    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 never discovered Tom Scott until his announcement that he was taking a break which many other channels made videos on. Looking through them, as well as seeing the suggestions, I can kind of get the gist of the channel. Suggestions I haven’t seen yet:

    Climate Town - climate and environment related

    Rebecca Watson - science and critical thinking

    ContraPoints - philosophy related

    Adam Conover - Currently more politically oriented but Adam Ruins Everything was more general

    Some suggestions I haven’t seen yet, not all of which perfectly map with Tom Scott but are still good! At least the first five of these are also available on Nebula.

    • Answers with Joe (starring Joe Scott. No relation, but a similar name!)

    • Wendover / Half as Interesting (two channels with a different vibe, but the same guy)

    • Mustard (cool airplane and other vehicle stuff)

    • Innuendo Studios

    • Legal Eagle

    • SciShow

    • Shaun (basically a podcast, but the guy is quite smart and he does a fantastic job considering how boring he sounds! 😂)
