Quick edit. I had no idea pod casts were so popular. Thank you all for posting. I have a lot of content to check out.
Citations Needed, excellent reporting on the way corporate news distorts various issues to shape public opinion, occasionally with historical examples going back to the antebellum period.
I'm seeing a lot of stuff with the lable citations needed, who is the creator?

Lefty lawyers discuss Supreme Court cases and why the Supreme Court sucks. They've got a backlog going back years, covering 100+ cases with analysis for every decision, concurrence, and dissent. Also special episodes discussing specific Justices and their jurisprudence, a miniseries about the Federalist Society, and lots of eps about law school in general.
On the subject of the US Supreme Court, I can also recommend What Roman Mars Can Learn About Con Law.
It started out as What Trump Can Teach Us About Con Law, in which 99% Invisible host Roman Mars talked with US SC expert Elizabeth Joh about the various constitutional crises Donald Trump kept driving the country into. But then Biden got elected, so they made it more general. It’s still fascinating though.
The Formosa Files. Two history geeks living in Taiwan, giving an incredible look into its past. I am not a history guy, but a friend recommended it. I started listening to give it a quick listen. I can't put it down. Absolute hidden treasure.

Pretty much every single episode is the funniest goddamn thing I've ever heard
Their story of being at the last tenacious d show is gold standard shit
The Darknet Diaries. It covers cyber crime and security and they have a lot of interesting episodes.
The freedom for flash drives is a particularly interesting one.
So many good ones. I'll just paste the (slightly edited) podcast descriptions of three I enjoy here:
Twenty Thousand Hertz A lovingly crafted podcast that reveals the stories behind the world's most recognizable and interesting sounds.
Under the Influence Under the Influence gives listeners a rare backstage pass into the hallways, boardrooms and recording studios of the ad industry. Fascinating (and humorous) stories that connect the dots between pop culture, marketing and human nature.
Freakonomics Radio Uncovers the hidden side of everything. Why is it safer to fly in an airplane than drive a car? How do we decide whom to marry? Why is the media so full of bad news? Also: things you never knew you wanted to know about wolves, bananas, pollution, search engines, and the quirks of human behavior.
Pendejo Time.
Jake and Thomas are two guys with fucked up pasts, just shooting the shit and improvising.
The only podcast that scratches the cumtown itch.
My favourite bit:

I've really been enjoying ranged touch network of podcasts lately. They have: Baldur's Gate replay podcasts (mages and murder dad's), Stephen King book podcasts (just King things), fallout games podcast (too much future), video game academia discussion (game studies study buddies), sci fi/fantasy book club (shelved by genre), A homestar runner retrospective podcast (homestuck made this world)
I think they're leftists, they're certainly anti-liberals at least, and they are funny and knowledgeable about things and I always learn more about anything when I listen to their content.
I'm a huge fan of Small Town Murder. 2 comedians discussing a different murder (even the odd serial killer) each week.
Dan Carlin's history podcasts are amazing. No ads or anything so you don't have to sit through 15 minutes of sponsors
Depends on what you're looking for. Most generally, I'd suggest Conan O'Bien Needs A Friend. Aside from the excessive ad breaks, the guests and discussions are almost always interesting.
MoneroTalk and MoneroTopia. The hosts and guests passionately care about human freedom through economic freedom and it's a really wonderful podcast.
What if instead of fiat it was ones and zeros and you could buy carfentanil with it
