Hello! I watch a lot of YouTube of the format "person with a special interest talks enthusiastically about their special interest".
I've channels for civil engineering, blade sharpening, mortality, fire ignition, knot tying, urban planning, neolithic tech, and more.
However, most of these channels are hosted by men. I would like to fix this!
Have you a favourite YouTube channel that focuses on knowledge transfer, that's not hosted by a man? Please leave a link in the comments below. Thanks!
@jf @irina @petrillic Do you mean

If you've not come across it, I highly recommend Nebula over YouTube, especially for creators doing knowledge transfer.

@pjf oh and I forgot Tibees:
Kiwi who enthuses on physics, maths, astronomy and science history and also starred in a season of Jet Lag: The Game https://youtube.com/@jetlagthegame
...which doesn't really meet your criteria at all, although there is a key female creative, mostly off camera but I've shared because that show is a light and fun source of joy.

Jenny from the shop showed me how to replace my whippersnipper line. Turns out it's really easy, but no one else ever showed me so well. Clear, concise, and completely correct. Unlike others I'd tried.
