For history, I really like Premodernist. It's just a history professor telling you history. It's great because he's a good storyteller and he actually knows the subject.

I enjoy efap which is probably the longest form, especially Mauler, the others are generally better in a mixed crowd. It's movies and Internet drama for the most part.

I personally enjoy these but not sure if its what your looking for
The outdoor boys - goes solo camping and sometimes brings his kids along, family trips abroad, and also creating a homestead.
Westinchamplin - modifies cars and trucks for red neck science.
Paolo from tokyo - interesting takes on the life of japan series was the best. Shows all different types of jobs from japan
I have been a fan of Kraut for a long time. He makes video essays on a lot of historical and political topics. He has made two massive three part series that total to nearly four hours about the histories of Mexico and Turkey. He makes some short form as well, like a point about american healthcare that americans don't realize.
Storytelling about Celtic, Gaelic, and Norse mythology, history, and lore.

I'm sure I have a bunch but two I haven't seen here:
OrdinaryThings - has shifted to MUCH longer form current-events / documentarian content. Humorous and pundit-y but also informative about world news I likely missed. His yearly "The ___ Business of 20__" videos are great recaps.
Harke - Found this channel basically by accident and fell in love with it. Admittedly pretty niche about a VERY specific kind of retro, but it's stuff I grew up with so I'm all about it. Retro adventure games and music and that kind of thing. Super underrated!
Hoovies Garage for some car comedy. The guy buys dump cars that need repairs and he let the local mechanic fix them. He makes dumb choices for entertainment.
Not as long form as they usually max out around an hour. Good enough for walking dogs.
New Rock Stars.
Dark Net Diaries.
Star Talk.
Beyond Trust has a podcost interviewing tech people.
"Mr. Beat" (no S) is a nice little US history class, but there are TONS of streamers just starting out with no viewers who could really use your support.
Big recommendation for Nebula. It's dirt cheap and has all this type of content ad-free, downloadable, play in background, etc
One name I have yet to see here is We Are Not Alive (Formerly Diregentlmen), group of professional writers who talk about writing, media, and tropes. Check them out.
Bill simmons podcast. Mainly sports but a lot of just in general topics too. Famous guests athletes and not.
Vice grip garage.
