For Spanish speakers I recommend 'Las Hijas de Felipe', about medieval/modern History (herstory?). They usually cover mundane things, rather than battles or empires.

Vulgar history
I was a huge fan of The No Sleep Podcast specially during the early seasons. But recently they've been trying so much unnecessary stuff which kind of takes away the whole fun of listening to it. They also started advertising brands after every story. Definitely recommend listening to the first few seasons though if you like horror.
They had me at "Ron Stampler hides in his pants."
Thartharaa, stories from history told in a way that makes them very moving, bro like I cried one time or two
- The Unmade Podcast - Podcast about podcasting ideas
- Smashing Security - IT security news
- Eagle Nine: Locked - Story podcast
- World's Greatest Con - Season 1 is about misleading Nazis on DDay, Season 2 is about Game show cheating, Season 3 is about infilitrating research about the paranormal.
I have three that I listen to: Distractible, Brain Leak, and Go! My Favorite Sports Team.
We're Alive is a great story! Top notch production quality also.
If you enjoy HHGTTG, the podcast Star Tripper, has a similar vibe. Good story too.
I really admire these two β Radiolab and 70 over 70
Three major ones for me: Dudesy, What's It Called, and Never Seen It. All great comedy podcasts!
Kerning Cultures should be on the list of everyone who likes 99PI and This American Life. It's like those two shows had a baby and it grew up in the Arab world.
I love shows like that!
I am not sure how it doesn't seem like these have been listed yet, maybe they are too obvious. But here is my list:
-Radiolab (Amazingly well told stories about every topic)
-Reply All (Hilarious dudes talking about internet trends and memes mostly)
-More Perfect (Essentially RadioLab but specifically focused on interesting supreme court history)
Reply All has wrapped up sadly. I like Radiolab, but sometimes it feels like "doot dootily doo, SCIENCE".

Shagged Married Annoyed
I like brittish comedy, but I'm not brittish myself :)
Decoder Ring Theatre, phenomenal audio drama podcast that got better as time went on
I really like The Lost Drivein if I just want to tune out and laugh, their movie review style is pretty entertaining
I started getting into True Crime podcasts. So far, I'm liking these
- Crime Junkie
- True Crime Couple
- Casefile
- Unsolved Murders: True Crime Stories (Although I don't listen to this anymore because it's a Spotify exclusive. It is pretty good tho.)
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
S1 and s2 of in the dark
