Mean Boys, F**kFace, Smart enough to know better, Midflight brawl, No such thing as fish
Nextlander, it's some of the OG Giant Bomb guys, I love their video games and industry coverage, and they're such warm comforting guys :-)
I’m working my way through the old episodes of Short History Of and The Soundtrack Show. Both are well written and narrated and worth listening to.
The Soundtrack Show is so great.
My top 6 according to how podcast addict sorts them:
8-4 Play
The Adventure Zone
Brad and Will Made a Tech Pod
538 Politics
Hardcore Gaming 101
Rude Tales of Magic
I'd probably also give shout outs to Self Hosted, Common Descent, Spacepod, the Nature podcast, and Software Engineering Radio.
Tech:

3x netzpolitik aber kein logbuch!? :D
"If you're listening" is anazing, but I have always loved "The Science Show" the best. Both on ABC.
For non-Aussie podcasts, 99% invisible I guess.
The Unmade Podcast (https://unmade.fm/) is probably my GOAT. Brady Haran (from Numberphile, Computerphile, etc.) and his Childhood friend, Tim Hein, come up with wacky ideas for podcasts that they won't actually make. Definitely the funniest podcast I've ever heard.
Hello Internet, also from Brady, with CGP Grey, is also amazing. Though sadly on hiatus.
A bit more teckie:
Languages learning:
I enjoy Adam Ragusea's podcast. It is a bit all over the place sometimes, but it's mostly about cooking related stuff?
French speakers should check out Mike Ward sous écoute. It's just Québec comedians* getting drunk in front of a crowd. I really enjoy it.
Darknet diaries have been named a few times already, but I will also list it, it's just that good haha.
* Google tells me humorist is a word in english but im not sure? It's mostly people doing comedy, not necessarily movies etc.
I dropped the ball a bit on listening to podcasts therefor right now it'd be "This American Life" but normally I also enjoy the Flophouse.
Usually those two:
WANshow from the LinusTechTips team
Darknet Diaries by Jack Rhysider
Darknet Diaries is fantastic!
Dear Hank and John (funny John and Hank Green)
Hardcore History with Dan Carlin
The Debaters (Canadian comedy show where two comedians debate whether something (ex: malls, big weddings, etc) is good/bad and get judged by live audience)
If you like investigative journalism, Someone Knows Something. David Ridgen is fantastic in all of his shows and the care with which he handles delicate subjects is rare.
It's so gorgeously audio designed and mixed, all about ecological preservation, geology, humans place as a part of nature, and many more and tangentially related topics. Headphones are a must.
Blocked Party, a Canadian podcast about getting blocked.
Office Hours w/ Tim Heidecker. Very funny but he also has great musicians and other interesting folks on.
black box down - it is about airplane incidents and goes into detail on how it happened plus what changed in the industry to avoid the issue in the future.
FriendlyJordies.
A locally made one here in Australia - How Other Dads Dad, by Hamish Blake.
The Weekly Planet. Two funny and liberal Aussie guys talk about comics, movies, and TV shows. Mostly the former two. They have a great YouTube channel too.
The Delta Flyers is a great Star Trek podcast about Star Trek: Voyager and more now that they have finished their re-watch of the series.
Mostly industry / work related stuff honestly.
The Kubernetes Podcast from Google
DevOps Paradox
DevOps and Docker Talk
I forgot to mention The Exploring Series in my answer! Glad you mentioned it!
