I recently had a chat with Dan Larson, half of the duo that makes up the YouTube channel Secret Galaxy.  Their videos are pop-culture documentaries, many of which draw you in with their nostalgia factor and keep you watching with their quality.  That last sentence kinda feels like a cheesy 80's ad, but I really think it's the best way to describe many of their videos - Listen to the podcast and check out their videos to see for yourself!
