Mostly short form explainers about interesting subjects, presented in a sort of breathless British TV presenter style. Like a young Attenborough but less posh. Pretty good channel.
*Middle aged, maybe. Certainly not young anymore
I think short form is more like tiktok/youtube shorts length now. I'd put tom scott as medium length.
You're right, the term has taken on that meaning by now. It's just relatively short compared to the multi hour video essays I tend to consume the most.
Wasn't he on conputerphile a lot too? That channel is amazing
