Good Neighbor Podcast: Tulsa

Building A True Crime YouTube Channel


Listen Later

Brandon Andres Green, host of Good Neighbor Podcast Tulsa, sits down with creator Alfred Arredondo to talk about YouTube, storytelling, the algorithm, and what it takes to build a channel around curiosity, true crime, investigations, the supernatural, and the stranger corners of the internet.

The moment you start creating online, you realize you are not just making art. You are also working with a machine. Alfred shares what it has felt like to grow from a childhood dream of creating videos into a focused, adult-oriented platform with a clear identity and audience.

We talk about how he found his niche after years of experimenting, why cold cases and documentary-style storytelling keep pulling him in, and what surprises most new creators when they try to grow. Alfred gets honest about the pressure of being “a slave to the algorithm,” how that changes content strategy, and why it still matters to create something now and then that feeds your own soul.

If you are interested in YouTube growth, audience building, and avoiding creator burnout, this conversation hits the realities without draining the excitement out of the work.

We also dig into the details that make a channel memorable: a recognizable on-camera presence, a visual style inspired by late 90s and early 2000s video game graphics, and music that taps into nostalgia. Alfred shares his long-term plans for podcasting and the themes he wants to handle carefully, including mental health and culture.

He also talks about the project that matters most to him right now: a multi-part documentary he has spent roughly two years bringing to the finish line.
