🕑 Added 2023-02-23 12:35:29 +0000 UTCHi friends, we're planning a March live Q&A - drop your questions and requests, (ie would you like to hear from members of the team perhaps?) Excited to get to connect again, was so fun last time.

Where does Tom Fox composing music come in the workflow? Does he compose to your edit or do you change the edit to fit his composition?
Ryan Shields
When you map things like bakeries in the US vs France I assume youβre pulling data from OpenStreetMap? Or something else? What is your workflow for accessing it? Have you considered doing sponsorships with data providers like Safegraph, Dataplor, or Foursquare to get access to their POI data for a story?
Ryan Shields
Do you have plans to do more quantitative/data driven pieces like the Bermuda Triangle? Also does it drive you bonkers to only be able to map in Web Mercator? Or are you hipster enough to embrace the beauty of it?
Chiaohong Cheng
Any chance of coming to Taiwan?
Ryan Hook
Oh also very curious about the USA's freedom of information. In Canada, it's an extremely arduous process to access information and obtain FOI's. What's that process like for you and your team?
Ryan Hook
You've faced some criticism from a few YouTubers, why do you think that is?
Egor M
I would definitely like to listen for your video editors and animations artists! That'd be super interesting!
Ryan Hook
Definitely curious about Iz's transition from lifestyle content to journalism. How's this new role for her, and what has she learned/ wish she knew before diving into it?
Yogev Gabay
As a fellow YouTuber myself (musical rhythmic educational videos) I wonder: how do you keep your work on track in the beginning stages of your content creation journey (when it isn't lucrative enough yet to sustain itself), in combination with working and paying your bills? Cheers from Israel! If you need any hebrew help, I'm your guy.
Maya Fawaz
Would love to learn more about why you left Vox to pursue solo projects. Did you intend to build your own company from the start? I work with a local NPR station and have been curious about the world of freelance. Any advice?
JosΓ© Santiago
Will you ever make an explainer about how lobbying works in the US?
Investor Evolution
Do you have a master, high-level structure that you (and your team) follow for every episode or do they come together organically based on the research and, finally, the edit?
Jaden Kamau
You said you have a specific way you think of intros for videos. What are the ingredients for a good intro
Jaden Kamau
I wanted to ask this question great thing you did
Stan Sabev
Script to screen, the way of delivery and challenges with that. Are you remember everything, or reading line by line, or teleprompter? How and why you choose that style of delivery over something else? Basically Johnny tell us all the secrets π€π₯
Claudia Forsberg
I'd like to hear from your researchers. How do you set about finding the information that you need, and how do you collate it all together into a coherent narrative?
Brianna Aslanian
Will you be exploring more of the US?
Liv Amanita
What country haven't you been to yet but want to visit at some point?
Daniel Nakash
Have you considered diving into geopolitical analysis of a fictitious world, such as Westeros, Middle Earth or others?
Daniel Nakash
How was it for you to become self employed? How did it came to be?
Daniel Nakash
What's the process for choosing the subject for next video? They seem very diverse and always interesting!
Chaim laser
Is Patreon the main source of Revenue for you
Raul Serpas
What's the budget for each video like? how do you bring in revenue?
Jaxon Sackett
How have you produced so many documentary quality videos this year!? you've put out so may videos this year and it's only Feb. What's your workflow like
Sophia
Do you realize you would make a great geographer? How is your Italian? π Where in the world (according the YouTube statistics) is your audience from? Greetings from a geographer from Austria! π
Kati Scanlon
If this is an appropriate question, and you do not mind sharing, do you ever hire for your team? If so, how do you announce it? Thank you!
Logan Ward
Hey Johnny! How do you and your team find clips to use in your videos? Not the ones that you film or any stock footage but the very specific clips regarding a topic. For example: Roger Sterling from Mad Men drinking milk. Do you just go down a rabbit hole trying to find these or is there something else you use?
Nicholas Lovell
Hi Johnny, Always enjoy your videos. Came across this Reddit thread today https://www.reddit.com/r/Documentaries/comments/119jz9k/us_coups_mapped_2023_a_short_doc_about_us/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button Would you say you have addressed the criticisms raised in these comments in your more recent videos? Any you disagree with? Any idea where these accusations of being a CIA agent come from? π
Lin
Hello βΊοΈ How does the team collaborate in premiere pro? Do you use team projects?
@DaveRizz
I've always been curious about how many people-hours goes into your videos? Across all the departments. Do you track the number of hours? It feels like a lot, but you're also cranking videos out like non-stop?!
Fabian Segura
Hey guys! Iβm sure this has happened a couple of times, but is there any one story that you started working on that by the end of it you realized it led you down a completely different path that you expected?
Max Laulom
Hey Team, could you guys show us what the infodoc looks like ? Also, how manny people work on your videos and in your company more globally ?
Alice Ro
Hi Johnny! It would be very exciting if you could talk about how do you and your team make the visual storytelling so compelling. How do you decide what inserts to put in, what style to choose, where to get them, etc.
Patrick Riegert
Q: Hi, Johnny. How do you deal with criticisms of inaccuracies or omissions of information/context in your work, especially when those criticisms are via other YouTubers' videos?
