CGP Grey is an educational YouTuber and podcaster who posts on YouTube under the channel, CGPGrey. Grey has dual American and Irish citizenship.
The channel features short explanatory videos on varying subjects, including politics, geography, economics, and British culture. The channel's first popular video was an explanation of the terminology of the British Isles, which went viral. Since then, Grey's videos have received increasing attention, having been covered by several publications, including Business Insider, Forbes, and The Washington Post.
In addition to video production, Grey is known for creating the podcast Hello Internet with fellow educational Youtuber, Brady Haran. In 2015, he started another podcast titled Cortex with Myke Hurley of Relay FM.
The channel CGPGrey features, among other things, Grey Explains, a series of explanatory videos on a range of subjects, including politics, geography, economics, and British culture. The videos feature Grey narrating over animations, stock footage and still photographs. While nearly all of Grey's videos feature his voice, his face has never been shown in his videos, and Grey almost always has his face obscured when appearing in other people's videos; he generally uses a stick figure with glasses to represent himself. His videos also often include hidden links, often leading to Monty Python videos. Grey has stated that the presentation style of his videos is influenced by that of Yahtzee Croshaw's Zero Punctuation series.
