podcast recs? :D

[sophia_sol]

Well the other week I got a pair of wireless earbuds and all of a sudden I'm capable of being a podcast person, because I can listen to podcasts in one ear while bicycling places and still hear traffic and stuff for safety.

I started with Maintenance Phase, but I'm rapidly staring down the end of their archive, and I need other things to listen to once I'm done it. Which means now I need to find podcasts I enjoy, like a decade behind everyone else! And I'm hoping you, o beloved flist, might be able to help with recs.

What I'm looking for:

1. Nonfiction; if it's fiction I'll run into the same issues I get with listening to audiobooks, where it's too stressful because I don't know what's going to happen and I can't skim or skip ahead to check on things like I can with books, plus I'll want to finish the whole thing in one fell swoop


2. Not true crime or anything adjacent to it, and not about current events/politics; too stressful for me!


3. Telling me details about something the host(s) find(s) interesting - history, prehistory, dinosaurs, birds, arts and crafts, food, books and fandom, language, other cultures, etc


4. Some chatter between hosts is fine, but I'd prefer if it stays fairly focused on the topic at hand

If you know of anything good like this, please let me know so I can give it a try!
