In 2017, I started a video essay series on YouTube with the Foundation for Economic Education called Out of Frame. It’s mostly just an extension of the way I already think about media, but it turned out to be pretty popular and by the time I ended the series in 2022, it was instrumental to growing FEE’s video channels from virtually nothing, to more than:
340,000 subscribers on YouTube
42 million views
2.7 million hours of watch time (avg. 4-minutes)
1.7 million likes
324,000 shares
130,000 comments
My work has earned two Silver Play Button from YouTube — for Out of Frame and for another series I created and still produce called Common Sense Soapbox.
I’ve also recently started a new series that I work on in my spare time called Create & Destroy. If you liked Out of Frame, you’ll probably like that.
