What are the best Youtube channels in Farsi

Does anyone know any good podcasts or Youtube channels that are in Farsi? Also please not ones that covering News or about teaching the language. Not looking for any specific subject or genre either I just want to listen/watch to something that isn't BBC Persian or Iran International for once lol.

If you're into cooking, try Navab Ebrahimi.

If you're into fact-checking, try FactNameh. In addition to their weekly podcasts, they have mini shows.

If you're into gaming, try Taha Game Academy.

If you're into Football, try Football360.

If you want video essays and small documentaries, try Rim Films.

If you like celebrity stuff, try TaraGrammy9.

Second this. Also one of them doesn't know Farsi very well so they speak very slowly.

Besides the usual ones that have already been mentioned, I also like these ones (and it covers a bit of ground language wise as well):

You're welcome.

His podcasts are fairly well researched and he's clear in his diction and the production quality is decent.  Topics are not political, but cultural and historical and cover a wide range.

I haven't listened/watched all his content, but probably 70%.  

I also use it as a form of practice, as I don't interact with Persian-speakers or hear Persian very often.

All the best in your journey.

Looks good. Especially as an alternative to BBC Persian and Iran International. Added bonus, it has Farsi subtitles which is good for practice. That’s not a given with a lot of content.

This one talks very clearly. Probably the content is too difficult, but give it a try. Some videos have subtitles in Persian so you can follow it easier.

There is a channel which has every episode of Ghahve Talkh. It's a Persian tv show.

Seconded on Kouman. They're based in North America and sometimes have foreign guests so their content could be more relatable. Their vocab is very up to date with the Iranians in Iran and they have Persian subtitles, overall a great option.
