A couple interesting options: Good Job Brain - always an interesting listen. They deep dive into different topics from a trivia standpoint.. super interesting.
Behind the Bastards - looks at bad people throughout history.

It's an old one, but Stuff You Should Know. I'm listening chronologically, a couple a day (I do a lot of driving for work) and I'm still only up to about mid-2018. The hosts are so easy to listen too, and I really enjoy their humour.
Obviously it depends on what you're into but I love tech and gaming. I listen to the wan show, friends per second, trash taste and the waveform podcasts.
My top podcasts lately:
-
QAnon Anonymous: started out chronicling the QAnon freakshow but moved towards more general deep dives into modern and past conspiracy movements
-
Minion Death Cult: laughing at right wing comment sections
-
This Is Revolution: great leftist interview/discussion
-
Joy Tactics: extremely funny stuff
-
Uhh Yeah Dude: one of the longest running podcasts out (13 years) and still funny as hell
I dip into some other podcasts from time to time like Chapo Trap House, Comedy Bang Bang, and Vice's CYBER.
I also listen to some paranormal/weird shows that I can recommend if anyone is interested.
I dig My Brother, My Brother, and Me from time to time. It's just three nerdy brothers dorking out together. They used to answer Yahoo questions but they moved to wiki how's since Yahoo died. They good for a laugh but even I admit they can be a handful sometimes lol
