Favorite YouTube Channels: The Sociology Edition

I love YouTube.  I learn so many things watching people's videos (we've saved a ton of money on household and car repairs by simply watching how-to videos on YouTube), of course there are the random time-suck videos and the doom scrolling videos, but my favorite kind of videos are sociology-related.  These are the kind of videos that give you a glimpse into people's lives that are way different than the average person's everyday life.  Here are some of my favorites:

  • Soft White Underbelly.  The host interviews all kinds of people on his channel.  The homeless, sex workers, drug addicts, mafia hitmen...pretty much anyone who lives on the fringes of society.
  • Special Books By Special Kids.  The host interviews disabled kids and adults to learn what it is like to have special needs/take care of a kid with special needs.  His interview style is so sweet and kind!
  • Matt Cullin.  Matt interviews people in the LGBT community in such a kind and compassionate way.
  • The Epoch of Friar Tuck.  The host gives a lot of good insight into living a homeless lifestyle.
  • Kirsten Dirksen:  Kirsten interviews people who live in unconventional ways and in unconventional places.  The people she interviews are sooo fascinating!
  • Exploring Alternatives: Ditto
  • Peter Santenello:  Peter goes all over the world interviewing people of all kinds--gang members, Native Americans who live on reservations, people who live in isolated corners of the world, etc.
  • Max Fosh:  This guy does crazy stuff that the average person wouldn't dare try.  He's hilarious!
  • Midwest Magic Cleaning:  The host cleans hoarder houses...for free.  His videos are park eeekkk and part wow!
