Since no one else has said it... 80 days podcast:
80 Days is a podcast dedicated to exploring little-known countries, territories settlements and cities around the world. We're part history podcast, part geography podcast and part ramble. Each episode, we'll land in a new locale and spend some time discussing the history, geography, culture, sport, religion, industry, pastimes and music of our new location.
Ologies is very good. Every week they pick a topic and sit down with an expert in the field, from penguins to vampires to apples to near death experiences to sea worms, and everything else in between.
Not sure if it would appeal or not, but I've spent a good chunk of this year listening to How Other Dads Dad by Hamish Blake, here in Australia. Just a semi-light-hearted look at dadding in the 21st century.
Science and Tech:
1-Stuff you should know. 2-Skeptics guide to the universe. 3-Programming throwdown.
Gaming:
1-Get played. 2-Triple click.
Comedy and movies and music:
1-Comedy bang bang. 2-How did this get made? 3-With Gourley and Rust. 4-Bizarre albums.
Other:
1-Scam goddess. 2-Qanon anonymous.
Helps you sleep:
-Sleep with me.
I second How did this get made, though now that Stitcher is gone their back catalog isn't available anywhere so you have to just get current episodes ( I'm a completionist so that bugs me).
I also enjoy history vs. But I mainly listened to it because of their series on Teddy Roosevelt. It was fantastic. I recommend it , but I think they cover a lot of different topics so YMMV based on the individual series/topic being covered.
Pod Yourself A Gun/Pod Yourself the Wire - a rewatch podcast of The Sopranos and The Wire hosted by a pair of comedians and a guest where they go through each show episode by episode.
I used to love Reply All before Alec Goldman's shenanigans (awful behavior) came to light. So it was a real bright spot for me to find that PJ's pod has almost everything I loved about Reply All. He's willing to pursue things past the point any reasonable person with a job would and I love it. If you want a deep dive about whatever rabbit hole that takes his interest for the episode, it's a great place imo.

What did Alec Goldman do? I know what PJ did but this is the first I'm hearing about Alec.
The Blindboy Podcast. An artist from Limerick delivered a mix of sizzling hot takes on a variety of topics, reads short stories from his books, lives interviews with range of interesting guests, or talks art, psychology, creativity and what not. Can be quite eccentric at times .
You probably already know about him, but Andrew Huberman is doing an amazing job on bringing science back to the people.
Sleep, motivation, exercise, mental health... everything in the context of neuroscience so you start understanding a bit more everything that happens to you. Protocols to follow, fully explained and backed up by scientific papers, all for the sake of your health. Amazing source of information.

I like Short History Ofβ¦. Itβs written well, interesting from the first sentence, and read well. The topics vary widely, so you have plenty to choose from.
Also The Soundtrack Show might be interesting for you, not sure if that fits your needs.
No Such Thing as a Fish - It's light and comedic, each presenter explains a little known bizarre or extraordinary fact and the others riff off from it. There's no specific discipline of study it follows, and it doesn't do any deep dives, but it's fun to listen to while doing the dishes.
Mr. Ballen is good if your into true crime and random medical mysteries.
This Podcast Will Kill You - this podcast is only disturbing if you find medical issues disturbing. Each episode discusses a disease, medical issue or some kind of medical history. I think it's really interesting.
Hidden Brain - goes into a bunch of different topics about how we see and interpret the world. Very well done.
You're Wrong About - talks about popular misconceptions and such.
Science VS - Talks about science stuff in a fun and entertaining way.
People already mentioned Behind the Bastards and I really like that one but it can be hit or miss. Don't start with the newest episode, instead look for one that sounds like an interesting tooic to you and start there. When it's good it's very good.
History of the World in Spy Objects - ok I actually just found this one and haven't had a chance to listen to an episode yet but it looks good and sounds like it might be interesting to you.
Lore - it's very well done about dark historical takes
