We can't accept drum and bass we need jungle I'm afraid.

Got me started on watching University Challenge, and now Cosmic Pumpkin is one of my very few "must watch new videos right away" subscriptions on YouTube.

I have to recommend digging into the story behind the person who used to upload UC episodes to YouTube before Cosmic Pumpkin, and the reason that they stopped uploading. Google "Dave Garda", I don't think anyone has done an authoritative writeup but it's a wild one.

Dammit I watched for 45 minutes waiting for the drop.

I knew vague outlines of it from YouTube comments, now searched it up and found a reddit post that explains it more. It would be a bizarre story if it was fiction: uploading (and participating in) quiz telecasts, to faking one's identity and scamming people via charity, is such a weird pipeline. But real life's messy like that, I imagine he probably starting to upload things as a genuine fan originally, and then changed as a person over the course of the years to end up being a scammer.
