on the YouTube channel Drawfee. A group of artists take ridiculous prompts and draw them on the fly, and the idea usually mutates mid-drawing based on their conversations.
Might not be great as you have to be able to look up from what you’re doing to see the drawings. I’m more of a multitasker so it works for me.
drawfee mentioned! I also watch Secret Sleepover Society, their game stream
Futurama. there’s an entire subreddit for Futurama sleepers and I think it’s the largest of its category
Northernlion/The Library of Letourneau, he plays videogames and just kinda does a stream of consciousness thing that often has nothing to do with the game itself. It’s entertaining and he has a nice voice.
+1 for NL and librarian’s cuts. Just got into him 2 months ago, super good for background stuff
If you’re okay with a range from mildly interesting to moderately disturbing, I like Nightmare Expo (Nexpo) on youtube
Nothing.
I can only focus on 1 thing at a time and there’s already 20 of them at once at any time in my head.But I can listen to music. Although it depends on what it is. But not to worry, I can just listen to a single song on loop for hours non-stop.
I currently have a Baldur’s Gate 3 stream running in the background and she’s just doing inventory management. My brain can’t handle anything more complicated.
Anything from the Simon Whistlerverse, today I found out, brain blaze, casual criminalist, they’re all good to have playing in the background, especially when Simon starts ranting.
