#22Not necessarily meaningful for technologists, but Joe Rogan's interview of North Korean refugee Yeonmi Park, is up there with reading one of the great fictional dystopian novels (1984, brave new world, fahrenheit451).

#23No Such Thing As A Bad Movie is consistently entertaining and has helped me find some truly weird bad movies, like The Legend of Simon Conjurer and Night Train to Terror. It's my go to when I want to learn about bad movies but don't have the option to watch video (in which case I watch Best of the Worst).

#24I can’t pick a best, but here are the best two:
* The British History Podcast
* The History of English Podcast
Both are very well-made and entertaining. The second might actually be the highest quality series of lectures I’ve ever heard (including sources in person like at university).

#26Besides a few other that have been mentioned, I like You're Wrong About (https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1112270.rss). It covers ... let's say pop culture history, and how we often are ... completely wrong about how certain events really happened.
Atlas Obscura have a podcast, too: https://www.atlasobscura.com/podcast If you like the website, you're probably going to like the podcast as well.
If you know German, I can recommend Sternengeschichten (about astronomy) and Einschlafen Mit Wikipedia (they read articles from the German Wikipedia in a very quiet voice, great for falling asleep, as the title suggests).
Of those already mentioned, Fall Of Civilizations deserves special praise.
