I spend at least an hour or 2 per day commuting listening to these.

Stuff You Should Know - i started late so had a lot to work through. something for everyone curious about the world
The Cycling Podcast - It's done very well and the amount of rider/DS involvement helps make the sport more interesting for me. something new every day this time of year.
Words Matter - i started when it was republican pundits Elise Jordan and Steve Schmidt and have stayed now it is Katie Barlow and Joe Lockhart (usually only something new on Mondays)

in terms of discrete serialized "stories"

The Dropout (Elizabeth Holmes story) was excellent.
Bagman - i thought Rachel did a great job in bringing the story to life, but accept she isn't for everyone. Close to the last chance to get a first hand verbal account of things that happened 45+ years ago from the lawyers involved, including Agnew's

Am downloading Chernobyl - but will binge on a trip rather than listen week to week.

I don't listen to much but while working i'll listen to:

Riding gravel

not podcast but but the history guy on youtube

David Ramsey

Sam Harris
JRE
Fighter and the Kid
Dan Carlin
The Board Room
Jocko (but not a lot)
Radio Lab

Civilize the mind, but make savage the body.

Best recent:

Bear Brook: bodies found in 55 gallon barrels in small New Hampshire town. Short series with LOTS of weird twists.
In the Dark: Season 1 was about kidnapping of a boy in Minnesota and all the police investigation fuck ups
Season 2 was about a guy who's been charged for the same crime six (I think it's 6) times and got off 5 times on technicalities usually involving racial bias. Case is now at the SCOTUS

Both of these were much better than Serial.

Against the Rules: New podcast by Michael Lewis about fairness.

Planet Money - Economics (NPR)
The Sporkful - Food related, but more interviews and people profiles
More or Less: Behind the Statistics - BBC Short form (7-10 minutes) economics/stats
Radio Lab - Kind of general interest...high production value
Hidden Brain - Behavioral psychology (NPR)
How I Built This - Entrepreneurship (NPR)

I tried Business Wars but found the narrator awful to listen to...felt more like a poorly dramatized audiobook.
Also tried the Malcolm Gladwell podcast, but it has since turned to a music focus and I found it terrible.
