Okay yes, I get the fact most people will have heard of YouTube. However, I wonder how many people are aware how much good quality and varied content it has? Now before you all start, yes, it also has more than its fair share of rubbish content. However, much of it would give mainstream telly a run for its money in terms of production values etc.
For example, the guy from Dragon's Den Steven Barlett does a podcast called Diary of a CEO. Last night I watched him interview ex footballer and pundit/presenter Chris Kamara. Found it really interesting.
What I like about it over 'ordinary telly' is the varied content. For example I watch a guy in the states who finds old vehicles and machinery, attempts to restart and refurb them. I watch another guy who train-surfs around various countries. And I watch another guy who goes around rating takeaways. Yes, sometimes mainstream telly will do a series where you think 'this is different' however it tends to be the exception not the rule, even with all the channels available to us these days.
We all have different tastes, my point is there is a WIDE variety of content on there of high quality. I think it's a pity some folk will sit of an evening and say 'ah well, nowt on telly for me tonight' not realising a world of viewing far removed from the usual telly hum drum awaits ...
