The YouTube interview channel By.Storytellers with Debbie Bishop is no longer just a place for creator conversations—it’s becoming a full-fledged programming hub. With new series spanning literature, film, music, consciousness studies, and even a real-time AI roundtable, the channel is positioning itself as a destination for audiences who want to see the work behind the artists, not just hear about it.
The expansion arrives with a slate of distinct shows, each designed to pull back the curtain on the creative process. A new book-focused series, About the Books, launches this November with ten episodes under 15 minutes, where authors walk viewers through the stories inside their pages. The goal is straightforward: help readers find their next great read without the usual promotional fluff.
New series showcase authors, musicians, filmmakers, artists, and innovators, with ten short book-focused episodes launching in November.

Beyond books, The Craft digs into the nitty-gritty of professional creative fields—writing, publishing, filmmaking, stunt performance, comics, and music—by asking how ideas actually become finished work. Meanwhile, The Power of Being takes a different turn, exploring metaphysics, intuition, consciousness, energy, and spirituality, including a new roundtable called Manifestors R Us, where empaths and guests discuss breathwork, energetic healing, manifestation, and personal transformation.
Promoting ourselves is one of the hard. I created By.Storytellers and EmpowerTools to give authors and creators a place to shine, share their works and stories, and connect with their audiences.”— Debbie Bishop
Los Angeles, CA — October 23, 2026 — The channel, available at By.Storytellers on YouTube, is hosted by award-winning author and former entertainment executive Debbie Bishop. Each episode pairs in-depth conversation with actual examples of the guest’s work—music videos, book covers, artwork, and trailers—so viewers see and hear the creations firsthand.
One of the most unusual additions is The AI & Human Roundtable, a real-time format where Bishop brings together seven AI participants, each represented by an avatar they chose or created. The discussions zero in on pressing global problems, possible solutions, and the question of how humans and AI can collaborate—and survive—together.
Current featured content includes author Elizabeth “Elli” O’Carroll and her illustrated Myloh’s Ocean Adventure Books, co-authored with Missy Richardson. The children’s series mixes magical underwater tales with awareness of ocean pollution from balloons, microplastics, and Styrofoam, aiming to inspire young readers to protect the seas.
An upcoming episode on Thursday, October 29, will feature N Von Wolf in a conversation about the bad boys of fiction and history—examining why audiences remain fascinated by unconventional and morally complicated characters. New episodes land on Thursdays, with select bonus episodes on Tuesdays.
The platform also emphasizes practical support for its guests. Creators receive short clips from their appearances to share on their own channels and are encouraged to invite By.Storytellers to collaborate on supported platforms.

Bishop, whose own titles include PILLYWIGGIN Awakening, War Eagles, The Chameleon, and the Black Tide series, is also developing film projects with veteran action designer and filmmaker Jeff Imada, who will direct The Chameleon and Enter The Game, a prequel in the Black Tide series that blends science, history, technology, myth, and metaphysics. She built the By.Storytellers channel alongside EmpowerTools, her Skool community designed to teach creators how to promote themselves.
Media contact for the channel is Angelgate Entertainment LLC, with creator inquiries directed to the By.Storytellers website. Social links for Debbie Bishop include LinkedIn, Bluesky, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, X, and Other.
Why it matters: As traditional media gatekeepers shrink, creators are building their own direct-to-audience pipelines, and By.Storytellers is betting that showing the work—not just the personality—will set it apart. The channel’s move into AI roundtables and consciousness topics also signals a broader appetite for programming that goes beyond simple artist interviews and into the big questions shaping creative and human experience.
