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

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.

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.
