Welcome to this week’s edition of the Friday Update, in which I give a little insight into what I’ve been up to for the past seven days.
It’s been another whirlwind week in the life of Tom Nicholas!
First and foremost, the last seven days has seen us putting the final touches to my upcoming video, which is currently titled: I Met The World’s Most Contro...

So, I guess it’s time to reveal what my next video is about! And, it’s one which has the potential to be pretty controversial.
So here goes. My next video is about…

2024-07-29 15:00:21 +0000 UTC View PostHi Everyone!
A quick note to apologise for the lack of Friday Updates (and posts generally!) over the past few weeks.
I've recently been away filming my Nebula Original documentary Boomers, which I cannot wait to tell you more about!
More importantly, on return from my filming trip, we've had some serious illness in my family which has been a bit of an e...

Hey Everyone!
Happy Monday and Happy New-Video-Release Day too!
About five weeks ago, as we began work on a completely different project, Rishi Sunak, the Prime Minister of the UK, announced a general election.
And, as someone who makes video about politics on the internet and is British, it felt like it would be a bit weird if we didn’t make anything to coincide with it. 2024-07-01 16:09:21 +0000 UTC View Post

Hey all!
Here it is! My big documentary about why British cities are going bankrupt.
This has been a big undertaking. We've thrown aside the usual video essay format for a four-day road trip, interviews, vox pops and more.
The hope was not only to be able to dig a bit deeper into the topic at hand, but also to make the piece slightly more engaging than it otherwise might've be...

Hey all!
Look! It's a new video!
In this second instalment in my Vape-o-omics trilogy, we're looking at what the rise of disposable vapes such as Elf Bars can tell us about current economic tensions between the US (and Europe) and China.
Putting the final touches to this video over the past week has been really tough. There's some incredible map-based graphics in this...

Hey Everyone!
The day before yesterday, I arrived back in Plymouth after a 27-hour journey home from Tokyo.
My wife and I have had an amazing two weeks travelling around Japan, seeing some incredibly beautiful sights and meeting some wonderful people along the way.
From temples and shrines to gachapon machines and Tokyo Disney to sashimi and seabream, Japan really is a country...

Hey all!
Just a quick note to let you know I'm about to head off to Japan for a couple of weeks with my wife for our honeymoon!
As such, the Friday Update will go on a brief hiatus, as will the streams (although I'm fairly sure I gave good notice on both those fronts! You'll all be glad for me shutting up about it!).
Equally, if anyone tries to get in touch with me, I...
