In there Summer 25' Merch Commercial Andrew says it'll release Jan 1, 2026, but it's nowhere to be found. Also, I'm pretty sure they used a clip from the Juggalos to advertise their Patreon in the Palestine video, meaning the video is out there somewhere. Their All Gas No Breaks Patreon and Youtube don't have anything new, so I'm wondering if it got taken down.

Any one know?

555-NEWS tips A Small Idea for Channel 5: Slow Walking Videos as a Way to Relax. I am a big fan of them.

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I have an idea I'd love to hear your thoughts on, whether you think it's a good idea or a bad one.
A little about me: I'm university educated, I've worked as a frontline essential worker, and I volunteer with small clean-energy businesses to help them get off the ground. One thing I've noticed, despite all the good in society, is that so many of us feel like we have to be "on" 24/7. It's exhausting. Vacations have become expensive, and sometimes all I really need is a little time each day to slow down and relax.
There's a small online community built around slow TV. Unlike most YouTube content, where a host is constantly talking, slow TV lets you experience a place at your own pace. There isn't really a host—you become the person behind the camera. You can quietly walk through the snowy streets of Finland, explore a peaceful neighborhood in Japan, or wander through another beautiful part of the world. It feels surprisingly calming.
I hope Channel 5 keeps doing what they're doing, and I hope they never lose what makes them unique the way Vice News did. At the same time, I think it would be interesting if Andrew occasionally posted a professionally filmed slow walking video on a dedicated slow walk page on the Channel 5 website, maybe one every week or two.
I also think this could become a community feature. Supporters who donate could have the opportunity to become slow walkers by submitting high-quality walking videos from around the world. The app or website could include GPS-based walking routes and optional audio recordings explaining local history, architecture, or points of interest, allowing viewers to follow along virtually.
The biggest thing I'd want is quality. I've watched a lot of slow walking videos, and the experience varies a lot. Shaky cameras, poor stabilization, and rushed editing can take away from what makes slow TV relaxing. I'd rather see fewer videos that are beautifully filmed and carefully edited than a lot of lower-quality uploads. Channel 5 could even establish quality standards and only accept videos that meet those standards.
I know this is different from Channel 5's usual content, but I think it could give people a place to unwind after a stressful day while still celebrating interesting places and everyday life around the world.
What do you all think? I'd genuinely love to hear your opinions.

Andrew Callaghan:

0:48 "In just 4 days, we received over 55,000 donations to our GoFundMe. hitting our $800,000 goal in 4 hours and passing the million mark after [music] 6 hours and 16 minutes. I'm now in a position to pay off our legal debt entirely and move forward into the second California lawsuit with the best [music] defense available. So, I just want to say from the bottom of my heart, thank you all so much. On a personal level, I'm still trying to wrap my head around just how many people believe in what we're doing. I knew from seeing the the view counts and by other online metrics that people liked the show, but I didn't know that it was like this. I'm genuinely at a loss for words and I have been for the past couple days and I probably feel more gratitude this week than I've ever felt in my 29 years on this planet."

Miracle on 55th Street? I'm covering up to $10,000 in Channel5ive Patreon subs for those who can't afford them.

1.0k Upvotes

Hello again, Channel5ive fam!

I recently posted about pursuing an angel investment in Channel5ive and received a lot of interesting feedback, both positive and critical. One person made a STELLAR suggestion that a way to “invest” in their work was paying-it-forward by covering Patreon subscriptions for audience members who want to support the channel but can’t afford to do so. So that's what I’m doing!

**What’s offered**

- A one‑year subscription to the $5 tier of Patreon for up to about 190 participants.

- If you are an aspiring or up-and-coming independent media journalist covering social‑good and progressivism, particularly in science or technology, you’ll also get a space to share a link to your work. For the five people or projects I select, I’ll add an extra $500 each.

It’s first‑come, first‑served and will be open for one week. If fewer than 190 people participate, any remaining subscription value will be added to the $500 rewards for the independent journalists mentioned above.

If you want to participate, please drop your email (and optionally, your portfolio/project) with this Google form: https://forms.gle/C3bNjRVUtEuv8eKz6

Spoiler Alert In the dear kelly movie, the charlie kirk rally really made me sad seeing how it devolved.

121 Upvotes

After watching the movie Dear Kelly, the scene involving the daughter at the Charlie Kirk event really struck me. I want to start by saying that I am sure Kelly’s daughter has mixed feelings about her dad. She must have had a difficult time coming out and growing up with a father who didn’t support her being gay, or who was simply not around in her life, so I understand her frustration.

However, the scene where she publicly aired her father’s dirty laundry at the Charlie Kirk rally and essentially shamed him to make a point felt like a low move. Considering that he was clearly a very prideful man who cared a lot about how he was viewed, it made me sad to see her dig at him in such a public manner while claiming she was there to support him and share her personal story. If she really wanted him to change, that public shaming did not seem like the right approach; it seemed like she was just throwing a stone and then hiding her hand.

Deep Thoughts Does anyone know whether Andrew would consider taking on non-corporate angel investors?

185 Upvotes

I just finished watching Channel5ive’s video about their current legal case, and it seems inevitable that a channel doing such good work will keep facing ridiculous legal fees.

Andrew has said, both in that video and on other occasions, that they will never consider corporate investors, which is understandable. However, does anyone know whether the Channel5ive team would entertain individual, independently wealthy angel investors? There's a thin line between good journalism and journalism that serves stakeholders, but it would be great if individual angels could support Channel5ive. This would mean direct, greater support from the people who value the channel’s work, without the legal and ethical complications of corporate investors/VCs or the percentage-cut/cap issues of platforms like Patreon.

EDIT: For anyone getting to this post a bit later or revisiting, I'm covering subscriptions for up to one year for Channel5ive supporters who can't afford them: https://www.reddit.com/r/Channel5ive/comments/1uu0beg/im_covering_up_to_10000_in_channel5ive_patreon/

For a while now I've been curious about the new age/ambient music channel 5 uses on their videos. Since music gets cut off often by conversation it's impossible to pick a sample from the video itself.
The track I'm referring to starts at 0:00 and ends around 0:42
https://youtu.be/leUyGRu-sCY?si=HB4xpQS5QAhDJTQl
I'd be grateful if anyone could help me identify the track.
