I've been working my way through the BBC series The Cows Are Mad. It's a ten-part mini-series that tries to shed some light on the BSE/vCJD stuff from the 80s and 90s.
I've also listened through Jon Ronson's 2 season series Things Fell Apart, which is on various culture wars over the years. That's well worth a listen to, it covers the roots of abortion becoming an issue as well as many others.
Lolita podcast was absolutely enthralling. The book is a horror story told from the PoV of the monster, but somehow socetiy has turned that in to a "forbidden love" story in absolutely mind boggling ways.
Adding to some good recommendations, some rather popular but not yet mentioned ones: 2 of the "The rest is..." family of podcasts seem rather good to me. Specifically, "The rest is politics" for these who are following the current agenda, and "The rest is history" for these who are fed up with it.
Edit: forgot a more entertainment-oriented one, delivered well in my view. "Clash of the titles" - the guys discuss movies, basically.
Lots. I've so many in my subscription list I'm usually quite late catching up.

I like the random nature of it. This week he chatted at length with a Brummie historian about the history of the British working class, last week he went on a deep dive into wanking wardrobes and an Irish spanking cult. Next week he might talk on mindfulness or meditation.
