I listen to a lot of basic news stuff like Rachel Maddow and Chris Hayes, not because those are particularly good, but just to feed my addiction to news…
One podcast I genuinely enjoy and find hilarious though, is If Books Could Kill with Michael and Peter. Sometimes I disagree with their takes, but I always find them hilarious. Website: https://www.ifbookspod.com/. 100% recommend :)
In English, I personally listen to and can recommend 99% invisible, no such thing as a fish and stuff you should know.
99% invisible: started as a podcast explaining small design /architectural choices which you never noticed before but are everywhere and why they make such a difference (like marks on windows where it is a good place to enter a burning building with a ladder lift), but is now a bit broader than that. American made so a bit american focused as well.
No such thing as a fish: factbased talk with 4 hosts, most of them comedians, based around facts, from the team who created/creates? the questions for QI on the BBC. Always good fun to listen to.
Stuff you should know: two men explaining random stuff which you probably have heard of but don’t know the fine details about, like how vaccines work, how gerrymandering works, … American made so focus on America again, and quite heavy on adds, so keep that fast-forward-button of antennapod nearby! ( I’ve had antennapod configured to that pressing next song button skips 20 seconds, makes it very easy to skip commercials in the car or on bike.)
Those podcasts all are still active, I’ve also listened with pleasure to a couple of series which were just a number of stories:
Uncharted with Hannah Fry: stories on how math solved a big problem, from BBC sounds so very nice audio
I started with the missing Cryptoqueen , also from BBC sounds, but stopped listening after a while because I had less time to listen. Audio was great again, so I recommend checking out BBC sounds.
A thriller in which you, the listener, are the hero. The Walk begins in Inverness station, Scotland. Through a case of mistaken identity, you, “the walker,” are given a vital package that must be couriered to Edinburgh. But as you’re about to board the train, terrorists blow it up and set off an electromagnetic pulse! None of the cars or trains are working - you’ll have to walk - but now the terrorists are on your trail because they want the device you’re carrying, and the police are after you as a suspect in the bombing. To survive, you’ll have to join up with other escapees from the city - but how many of them can you trust, and are they really who they say they are?
Me too friend. My usage looks very similar. Only SM is Jeroba. Antenna pod is number 1, others are Spotify and Voice (audio books).
Any podcast recommendations?

Awesome! I’ll check these out. BBC Sounds is great.
Here’s my recommendation for unique immersive audio fiction:
