OTB National Master Nelson Lopez has two Youtube channels called "Chess Vibes" and "Chess Adventures". First on the "Chess Vibes" channel and now on its own channel, he has a very good video series in which he presents endgame studies.
I want to highly recommend his series, as it is really fun, and he also usually kindly includes the names of the composers in his descriptions.
The first season (ongoing) is called "Puzzle Island". It features Peter Patzer, Average Joe, and Bobby Fischerman as the protagonists. Rarely other puzzles are included which are also interesting, but usually endgame studies are the focus of the series. A great part of the charisma of the series not only stems from the great presentation of the studies, but from the characters which are drawn beautifully - be it the main characters, or the side characters and antagonists. Bobby Fischer once said that chess is war on the board, and it is fitting that Bobby Fischerman resolves conflicts on the board by solving the puzzles presented to him.
I can't speak officially for the WFCC, obviously, but personally I think, essentially he does the work that the WFCC wanted to do with the "Study of the Year" and later my article series "Study of the Month": Making endgame studies fun and accessible to a general public. For this reason I think that (if any official reads this) the series should at least be quickly mentioned at the next WCCC as a positive surprise.
