Hi, I'm Tom Scott. These are some of the things I've made and done. They'll probably come back to haunt me in a few years' time.

The first two episodes of my run on ‪@jetlagthegame‬ are up on YouTube! This was so much fun to be part of.

The ‪@lateralcast‬ book is out, in both US and UK editions; co-author and show producer David Bodycombe and I got to visit the printers as it rolled off the press! It's in actual physical bookshops right now, and there are order links at lateralcast.com/book/

While I'm not quite ready to reappear on this channel yet, the first of four new weekly Reverse Trivia episodes has just been released over on the Technical Difficulties channel, ‪@techdif‬! Chris, Gary, Matt and I are going back to a format from a long time ago, and this time I've even got question cards.

‪@techdif‬ are back, with me, Gary, Chris and Matt taking on four new adventures! As it's a brand new season, I figured I'd give folks here a heads up. The first video is spectacular: ‪@MattGrayYES‬ has one hour to hover a helicopter.

I've got a new podcast! It's called "Lateral", it's about interesting questions, and the first episode is live now. It's available as video here on YouTube, or as audio in whichever podcast player you use. Go listen, or watch, or whatever you do with podcasts!

(And yes, we're reusing the branding from an old series, and you might notice that series is unlisted temporarily ⁠— don't worry, it'll be back shortly, that's just to help search optimisation for the new show!)

What would you ask the world?

If you're an academic who wants to ask something of a large and representative sample of the public, or if there's a debate you want settled by public opinion, I might be able to help. [edit: the form is now closed, thanks all]

I'm opening my annual call for guest videos! As usual, I'll be taking January off, and I'm looking for YouTube creators who'd want to step in for a video. If that's you, apply! If you're not sure if that's you, apply anyway! All the details are here: www.tomscott.com/guest/

I'm running a brief survey about language, which might become part of a future video! It should take about 2-3 minutes. [Edit: thanks all! The survey is now closed.]

And away we go again! Over on the ‪@mattandtom‬ channel, the third season of Two Of These People Are Lying has started, with the rest of the Technical Difficulties team. As ever, I won't notify the main channel for each show, so go subscribe over there if it's your sort of thing!
