One of the better, newish podcasts I loved was Rabbit Hole about how the internet indoctrinates us to be extreme versions of ourselves by only showing us the extreme news we agree with.
I'm a big urban planning nerd, so I listen to those podcasts:
99% Invisible
Talking Headways
Invisible City
The Energy gang
The more general podcasts I like are:
Radiolab
Alice isn't Dead
Welcome to Nightvale (sometimes)
Revisionist History (I'm aware everyone hates Malcolm Gladwell)
Deep State Radio
