Can anyone suggest a youtube channel that has what they consider to be truly comprehensible input for beginners? In any language.
It seems this is a difficult task, Krashen gives a great example back in what looks like 1970 something and 50 years later we still don't have a lot of readily available material. I'm sure many are already well familiar with his example

In Russian, I think the channel "Russian With Max" does very well, especially when he's reading stories as he describes the scene in many ways, often repeating the same key words. But for this you probably need at least a lower intermediate level already.
I have seen a few channels where the hosts are genuinely trying to make clear what they are talking about, even directly referencing Krashen's comprehensible input theory, but often this devolves into unnaturally slow speech and robs the expression of the required emotion. Seems to me that slow speech really encourages the watcher to actively translate word by word into their native language in order to comprehend.
I feel like we'd benefit from a style thats more akin to how we speak with children, enthusiastically, and with emotion, humour, repetition and contrast. Where we can extract the meaning from otherwise normal speech, similar to how Krashen conducts his demonstration.
Are there channels like this in any language?
