Story of Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.
He set out 28 years ago to walk around the world. After 31,000 miles, he just made it home.
Karl Bushby thanks a team he calls Earth. In the Washington Post's most-watched new upload, the returning walker credits people across the globe for helping him get home, as archive footage compresses decades of travel into glimpses of Argentina, Alaska, Mongolia and the Caspian Sea.
The short report has reached about 230,000 views and is the channel's busiest upload by daily viewing, too. Beyond the reunion in Hull, it captures the peculiar feeling of finishing: Bushby describes his last night in a tent and his last day walking alone. An animated map traces the route from Punta Arenas to England.
Much of the rest of the week's coverage concerns journeys with a more immediate destination: the polls. In Georgia, Robert Mathis volunteers to drive fellow senior citizens to vote. In Florida, flooding forces officials to relocate polling places. That report is attracting the next-largest daily audience among the channel's videos, followed by Donald Trump's closing campaign appearance at the Reflecting Pool.
Across the channel, the week brought about 1.6 million views, while the subscriber count remained unchanged. Daily viewing is modestly above its usual level, although the weekly gain is smaller than those of the nearby news channels. New York Post and NewsNation have particularly busy weeks by that measure.
The Washington Post's biggest new audience, meanwhile, gathered around a journey whose destination was simply home.
An English adventurer known for his walking journeys, as well as an author and former paratrooper.
