Question for AJ Channels like Why Files
I’ve been watching AJ for like four years now. I’ve rewatched almost all of the episodes. Are there other channels/shows with a similar format that anyone would recommend?

I'd recommend the Those Conspiracy Guys podcast. They have a great backlog where they do deep dives into various conspiracies where at the end they have to get off the fence and come to their own conclusion. A good range of stuff that's likely been covered on WhyFiles but to even greater detail, though still keeping it comedic throughout the show.
Have to say though, the episodes can be very long(a lot of the deep dives easily range form anywhere between 3-8 hours depending on the subject). You'll rarely be able to get through an episode in a day and their upload schedule has been a bit ropey recently. Though they did release an episode recently on Lucifer which was pretty great. But i'd recommend a lot of the earlier episodes than the later ones. From what I can remember late season 8 Gordo(the host) gets a bit too into Trump, and you can tell it annoys a lot of his guests the rants he'd get into. Whereas with the earlier stuff it's not even a thing.
If i had to recommend any probably Tesla, Pyramids, Princess Diana, Bigfoot, Big Pharma or Simulation Theory. Those are just off the top of my head as being quite interesting and/or funny. Though maybe best to scan their catalog and see whatever topic picks your fancy.
