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

YurkshireLad ,

There are a lot of episodes on YouTube, on there official channel and on other channels. Plenty to keep me occupied for a while.

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.

Im sold. Added - thanks.

Hadriscus ,

That would be my jam. Cheers

right up my alley, thank you!

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.

Cwilliams ,

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

Yes! The Deep Web Browsing Playlist is some good background stuff but definitely has moments to check out directly.

Josh Strife Hays. Absolutely whelming 2nd monitor content.

silverblade ,

+1 for Josh, particularly the “was it good?” Series where he replays ancient titles start-to-finish while giving his thoughts about the game design.

xamirozar ,

Love his stuff a bunch. I could listen to his voice all day. Great guy. :) btw, “3rd monitor, stay humble”

I always have Lofi Girl playing quietly in the background when I’m working.

I like the free Plex channels for Antiques Roadshow and BBC.

fjordbasa ,

I believe that’s the same source as Pluto tv, if not, Pluto tv also has those channels

pelletbucket ,

we really need to set up a Discord server where people can live chat all the Pluto TV channels

Futurama. there’s an entire subreddit for Futurama sleepers and I think it’s the largest of its category

Anything from the Simon Whistlerverse, today I found out, brain blaze, casual criminalist, they’re all good to have playing in the background, especially when Simon starts ranting.

Audio books are nice. I like short story collections where each story is maybe 20 to 40 minutes long.

GlenRambo ,

Any recomendations?

Grimy ,

I’m currently going to through the BBC classics ultimate story collection. I also liked the BBC radio 4 rendition of Dorian grey. The radio ones tend to have multiple voices and some special effects. I also loved the blade trilogy by Joe Abercrombie.

If you like sci-fi, I can recommend the children of time and deepness in the sky. Vernor vinge also has a novella in audio format called fast times at Ridgemont high.

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.

TheSignPainter ,

+1 for NL and librarian’s cuts. Just got into him 2 months ago, super good for background stuff
