Tom Scott will post 26 more videos before taking a break after 10 years of weekly content.
Really enjoy that channel. Want to watch 3 hours of content about juke boxes, or laser discs? He’s got you covered, and that’s way more interesting than it sounds like it should be.
I didn’t think I’d ever feel passionately about heat pumps, but thanks to his channel I’ll happily try to convince anyone I talk to that they need to switch to one.
I wasn’t expecting to watch a one hour long video about fridges a few days ago but yet here we are. He has a way about keeping me engaged with things I never knew I wanted to know
Practical Engineering, Real Engineering, Wendover, Climate Town, Kurzgesagt, Polymatter, Smarter Every Day, Veritasium, and The School of Life are a bunch of my favourites in the educational space.
As long as we can all agree NOT Johny Harris. The guy tells an absolutely amazing story, but it is rarely factual. I believe he thinks he is correct, but he lacks a background in most things he touches, and consistently gets in wrong. Pick a subject you know a lot about and watch one of his videos to see what I mean.
For me, it was his video on Space Junk. There are also many other response videos to him. One I think is from an econ professor on Harris’ recent 4 econ videos.

Yeah, too bad about AvE. If you liked his old stuff, check out SuperfastMatt. Engineering of wild project cars, and the headaches of engineering wild project cars.
Unrelated to AvE, but also ZeFrank for well researched comedy nature videos
SuperFastMatt is a super good channel, if you just discovered them, you’ve got a bunch to look forward to. Tesla-Powered jag, land speed car, off-road Biper series
Not a YouTube channel, but he recommended the book “Because Internet” by Gretchen McCulloch, and if you like his linguistics stuff you’ll like the book too
For content by an English guy that travels to interesting places for nerds, there’s the Tim Traveller. He’s basically lower budget and only does Western Europe from what I can tell.
I’ve loved his content for years now. He did say that he was just slowing down, not stopping and I fully support him prioritizing life.
Clearly we are all fans here, so I’ll ask what other channels people would recommend?
My top of head list includes: “Stuff Made Here” “CGPgrey” “AvE” “MinutePhysics”.
Technology Connections for that real deep dive into shit you never knew you wanted to know.

Watched a long video about kettles from him yesterday. The things you don’t think will be interesting.
Cathode Ray Dude too.
Practical Engineering, Real Engineering, Wendover, Climate Town, Kurzgesagt, Polymatter, Smarter Every Day, Veritasium, and The School of Life are a bunch of my favourites in the educational space.
I’d add Mark Rober, legal eagle, cinema therapy, half as interesting (also a Wendover productions), and Kyle hill

Doesn’t seem like anyone has mentioned Steve Mold. His videos are pretty good
Every Frame A Painting is one of those dead channels. But Every single one of their videos are masterpieces.
Jackie Chan, Robin Williams, and Buster Keaton are the cream of the crop though
It’s a different approach from Every Frame, but Thomas Flight scratches the same itch for film analysis.
Also a quick shoutout to a local urbanism channel with cool niche topics, About Here is pretty great.
It’s weird to see AvE recommended these days. I used to never miss a video, but unsubscribed over a year ago when the content felt like it fell off.
As for long form videos, I’d highly recommend Defunctland or Super Eye Patch Wolf.

Yeah, he certainly had a slump, and went political for a bit, but seems to be at least somewhat returning to form.
