For me, I don’t browse a lot on YouTube and such, but I found StarTalk and NotJustBike channels great.
It’s impossible for me to just only select a few of them, so I have decided to select some based on a category/theme:
Podcast: Azeal. He makes VRChat podcast about ordinary individuals on any kind of topic. One of the most memorable (in a disturbing way) one was where a trans girl was literally abducted and used as a sex slave for several months. Another favorite where also a trans girl was forcibly put into a conversion camp by her parents.
Comedy: Casually Explained. He makes pretty informative introductions into subjects but done in a hilarious unique way. Another favorite one is Fitz. He has diverse and really funny friends, and they just joke around. His channel stands out in a way, that they make more edgier jokes than other channels. Also SsethTzeentach is amazing too.
Informational: HealthyGamerGG. It can be categorized as a podcast tbh, but he makes psychological videos, which are usually explained or catered to gamers. Kurzgesagt and OverSimplified are 2 great additional informational channels that I really like to listen to.
There are a bunch more channels that I love to watch, but that would make the list waaaay too long for the average viewer.
There are a ton of good content creators I follow, mostly in the edutainment field; I’ll post three of them (the first three that came up in my mind) for the YouTube and Podcast category

Podcasts:
If you are going with Not Just Bikes, the there is a whole transit YouTube community you can see. Two of my tangentally favorites are as follows: Geoff Marshall does a lot of London/UK transit videos; his channel even has the series he did where he traveled to all UK train stations. Well There’s Your Problem is a podcast with slides about engineering disasters that is also an engineering disaster itself; Episode 96 has Not Just Bikes on as a guest to discuss the travesty of bicycle design in the USA.
I also like Patrick H. Willems as a movie video essayist.
Ryan George of Pitch Meetings is great if you’re sick of the formulaic, pandering Hollywood franchise movies.
Dave Borlace has an informative, although a bit dry channel on climate change and clean technology, Just have a think - There’s a lot of unreported innovative stuff out there.
And finally, my favorite, Rollie Williams’ Climate Town - The entertainment + information value of this channel is just unmatched. The creator is a comedian and has a degree in climate science and knows his shit of both worlds.
But Pitch Meetings is formulaic now.
