For some reason, Sergey Minaev was on some kind of gray list for a long time, but I’ve started listening to him and I must say, he has some really cool content on YouTube. I would even say one of the best, by my standards. There’s a great series called “Personalities,” where they fascinatingly narrate the biographies of famous people. Just yesterday, I binge-listened to episodes about Margaret Thatcher, Churchill, Bunin, Gagarin, and Clinton->Lewinsky. There’s also a decent series “Simple Things” where they talk about a single thing, like perfume, fur, money, or coal. From the historical series, I enjoyed watching the story of the BCCI bank, which became famously embroiled in a major scandal involving money laundering, financing terrorism, and fraud, leading to one of the biggest banking collapses of the 20th century. The average video lasts about an hour and the content is generally optimized for listening without a screen, which is very convenient in the car. Overall, Minaev has now moved into my very white list, worthy of a recommendation on Facebook (something I rarely do).
