Where do I start on my road down philosophy?

So I've just been getting into philosophy over the past year and I've barely scratched the surface. This question isn't exclusively about philosophy but extends to other subjects of study as well. 
If you take people like Jordan Peterson, Matt dillahunty, Sam Harris, etc., regardless of whether you side with their views or not, you cannot deny that they have a huge knowledge base at their disposal during debates and discussions and whatnot. 

As someone who's become really inspired by these well-read individuals, my question is that where can I start? What subjects would be helpful for me to read into so I can have rational and factual discussions and I can think for myself so as to not minconstrued the information I'm getting? 

It doesn't have to specifically be philosophy. Anything from sociology to physics to psychology that will help me get a more well rounded perspective on the world. My problem is that I don't know what subjects to start with and if I do lock in on a subject, what specifically do I read. 

Sorry for the long post. If you can be specific about certain books I can read or certain videos or lessons I can watch, it would be of great help to me! Thank you! 

EDIT : Holy shit I was not expecting to get responses this comprehensive. Thanks a lot to everyone for the great advice. And thanks reddit!
