Election results become a reform agenda for Mr. Beat

Ben Sheehan joins a five-upload week that moves from midterm reactions to structural changes in Congress.

Mr. Beat had a particularly busy week among nearby-sized education channels, drawing about 3.1 million views, the largest weekly audience in that group. Drew Durnil also had a substantial week, while Fall of Civilizations and History Time were quieter. Mr. Beat added roughly 10,000 subscribers, with daily views running moderately above his usual level.

The election supplied the thread through most of his five uploads. "Most Consequential Midterm of Our Lives?" attracted the largest audience of the new releases. He calls the results potentially the biggest midterm upheaval since 1994, reviews Democratic gains and singles out Mississippi's unexpectedly close Senate contest. Then comes a personal footnote: "I hate to say this, none of my endorsements won."

From there, the week turns toward what elected officials might actually change. Ben Sheehan, host of PBS's Civics Made Easy, joins "25 Reforms Congress Must Pass in the Next 10 Years" to react to Mr. Beat's structural wish list. The newest upload, "National Popular Vote Interstate Compact For Real?!?", considers the possibility of guaranteeing the presidency to the national popular-vote winner. It is currently drawing the most daily views of any individual video on the channel.

There was a field trip amid the electoral arithmetic, too. "The Underground Railroad Is Literally Underground" takes Mr. Beat to historians and archaeologists, including stops concerning Mount Mitchell and Quindaro in Kansas. Despite the title, his description explicitly distinguishes the real network of people and safe houses from the familiar tunnel myth.
