Last week, I announced that we’ve hit 50,000 YouTube subscribers, and I celebrated by letting y’all submit your favorite YouTube channels in the comments, and 5 of you would win my Fundamentals & Mastering Class Bundle.

You did not disappoint.

First, I’m giving 5 Fundamentals Bundles to these 5 folks who suggested channels that already happen to be among my favorites. I just wanted to reward them for their great taste, and also to share these channels with the rest of you, dear readers:

• Alexey for suggesting Rick Beato, a really nice musician who conducts interviews with brilliant talent
• Francesco for suggesting Mentour Pilot, who recaps aircraft crashes and disasters
• HappyDBA for suggesting the Fire Department Chronicles, who uses comedy to recap real-life experiences of 911 calls
• Jeremy for suggesting Chocodogger, a dog that eats things with human hands
• Laurens Bracke for suggesting The OG Crew, a hilarious combination of game show and improv

Next, I couldn’t stop at 5 winners – I ended up picking TEN of them because there were so damn many good ones!

• Alexander for suggesting The Tim Traveller, a nerdy travel show
• Andreea Podariu for suggesting Shanbai, an artist with beautiful ASMR-style recordings of their art processes
• An Gie Cech for suggesting Sumo Food, a chronicle of the daily life of sumo wrestlers practicing and eating, which sounds bizarre, but ends up being chill background material showing a lifestyle I didn’t know existed
• Ben Belnap for suggesting Stuff Made Here, a cool inventor who doesn’t publish a lot of videos, but when he does, they’re of extremely high quality and production value
• Joe for suggesting Erik Aanderaa, who sails through vicious storms, making for amazing background video material while I work
• Joseph for suggesting Jacob Knowles, a lobster fisherman who shares behind-the-scenes stories of his work
• Richard L. Dawson for suggesting Neural Derp, a channel that builds AI remixes like Redneck Star Trek TNG – these should not be as funny as they are
• SabiBi for suggesting 40 Over Fashion, a channel with clear, simple advice for looking and feeling your best (I don’t necessarily agree with a lot of the advice, but I like the guy’s opinion and approach already)
• Shane for suggesting Nat’s What I Reckon, a one-man very not-safe-for-work Aussie cooking show
• Steve Earle for suggesting 3Dbotmaker, die cast car racing captured with absurdly high production values

Thanks again for making my work fun, for making it possible for me to do this stuff and share my work with y’all, and thanks for being such fun people to interact with. I really love my work, and I love that y’all join in.
