I bet he doesn't need his name up in lights. He just wants to be heard, whether it's the beat or the mike.

Oh very true, I forgot about it. It's definitely very related to philosophy & mythology a lot. I personally never been so interested with that aspect hence I forgot. But it does pique my interest quite often enough when watching such videos. I often noticed even much later religious communities developed their philosophy based on more ancient philosophy foundation, which neoplatonism is one of such idea that I hear a lot. And so about how a lot of abrahamic religion are adopting/build their system based on or against various ancient mesopotamian myths, culture, and systems.

But I personally have been more interested to the history & evolvement aspect of things, like how the Bible differs in various times in different locations. How early Christian & Muslim had their sort of "figuring out" eras during their early times respectively. Or how does Judaism evolved from Canaanite theology, from a pantheon to henotheism, to eventually become monotheism.

This also overlaps to linguistic as well sometimes, used for example to describe various Indo-European gods appear in various culture are related linguistically. Although, I don't really follow any linguistic channels since they really are (well, obviously) about linguistic, not religious studies or history focused.

I might be in a niche. Here's my fav, Religion for Breakfast, Let's Talk Religion, Esoterica, Al-Muqaddimah, Tablets and Temples, Useful Charts. Not religious but I like Religious Studies because it's overlaps to history.

In addition, the Crash Course series to Religious Studies by PBS is also very good.

Also few history channel, Dan Davis History, A Historian's Craft, Kings and Generals
