The phrase “Tom Scott itch” makes me think of an itchy butthole. Not sure if that was intended, but that’s how I took it

I was going to edit my other response but I'll just make a new one so OP sees it.

Calum Raasay , out of Scotland, makes some outstanding historo-scientific videos. He travels around quite a bit too.

Another that I haven't seen mentioned is Our Own Devices , he actually used to write for Simon Whistler. Most of his videos are shot in-studio, like Technology Connections and Joe Scott, but he also ventures out into the field for special projects. It's a similar mix to what you'd see on Forgotten Weapons.

Bill Hammack does less travel/outdoors content, but similarly explains Science in a clear manner.

... and Newpipe recommends good similar videos, if you turn it on, in settings.

Like in this collection, Steve Mould has a clear and interesting Science presentation of common or curious topics.

Steve Mould is great. I finally have an intuitive understanding of how diodes work because of him.

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! 😂)

  • Hbomberguy

Never knew Wendover and HAI were run by the same person, wow 😳

TheGalacticVoid ,

They aren't. He's confusing Wendover and Jet Lag. HAI hates Wendover's guts because his channels keep stealing viewers and subscribers from HAI.

What about that guy from Extremities?

I heard Cary Huang (known on YouTube as carykh) does some cool STEM related stuff, and... I guess some kind of live competition as well? It's too late for you to join it though.

Steve Mould would fit that list

Mark "Hyce" Huber is a major rail fan, and does a bunch of related stuff. Works at a railroad museum, used to work for a modern freight railroad, has been involved in the rail sim world, and does educational, usually railroad and train-based videos on the Google video scented advertising platform.

Hyce and some of his buddies actually borrow the format of Citation Needed/Two Of These People Are Lying during their "3/4 of an idiot show." Just watch out for the Mystery Citrus!

Devi ,

The Tim Traveller is very similar, they're actually friends too which is nice.

Arfman ,

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)

bob_lemon ,

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.

SeaJ ,

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

MR_GABARISE ,

The CBC has a really great series called "About That" and the vulgarisation is on a whole other level.

It's geared around Canadian news and politics half of the time but it covers international events as well.

It scratches that itch, just on much more current topics.

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

Nikls94 ,

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.

Hukka ,

Make sure you subscribe to his newsletter if you haven't yet. He often shares interesting finds from the internet and videos worth watching about all sorts of topics.

VelvetStorm ,

Who the hell is Tom Scott?

Miarolitic ,

He used to produce very interesting science and technology content on YouTube. His videos are worth looking up.

He still does a podcast called Lateral which I enjoy.
