#4I really like the A16Z podcasts. Although a bit startup'y, I like how they bring smart people to talk about the future.

#5Making Sense with Sam Harris.
Sam Harris is very controversial. Yet, IMHO, intellectually honest. Also, his voice is very relaxing lol.

#6The Indicator and Planet Money from NPR

#7My favorite story format podcast is RadioLab. Their recent story, "Punchline" deserves a Webby Award.
For economics and society, I listen to EconTalk.
Sam Harris's show (Making Sense) uses a long interview format that works really well for his show, which explores controversial subjects.
Brian Lehrer on WNYC is my source for local NYC and NJ interests.
The other hundred podcast shows I subscribe to are occasionally listened to.

#9a16z: long and sometimes overwhelming but in a positive way, with great guests from the tech industry
FT Alphachat: my favorite finance-focused podcast with the least buzz, covering one topic in-depth each time
Global News Podcast: daily from the BBC, great for educating yourself on world issues that you otherwise wouldn't hear about, with lots of primary sources and interviews
Stuff You Should Know: two super easy-to-listen-to geeks, geeking out about various topics from ancient history to dyslexia to how things work :)
Y Combinator: solid tech podcast with top-notch guests, and more focused on practicalities and experiences than a16z's abstract, macro-level ideas

#10Mindscape with Sean Carroll. Interview format with a wide range of accomplished guests and interesting topics -- including physics from time to time, as the host is a physicist.
Making Sense with Sam Harris (formerly called Waking Up). He has some really great episodes with intellectually stimulating content and guests, but occasionally he misses the mark or gets caught up in some unnecessary controversy. The episode summaries are very helpful for choosing which episodes are valuable to listen to.
Meta note: I'm a huge fan of the long-interview format which gives a unique opportunity to have these expansive discussions on complex and interesting in the public space. I'd love to find more like the above.
