I’m kinda surprised no one’s mentioned them yet; but if you wanted a long-winded version of Tom Scott with a focus on technologies, take a look at Technology Connections
This guy‘s awesome! Found him years ago when I first read about Laserdisc and his videos were fresh, like 2-3 months old. Been a fan ever since.
jay foreman, i suppose?

The Tim Traveller is very similar, they’re actually friends too which is nice.
He’s great and I think he’s crossed with other similar content creators too including Tom Scott (or I could be wrong about that last one)
There’s a video about a rail replacement helicopter in which Tim states that Tom wanted to do a video about it. But he was busy at the time, so they sent the tip to Tim instead.
As I anticipated, I’ve yet to find a replacement for most of the things I enjoyed from Tom.
My source of uniquely emoted monologues of the British persuasion is often somewhat filled by “Lost in the Pond”.
My engineering/hardware fix is a mix of many channels, a “newer” channel some may not yet know would be “Inheritance Machinery”
Funky Art projects/style has lately been Ali Spangola, she’s a real hoot
Unique Items of a vaguely educational nature would be Objectivity as well as Steve Mould
And Gameshows and the like from DropoutTv, thoughve I’ve yet to find anything like CitationNeeded.
Tom’s a hard guy to replace, but thats not really something I’ve tried to do anyways. I just get my fixes from many youtubers who also provide unique and wonderful content too.
That’s a persistent itch.
Here are two channels I think Tom’s viewers would appreciate.
Alexis Dahl makes interesting videos on history, science and life in Michigan.
The Tim Traveller makes ridiculous, yet strangely informative videos about locations all over Europe.
Both channels consistently provide answers to questions I hadn’t thought to ask. Both do it with a genuine sense of wonder and a lot of heart.
- Vsauce
- Veritasum
- Adam Savage
- Stuff made here
- Mark Rober
- Rex Krueger
- Wisecrack
Steve Mould would fit that list
Who the hell is Tom Scott?
