Currently my favourite time wasters are learning channels on youtube. Especially not the "weird" ones like VSauce because I think those are pretty unwatchable. I like SciShow / SciShow space even though that's borderline weird :)

My current fav is Sixty Symbols, endless very interesting videos: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvBqzzvUBLCs8Y7Axb-jZew

Also PBS Space Time, MinutePhysics, MinuteEarth.

I've been through so many of these - but not Sixty Symbols. Thanks!

Also interesting is Crash Course, made by some of the same folks as SciShow. Really more for high school students, but interesting enough that I don't mind them repeating information I do know and I pick up on new stuff.

How could you forget CGPGrey and ViHart?

Oh, and also Tom Scott, if you haven't seen him yet.
