About Daniel T. Allen

I craft fascinating facts & footage into binge-worthy deep dives. Producer & host of \"The Limit\"- explainers with a 10+ min AWT. Creator of the world\'s only viral video about matzo. Other fun stuff I worked on:• Over 100 stories of how people turn trash into cash around the world for \"World Wide Waste.\" Scaled series to 38M hours watched & +500K subs.• \"Authorized Account\" peeks inside secretive worlds like pro wrestling or the CIA. Within 1 year the format achieved the company\'s highest average watch times.• I went to prison in Finland to film Insider News\' most-viewed doc of all time. • \"The True Cost of Electric Car Batteries\" for which our team won a 2025 News Emmy. • On \"The Limit,\" I step in front of the camera to explain how far technology and the human body can really go. Our episode on living in space broke a 15-minute average watch time.Whether I’m scripting and voicing a video, collaborating with web reporters or shooting on-location, my focus is the same: tell stories that inform and delight curious audiences. Eager to bring my experience to the next generation of creator-led YouTube channels.
