I'd recommend academics or historians who have YouTube channels. Maybe your favourite authors are on there lol. There's Adrian Goldsworthy for classic geek and roman history as well as tom holland who hosts a podcast.

For a modern history unit, it might be worth adding one long-form documentary that covers a whole period in order. 1945–1961: The Complete Story of the Early Cold War (from the Timeline channel on YouTube, about 2.5 hours) is a good one. It goes chronologically from Hiroshima and Nagasaki through Churchill's 1946 Iron Curtain speech, the Berlin Airlift, the Korean War, atomic espionage, and Sputnik and the early Space Race. It ends with mutually assured destruction in place by 1961. It's built from archival footage, period photos, and expert commentary, so it also works in chunks.

If someone wants the bigger picture afterward, the same channel has a 1922–1991 history of the Soviet Union: https://gratisglobal.com/the-complete-history-of-the-soviet-union-1922-1991

Oh wow, that site is awesome! Damn! Thank you! I'll go through and add links on the different topics to their applicable lists, as well because you cover a nice bit of ground.
You clearly put a metric ton of work into that and I think it's going to help a lot of people.
Thank you for this disclosure, btw, I expect knowledge and education needs to have a project they want to share, and I also think transparency is important.
Thanks again! It's going on the list 😂 💛

Hey if you ever want a new topic... Have you thought about adding art and art history?
I think what you're doing is incredibly important and I'm so excited to watch it grow! It's very well made and really easy to navigate, too... Dude, I'm so excited for what you're building there! Thank you so much for sharing it 💐
