      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.

    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.
