Shit, I could use a donut now...

Me neither.  What's the point of adding something that makes your teeth hurt when biting into it?

You might want to see a dentist about that pain

For those who enjoyed "Sunderland Til I Die", here is the 'prequel'.

I love it of course as that is my team and my era of going to the match every weekend.
Though I think its quite interesting even apart from that due to the era in which it is set, 1997, being in that bridge between the old world of working class football and the multi billion industry of today, especially in teams like Sunderland.

The Cold War one is cool, it's from the Kings and Generals team, following the style of the Indy Neidell ones on the Great War and WWII.

Vinheteiro is pretty funny when he does weird stuff on the piano.

Anyone watching WWII? I kind of burned out on it after the Great War ended.

I think I may have plugged the channel before, but I really enjoy Military History Visualized:

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCK09g6gYGMvU-0x1VCF1hgA/videos

Done by an Austrian historian, mostly covers WW2 topics, basic tactics, etc.

the Indy Neidell ones on the Great War and WWII.

I am. It is pretty good so far but the war is still kind of limited so I don't know if it will hold up as well when the war gets really enormous. While he touches a lot on the Sino-Japanese War it is a bit weird since we enter it 2 years in so how we got to the massive stalement we find ourselves in in 1939 is not really adequately explained, though he did have an episode about that in the Between Two Wars series.

The pre-war years are done in a different show, I think. I've definitely seen his videos on the time period.

Yeah the Between Two Wars show. Yes we got one episode on it but not the week by week treatment. How and why the battle lines got frozen where they were in September 1939 is only vaguely explained.

The WWII show does really hit home how bloody and futile and just generally demoralizing the endless meatgrinder in China was to both sides though.

Well, it's the eternal debate about when did WWII start exactly, and being a western-centric product, it puts the start in 1939, rather than 1937.

One channel I've come to enjoy is  "Mr. Terry History", in which a history teacher reacts to YouTube history videos.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCbJSm-pLHjna1JW9X31N8g

Now, his comments are usually not too insightful, and you can usually tell which areas he's not very familiar with, but I found the channel an excellent way to discover other YouTube history channels.

Atun-Shei is one of many history channels out there. He has some Civil War content, and he has a dedicated playlist where he reacts to some of the comments that try to explain that the South wasn't fighting for slavery etc.

"Checkmate, Lincolnites!"
