Which British bloggers do I recommend watching on YouTube, and which content do I watch myself?
1. Unsolicited Advice.
Joe Folley is probably the only philosopher on my list who graduated from philosophy at Cambridge.
His Unsolicited Advice is a blog with a catchy title that perfectly reflects the philosopher's role in society.
In an amicable way, every philosopher's channel should have such a name.

2. Alex O’Conor - Cosmic sceptic
He is a graduate of the Oxford Faculty of Theology and a blogger covering a wide range of topics.:
from science and skepticism to the history of religion and philosophy.
He also has a lot of high-quality and interesting interviews.

3. UnHeard is a channel about the socio-political problems of Britain with a first-class presenter and a high level of journalism.
Freddie Sayers presenter - graduated from English and English Literature at Oxford.

4. The Cultural Tutor
Sheehan Quirke became popular and worked his way up from a McDonald's employee to a popular cultural tutor.

6. Benjamin McEvoy
He graduated from Oxford with a degree in English literature.
His videos helped me a lot at the time.
improve English and understand English literature on a deeper level.
So the channel definitely deserves attention.

7. Mary Beard
A historian from Cambridge, after whose lectures I began to think about the Roman Empire more often.
And she also pays a lot of attention to women in history.
All these bloggers are a great example of how a humanitarian can develop his intellectual career and monetize his talents, be useful to other people and society.
And of course, these channels are a great resource for learning Advanced and Academic English.
So, which interesting people from Oxford and England can I subscribe to?
8. Kaelyn Grace Apple
The girl is a historian from Yale who is writing a dissertation on history at Oxford.
She studies the laws of the transatlantic slave trade, and blogs about her studies and academic career.

9. Ruby Grainger
Philology from Oxford with a very sincere and warm blog about books, literature and romanticizing your life.
If Hermione were a real person, she would be Ruby Granger.

10. Tom Crawford
If the word "millennial" were a person, it would be Tom Crawford.
Strip down to your underpants, explain math through Pokemon and cooking food…
There is a naked mathematician at Oxford, but where is the witch professor?
I think I still have some ideas about what I can do here in the future.
11. Dakota Warren
A writer and book enthusiast from Australia, living in England.
She has a very unusual style, vibe, and you can find a lot of interesting things about books and literature in her videos.

12. Honor Cargil-Martin
A historian of antiquity from Cambridge.
13. Tristan and The Classics
A wonderful channel about literature.
I often look at this channel, I like the presentation and themes.
I highly recommend it to everyone!

I recommend a selection of Oxford Notes in the blog for those who are interested in England.
I've been thoroughly hooked on books and materials on evolutionary biology and psychology, ethology, and neurophysiology, and I don't know how to stop.
Dawkins, Sapolsky, Lorenz, Chopra, Harari, Pinker, Peterson... I listen to lectures by Dubynin (I went to his special course at the Moscow State University Faculty of Biology) and Drobyshevsky.
To be honest, I haven't read fiction for 5 years (but I don't feel like it either), only popular science: biology, genetics, neurology, all kinds of naturalistic topics…
All this intellectual vinaigrette in my head is also accompanied by reading historical blogs about comparing the crisis of the Roman Republic and the transition to empire and the United States now, the Civil War in the States, as well as books about feminism.
Something like that…

And some more facts about England:
A video on how to read and understand ancient tragedies from an Oxford graduate in English and English literature.
Everything is here:
Homer, ancient Greek religious fertility rituals, Nietzsche, theater, psychology, Shakespeare.
Historically, religious rituals have played an important role as a psychodrama and have been an effective way to release emotions, maintain mental health, and strengthen society.
Later, this function was performed by theater and drama.
