Skeptics Guide to the Universe - Also going for over a decade, Dr. Steven Novella (MD) and his friends/family go over the news in skepticism each week - and also tons of jokes.
Data Skeptic - Less jokey than above, basically a data scientist and occasionally his wife take a deep dive into a single subject in data science. Much of data science is trying to pull signal from noise - so the skepticism part is crucial.
Sup Holmes - Interviews with indie game developers. No longer ongoing, but one of the most deeply human interviews I've ever seen, with some of the most dedicated caring folks working for years on pure passion.
I would have been inconsolable if The Skeptic's Guide hadn't come up. This Week in Science is great too.
I'm climate and energy nerd (purely amateur) and really enjoy The Energy Transition Show [xenetwork.org]. There's a subscription cost, but it is well worth it if your area of interest or expertise overlaps the show's focus. It generally features a long-format interview with an expert in some aspect of climate or energy production. It cured me of doomerism.
Rationally Speaking [rationally...odcast.org] is great for anyone trying to practise their critical thinking. Long-form interviews on all manner of subjects that overlap with critical thinking. Julia Galef, the host, regularly knocks me flat with her insights.
Transport Evolved on YouTube is good for EV news if you are interested in alternative energy. You don't need to watch the news reports, you can just listen to them like a podcast.
Thanks for these suggestions! I will definitely check some of these out as I love podcasts that teach me something while being entertaining.:)
My favorites of that genre are: No Such Thing as a Fish and The Weirdest Thing I Learned this Week.
Memories of you remind me of you.

This Week in Science -- Very good summary of the science that happens each week. Very clever hosts, been going for over a decade. Tons of comedy too.
