Angela Collier completes a nice Venn diagram of (making me feel like I’m) learning stuff, righteous anger, and being a person with a face who isn’t some new media production studio
Really appreciate her work - the educational stuff is good at putting things into a context and giving laypeople some mental coathooks to hang things off of, and I like how she emphasizes the video explainer format is a provider of jumping off points more than a source of real understanding.
Her discussion of media and news is maybe not as relevant here but still pretty on point in my experience.

I remember being surprised how much I enjoyed her video about Star Trek: Picard, given that it was a multiple hour long rant video — it’s amazing how much difference it makes for someone to be engaging in good faith criticism
Not one I’ve watched yet, but there definitely is some magic to listening to someone talking about something they really care about, if you connect with them as a communicator.
Like, I don’t have any relationship to Disney’s Buzzy animatronic myself, but I’ve rewatched Jenny Nicholson ranting about it more than once because it’s fun. Captain Disillusion talking about the effects work that inspired him also feels kinda similar.
