If you're into science and specifically the universe I can't highly recommend enough the Infinite Monkey Cage. It's a panel based podcast with the two hosts, usually one or two relevant scientists and a comedian.

It's very british but the set up is phenomenal. It doesn't drone on like a lot of learning podcasts. They keep things fresh, upbeat at times comedic, but always on point. And they have covered so many of the topics people love to contemplate.

Epsiodes include things like Parallel Universes, Building a Bionic Human, AI, How much more is their to discover in the Ocean/Universe, are we living in a simulation, mind vs brain etc.

The comedian brought in really makes it. British comedians tend to be well educated and well versed in a variety of topics compared to most American ones, but when they do step out of their depth and say something silly or wrong the scientists become hilariously dry and savage like only brits can.

Check it out, you learn a lot very quickly.
