It's not a leftist podcast at all, but Revolutions by Mike Duncan is a history podcast series that covers some great times of leftist ideas. Season 3 is the French revolution, 6 is the July revolution, 7 is the spring of the people, 8 is the Paris Commune, 9 is the Mexican revolution (Zapatistas), and 10 is currently coming out and is on the Russian revolution.
The first 8 episodes of season 10 are a history of Socialism, communism, and anarchism. There are episodes like Historical Materialism, The Three Pillars of Marxism, The Adventures of Mikhail Bakunin. This is not a leftist podcast at all, and tries to take an unbiased historical approach, but there's always some bias.
Revolutions may not be a leftist podcast, but Revolutions is the podcast that turned me into a leftist.
I listened to those episodes near the release date (and subsequently fell off from listening because I couldn't remember all the hundreds of important people week-to-week) but those episodes about the history of socialism were super great. Mike did a great job of concisely laying out the founding tenants.
You forgot the Haitian Revolution.
