Yes, I'm talking about the one and only Voice of Solaris VII, Duncan Fisher and the The Duncan Fisher Minute.

"Rated AO for adults 18+"

Only listened to the first ep and the Holiday special (dunno why youtube playlists run backwards, but whatever) and it's great!

Just for the record, this is because they're last in-first out stacks, and people tend to add things to them in chronological order (either because they're compiling them over time as a series progresses, or after the fact because it seems logical). In order to get them to play with the earliest episode first, the person curating the playlist has to start adding with the newest one, or if compiling as the series is going, the curator has to remember to deliberately move each new entry to the bottom. Some do, most either forget or can't be arsed.

What really annoys me is that no one at Google can be bothered to add a "play this playlist in reverse order" button for the user, so that playlist curation errors of this kind can be worked around on the client side.

One workaround you can use is to add the videos to your Watch Later list in chronological order, since that is first in-first out. I do this with my subscriptions after coming back from holiday, since I normally don't have 10 hours spare to get caught up straight away, and it's easier than scrolling down your subscriptions list to see where you left off each time.

Of course, this begs the question of why Google can't just port the code for this over to regular playlists.

That's because they're too busy automatically banning everybody for no reason, hiding subscription numbers from uploaders, and other things that literally no user or uploader has ever asked for instead.

There is even more of The Duncan Fisher Minute over on Soundcloud than is on his YouTube channel. Enjoy mechfans and death to the Clanners.

What's weird is that these are in a wonky order too.
