I like to listen to long history videos to fall asleep. But it's getting harder and harder to find something which isn't AI slop. It's fucking annoying. And then these videos also get a lot of views..

Let’s start a list of good free of AI history channels:

Told in Stone
History for Granite
History Time
Fall of Civilisations
Time Team Classics
Dan Davis Histories

Fall of Civilizations is excellent.

I've enjoyed Dan Carlin's Hardcore History, the episodes are long, well referenced and he's happy to admit others know more than him.
