Edit: I’m basically looking for new topics to explore to add to my YouTube feed/subscriptions 😁
Edit2: Great recommendations. Thank you everyone
I often have ASMR videos playing in the background while I play chill games or at work. It relaxes my mind and helps me focus
i like listening to Lily Simpson videos when i’m doing chores and such. Her videos are often fairly long (meaning i don’t need to stop what i am doing to pick another video), easy to take in without having to actually watch with my eyeballs the whole time, and of consistently high quality.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
I like watching magicians do magic tricks while I drive, and trying to spot the technique.
I’m just kidding don’t do that
Holy shit this would have been an amazing line for Micheal Scott to say
Do you like silly stuff? I usually put on the YouTube channel Drawfee. A group of artists take ridiculous prompts and draw them on the fly, and the idea usually mutates mid-drawing based on their conversations.
Might not be great as you have to be able to look up from what you’re doing to see the drawings. I’m more of a multitasker so it works for me.
drawfee mentioned! I also watch Secret Sleepover Society, their game stream

My son loves the podcast Behind the Bastards. I like animal documentaries.
It’s a fantastic podcast! But I feel like it’s kinda too good to have it in the background
Nothing.
I can only focus on 1 thing at a time and there’s already 20 of them at once at any time in my head.But I can listen to music. Although it depends on what it is. But not to worry, I can just listen to a single song on loop for hours non-stop.
Might not be up your alley, but there’s a dude called “Just Background Noise” who does various Morrowind challenge runs. It’s neat stuff, but his name is quite accurate. Makes for some great background listening.
That would be my jam. Cheers
right up my alley, thank you!
Im sold. Added - thanks.
Podcasts, currently listening to lets go to court.
Time Team on YouTube, but it’s an archeology show so you really have to like that topic.
Was about to say the same thing - just annoying it’s not all available online in the UK
I currently have a Baldur’s Gate 3 stream running in the background and she’s just doing inventory management. My brain can’t handle anything more complicated.
Northernlion/The Library of Letourneau, he plays videogames and just kinda does a stream of consciousness thing that often has nothing to do with the game itself. It’s entertaining and he has a nice voice.
+1 for NL and librarian’s cuts. Just got into him 2 months ago, super good for background stuff
I always have Lofi Girl playing quietly in the background when I’m working.
Star Trek. All of it.
MST3K, especially some of the episodes I’m most familiar with.
That’s weird because ‘In the background while you do stuff’ is Golden Corral’s new slogan
