We Have Ways of Making You Talk, about WWII, now over 600 episodes. Chatty, inspired, incredible guests. Not all about D-Day and Iwo Jima, but dealing with lesser-known stories and personalities. The hosts are Al Murray and James Holland (whose brother Tom does an excellent podcast called “The Rest is History”.
I give a second recommendation for Quick Question with Soren and Daniel.
I also recommend Belief it or Not. They go through histories of different sect of religion. I am pretty sure one of them grew up pretty religious and went to pastoral school, but I haven’t listened in a bit. I like to get behind and binge on road trips.
Chilluminati Podcast: A mystery, supernatural, true crime, UFO/UAP comedy podcast. The cast has a lot of chemistry and they research into the paranormal with both hopeful naivety and critical skepticism.
Let’s learn everything: Three people passionate about science cover different topics and answer variety questions that delve deep into the world of scientific research.
Lateral: Tom Scott’s quiz show where guests try to answer obtuse and unexpected questions with even more obtuse and convoluted reasoning.
Cox ‘n’ Crendor show: Youtubers Jesse Cox and Crendor do a weekly morning radio show spoof where they just talk about random stuff that happens in their lives.
Play, Watch, Listen: Game devs, writers and actors, get together whenever they have a chance to talk about various topics regarding the world of video games, movies and music. Mainly Alanah Pearce (writer, God of War), but also Troy Baker (voice actor and musician, The Last of US), Mike Bithell (programmer, Thomas was alone) and Rahul Kohli (actor, Midnight Mass).
The Geekenders: Streamer and Youtubers Dodger (Brooke Thorne, Dexbonus) and Jesse Cox gather every weekend to meet a weekly guest and talk about variety topics, mostly about video games. Sort of a spiritual revival of the legendary Cooptional podcast format that was lead by Total Biscuit (John Bain, The cynical brit).
I would also list The Podcats but Daniel Hardcastle (Nerdcubed) can barely be bothered with scheduling recordings with MATN and Mattophobia anymore.
The Beef and Dairy Network: The #1 podcast for those involved, or just interested, in the production of beef animals and dairy herds. Bone-dry gonzo comedy about the globe-spanning world of the Bovine Farmers Union.
Misquoting Jesus: Renowned biblical scholar provides historical discussions of topics related to early Christianity, and the texts in and surrounding the New Testament.
Mindscape: Physicist and professor Sean Carrol has in-depth conversations with experts from a variety of academic disciplines.
Oh No! Ross and Carrie: Two skeptics investigate claims of the paranormal–they show up so you don’t have to. Fantastic investigative journalism.
Mission to Zyxx: Improvised comedy sci-fi podcast that’s one part Star Wars, one part Star Trek, one part Red Dwarf, and all parts silliness.
