I began making videos with Mark Cooney of Spotted in Ely about three months ago, and this list of those we've made has grown pretty quickly.
There's no pretence that these are the ultimate polished product. Many are done in one take, and all are unscripted. But I hope they address issues of interest.
The wiki page of the current titles is here, and below

Thanks
I'd like to thank Mark Cooney of Spotted in Ely for all his support in this project, because the channel was his suggestion and without him it would not be possible. And since he's paid by the adverts that will be a part of this programme in due course, please accept that they are part of the package that makes this possible.
Thanks for reading this post.

I couldn’t see “There is no such thing as taxpayers money.” These videos have been great. Any chance you could have a body microphone? Sometimes the sound is a bit thin and distant.
Not sure why that did not get on
I will add it…
Is the sound better on more recent ones?
Is the question of why we’re paying interest on bank loans which are really money creation covered in there? I’m thinking that’s the best approach to getting people to understand it, making them realise there could be something in this for them, quite a lot if they can be encouraged to think about it. If we want to bring people around to this (for them) new understanding of the world an appeal to their lower nature might succeed where any appeals to their (alleged) intellect fails.
Thanks for this list Richard – most helpful.
Yes I second this please keep up-dating your list Richard periodically.
I will…
Teachers have asked for me to do that
And that is real value-added….
Thanks very much, Richard. Several of your videos are inspirational.
I have passed several of them on to friends and relatives, one of whom (arts background, no economics) has asked for me – or you – to write a ‘Modern Monetary Theory for Dummies’.
I’m sure you could provide the text, but who would do the graphics?
Perhaps most important would be to find a much snazzier title!
It’s a fascinating thing idea that I have played with….
