Edit: I’m basically looking for new topics to explore to add to my YouTube feed/subscriptions 😁
Edit2: Great recommendations. Thank you everyone
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.
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
Michael the Magic
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
Im sold. Added - thanks.
right up my alley, thank you!
I always have Lofi Girl playing quietly in the background when I’m working.
Valeur sûre
I like the free Plex channels for Antiques Roadshow and BBC.
I believe that’s the same source as Pluto tv, if not, Pluto tv also has those channels
we really need to set up a Discord server where people can live chat all the Pluto TV channels
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 like listening to a number of things, but watching things just slows me down.
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
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
Lately I’ve been going through my favorite artists and listening to their music in chronological order.
I hate the “pick something to listen to” phase of music listening, full albums let’s me control what im listening to while not needing me to maintain it.
Trackmania gameplay. It’s an arcade racing game, purely skill based, no story to follow. Players will play the same track multiple times until they get a good time, that way you don’t miss anything important if you look away for a while. Probably not gonna work for you if you’re not into the game though.
Yes! TrackMania footage is so satisfying. Wirtual’s documentaries on the game are also great
trackmania has that in common with basically all speedrunning streams/content. super nice to have in the background since it can be repetitive and you can pay attention if they get a good run going :)
and there are people who speedrun probably every game you’ve ever enjoyed, so there is plenty of options!
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
Star Trek. All of it.
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
There are a lot of episodes on YouTube, on there official channel and on other channels. Plenty to keep me occupied for a while.
