The ones that feel the most like they "get me" are probably Weird Studies and Very Bad Wizards. I'm a fan of Sam Harris's Making Sense podcast too.

When I want to dip into political news, I trust the Fifth Column guys to have fairly measured and reasonable takes with a vaguely libertarian bent. I have a handful of other political shows too from various perspectives of the aisle that I'll sometimes tune into when something big seems to be happening, but I generally don't consume much politics.

Also, I'd be remiss not to mention the excellent Knifepoint Horror, whose creator has been delivering exemplary horror short fiction of a very particular style for over a decade now. I always listen to those basically immediately after they come out.

Granted, there are good podcasts, but I've switched my listening time (mostly commute for in office once a week) to audiobooks. I find books to be much more consistently high quality content, regardless of the source. There are bad books, but the quality tends to be higher than podcasts. I mostly get audiobooks through my library, but I also sometimes listen through Spotify.
