This was hilarious, especially before I found out how to turn the volume on/up, although marginally more meaningful than soundless podcasts, for obvious reasons... After amazement at the number of videos of squirrels, and at the mere existence of videos of snow falling in Aberdeen, I turned my attention to 'library' videos and watched a few guides to university libraries. They were all American, and unfunnily funny to the nth degree, except that of Vassar. I'm sure with more time I could find much better ones.
On to channels: I hit on the idea of watching the video my friend David uploaded of St Giles' Fair last year; and the one of our departing church organist playing her special fair voluntary (Lefebure-Waly) - huge wave of nostalgia, I have to admit. It was good to see what else he'd uploaded - e.g. snowy Headington, and Mummers' Play.
I then switched to YouTubeEDU but there didn't seem to be as many institutions represented as I'd expected, though each had lots of videos. Had a quick look at the Open University. I'm glad to have discovered all these resources exist - and look forward to returning.
