my favorite two are blancolirio https://www.youtube.com/@blancolirio/videos

and Pilot Debrief https://www.youtube.com/@pilot-debrief/videos

both are experienced, detailed, serious, sober minded

If you start out with those two channels but also pay attention to youtube's suggestions for related videos, you'll get a good selection.

I'm surprised MentourPilot hasn't been mentioned yet. https://www.youtube.com/@MentourPilot

I also found this video on CFIT in General Aviation to be quite compelling https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PBUVMCbmFQ

MentourPilot doesn’t do timely deep-dives into specific events. Blancolirio and Pilot Debrief are basically general aviation news channels. MentourPilot covers generic (commercial) aviation concepts.

All of the videos I have been watching from MentourPilot are about specific events/crashes.

MentourPilot does good documentaries on historical crashes, but not so much breaking aviation news, i.e. covering small private plane crashes the day or week they happen. I definitely recommend all of the above

You might be confusing his two channels, "Mentour Pilot" and "Mentour Now!".

I don’t see any reporting on current aviation incidents on the Mentour Pilot channel. It’s all historical and has a commercial focus.

I'll add this channel:

I like his tone and he's technical like blancolirio.
