Iβm working my way through the old episodes of Short History Of and The Soundtrack Show. Both are well written and narrated and worth listening to.

The Soundtrack Show is so great.
"If you're listening" is anazing, but I have always loved "The Science Show" the best. Both on ABC.
For non-Aussie podcasts, 99% invisible I guess.

- Spout Lore - the best real play RPG podcast
- Last Podcast on the Left - True Crime, aliens, and cryptids.
- Marvel By The Month - every Marvel comic, one month at a time
- Blank Check - The best movie podcast
- The Flop House - the best bad movie podcast
- Depresh Mode - Mental health, also the best named podcast in history
- No Dogs In Space - alternative music history
- Sawbones - Medical history, also relationship goals
- Till Death Do Us Blart - the eternal podcast
- Improvised Star Trek - Sadly ended but still hilarious
I dropped the ball a bit on listening to podcasts therefor right now it'd be "This American Life" but normally I also enjoy the Flophouse.
Usually those two:
WANshow from the LinusTechTips team
Darknet Diaries by Jack Rhysider
Darknet Diaries is fantastic!
black box down - it is about airplane incidents and goes into detail on how it happened plus what changed in the industry to avoid the issue in the future.
The Unmade Podcast (https://unmade.fm/) is probably my GOAT. Brady Haran (from Numberphile, Computerphile, etc.) and his Childhood friend, Tim Hein, come up with wacky ideas for podcasts that they won't actually make. Definitely the funniest podcast I've ever heard.
Hello Internet, also from Brady, with CGP Grey, is also amazing. Though sadly on hiatus.
Office Hours w/ Tim Heidecker. Very funny but he also has great musicians and other interesting folks on.
If you like investigative journalism, Someone Knows Something. David Ridgen is fantastic in all of his shows and the care with which he handles delicate subjects is rare.
Iβm really enjoying Working Out Out with Mike Birbiglia and WTF with Marc Maron
Dear Hank and John (funny John and Hank Green)
Hardcore History with Dan Carlin
The Debaters (Canadian comedy show where two comedians debate whether something (ex: malls, big weddings, etc) is good/bad and get judged by live audience)
- check out the pretzels vs peanuts episode
I enjoy Adam Ragusea's podcast. It is a bit all over the place sometimes, but it's mostly about cooking related stuff?
French speakers should check out Mike Ward sous Γ©coute. It's just QuΓ©bec comedians* getting drunk in front of a crowd. I really enjoy it.
Darknet diaries have been named a few times already, but I will also list it, it's just that good haha.
* Google tells me humorist is a word in english but im not sure? It's mostly people doing comedy, not necessarily movies etc.

It's so gorgeously audio designed and mixed, all about ecological preservation, geology, humans place as a part of nature, and many more and tangentially related topics. Headphones are a must.
Blocked Party, a Canadian podcast about getting blocked.
FriendlyJordies.
A locally made one here in Australia - How Other Dads Dad, by Hamish Blake.
The Weekly Planet. Two funny and liberal Aussie guys talk about comics, movies, and TV shows. Mostly the former two. They have a great YouTube channel too.
The Delta Flyers is a great Star Trek podcast about Star Trek: Voyager and more now that they have finished their re-watch of the series.
Mostly industry / work related stuff honestly.

DevOps Paradox
DevOps and Docker Talk
