Johnny Harris

But what makes you stand out versus the

others? I always looked to channels like Johnny Harris or Cleo Abram and how they made it really entertaining to learn something.

And you didn't really feel like you were learning something while you were watching it.

But by the time you walked away, you had enough ammunition in your brain to where you could sit down at a dinner table and be like, Hey, I learned this really cool thing today.

Yeah, for sure.

It's probably more about what Johnny Harris wants than what the fans want.

[laughs] That's exactly right.

But, uh, no, this is, this is an outstanding program.

He's dope.

Someone in the chat called him Neil Patrick Johnny Harris.

Come on, man.

He's cool.

I collect a lot of maps.

I asked my friend and fellow video journalist, Johnny Harris, to go find these old ocean maps so we could really see the progress that we've made Hey.

Hey.

Listen, I have a favor to ask.

So if you believe that there should be more optimistic science and tech stories, subscribe to support our show.

And if surviving an asteroid wasn't enough, go watch me and Mark Rober and Johnny Harris survive an escape from Alcatraz in Mark's new video.

Huge If True.

[upbeat music]

I'm going to reference a video that I found online.

It's by a guy named Johnny Harris, and it's called How the US Ruined Bread.

You can look this up.

Pretty interesting watch.

[laughs] I saw a pig and thought, "I'm gonna set up a supermarket."

[laughs] Uh, so I watched a really good little documentary made by, um, the kind of YouTubers and researchers John Green and Johnny Harris.

Apparently, when he was describing the naming process, he said, uh, the name came from out of chaos and in direct contact with an individual's mind.

What does that mean?

You need to have content that's, uh, resonates with an audience.

It can be very niche but still be huge, like Johnny Harris or some of these other news creators out there.

Aaron Parness, a young guy, has a, a interesting following on Instagram, TikTok, X, and whatever else.

Today, the antenna, and I, and I said in my column, it's gonna be probably less in the future about television and more about local news.

So vote, I guess that's one of our solutions.

But even still, dude, there is a really good video from like Johnny Harris that like talked about like modern oligarchy.

And, oh man, that like just like added to just kind of like, man, it doesn't feel like, I know, like it doesn't feel like voting even helps because there's so much organizations that are like white labeled or like secretly white.

to like put so much money into like lobbying.

... story here, because I think YouTube really has found a way for individuals to build businesses on top of it at a really imp- in a really impressive way.

Occasional news creators like Johnny Harris, but almost the exception that proves the rule.

But a lot of, you know, we just had Karim Rama on our show, like, they, bui- building real businesses, real careers on top of YouTube, paying producers, increasing the kind of moving up market.

I guess the thing that I give Neal Mohan, the YouTube CEO, a hard time about, is I do think YouTube, almost with the idea of the creator and the development of the word creator, built a system in which media companies, middlemen, can't really survive.
