I'd not say I get opinions from but some experts I watch, read, listen to to form opinions.

Professor Kevin Anderson, James Hansen and Will Steffan (RIP) (climate change)

Professor Brian Cox and Richard Feynman RIP (physics amd astro pbysics. I can listen to Richard all day :)

Sam Harris "philosophy" (he's also a neuroscientist)

James Galbraith, Yanis Varoufakis and Thomas Piketty (Economics)

General medical podcast with Dr Norman Swan

I'm seeing a ton of AI generated Feynman stuff on YouTube lately. Don't know enough to know if this is his audio lectures just with AI graphics, or fan generated stuff like they are doing with Brian Cox.

Either way, I'm getting so tired of playing "Is this just made up AI crap" when looking for a science or history program to unwind with.

I know it's old man yelling at clouds, but I really wish they required AI slop to be labeled.
