Who says they aren't rich? Very often, people who listen to investment shows are indeed rich.
They could be like I was. I listened to investment shows and read money magazines when I was about 13 years old. I learned a lot about what to do and not do after I had a million dollars in the bank. Unfortunately, those shows didn't teach me how to get a million. I did a lot of stupid with my money.
After I found Dave Ramsey I significantly reduced my stupid and started quickly increasing my net worth. Dave is still my favorite podcast because it's entertaining and it's a constant reminder to not be stupid anymore.

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.

DLC [5by5.tv] on the 5by5 network. Also available on Google Play [google.com]. Two regular panelists and a guest (or very occasionally two) every week. Comes out every Sunday or Monday on a very regular basis. It's very specifically organized, with segments covering the latest news, what everyone's been playing, frequently a segment on VR, occasionally a segment on board games, and a couple non-video game recommendations at the end of each episode. (Often TV shows, movies, or books, but sometimes really odd stuff.)
Rebel FM [libsyn.com], also available on Google Play [google.com]. This one has been through a number of evolutions over the years, but currently there are three regular panelists and usually no guests. It doesn't have much in the way or organization and they get sidetracked into random subjects on a fairly regular basis. The panelists are all what some would refer to as "SJWs", so if you're easily offended by such things i wouldn't recommend it.
And on a less frequent basis:
The Legendarium [thelegenda...odcast.com], also on Google Play [google.com]. A SF/Fantasy book podcast that usually devotes each episode to a single book. I don't listen to all of these, but will check out episodes for books that i've read or am interested in. There are some quirks about this one that bug me a little, but genre book podcasts are a lot harder to find than video game podcasts. (So i'll definitely be scanning the other comments for any likely recommendations!)
I've been meaning to get back into listening to Retronauts [retronauts.com], also on Google Play [google.com]. I enjoyed it when it was on 1UP but lost track of it after they had to find a new home.
I used to enjoy the various RPGFan podcasts [rpgfan.com], and if i ever catch up on my backlog i'll probably start listening to them again.
I'll also occasionally listen to an episode of the SlashFilmCast [slashfilm.com] if there's a movie i'm particularly interested in hearing them discuss.

He doesn't come across as a know-it-all, even if the questions he asks are kind of off the deep end. He's also sufficiently socially liberal—he's not a complete homophobe, I'm pretty sure he's pro-choice, etc.

I really can't stand the "internet talk radio" style of many podcasts. The banter, forced laughter, etc. just gets to me. I like learning and being entertained, I don't get fulfillment from hearing other people learn or being entertained. That said, the only podcasts I listen to is Freakanomics.
The topics are interesting. There's a very strong focus on genuine research and hard data. For the interviews that are not science-related, they get first-hand sources... such as interviewing former UK Prime Minister David Cameron for a stunningly insightful hour or so.
The only flaw I see in Freakanomics is that (particularly in older episodes), they will sometimes explain the causality of some relationships as "A" when it could even more likely be "B" or "C". That doesn't happen often, but it grinds a little gear in my head when it does because the show is most frequently great about not assuming causality. In fact, that's the actual basis of the book-- questioning causality.
