Brady John Haran (/ˈbreɪdi/, born 18 June 1976) is an Australian independent filmmaker and video journalist who is known for his educational videos and documentary films produced for BBC News and also for his YouTube channels, the most notable being "Periodic Videos" and "Numberphile". Haran is also the co-host of the "Hello Internet" podcast along with fellow Youtuber CGP Grey.
Brady Haran studied journalism for a year before being hired by The Adelaide Advertiser. In 2002, he moved from Australia to Nottingham, United Kingdom. In Nottingham, he worked for the BBC, began to work with film, and reported for East Midlands Today, BBC News Online and BBC radio stations.
In 2007, Haran worked as a filmmaker-in-residence for Nottingham Science City, as part of an agreement between the BBC and The University of Nottingham. His "Test Tube" project started with the idea of producing a documentary about scientists and their research, but he decided to upload his raw footage to YouTube; from that point "Periodic Videos" and "Sixty Symbols" were developed. Haran then left the BBC to work full-time making YouTube videos.
Following "Test Tube", Haran decided to create new YouTube channels. In his first 5 years as an independent filmmaker he made over 1500 videos. In 2012, he was the producer, editor, and interviewer behind 12 YouTube channels such as The Periodic Table of Videos,Sixty Symbols and Numberphile. Professor Sir Martyn Poliakoff received the Royal Society of Chemistry Nyholm Prize for Education in 2011 for work taking chemistry education to a wider audience; this included his work with Haran on The Periodic Table of Videos.
