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

jay foreman, i suppose?
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.
Seconding inheritance machining. Love the dry humor. In general a very charismatic guy.
If you enjoy that type of content, and don’t know him yet, also check out “this old tony”. He leans more into the comedy side of things but his videos are also still very informative
I like the cut of his jib, just never connected with any projects of his really.
Do I sense another follower of the man I adopted as my new dad - Adam Savage?
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)
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.
