If you are interested in (astro)physics, here are two channels which i enjoy and can assure for their correctness on research topics:
Dr. Becky Astrophysicist talking about what's happening in space from planets currently visible by nakedness eye to new impactfull research papers. She explains everything in an approachable way.
Angela Collier Theoretical physicist, makes long story telling videos about physics and societal topics surrounding research. Most videos are >50 minutes, some are more than three hours. However, they often stray from the original topic.
For some talk about philosophy, I can recommend Philosophy Tube. Most videos are somewhat short of an hour, but explain some philosophical topic in an approachable and interesting manner. Just don't be detered by her extraordinary costumes for each session. I think she research the philosophical questions quite well.
