The History of Rome by Mike Duncan is amazing. It's a decent commitment but once I started I ate it up.
The Rest is History is a fun history podcast.
I also like Today in History with the Retrospectors.
Definitely not disturbing!
I second The rest is history! Great banter, good history. Been binging it for a while now
Pendejo Time.
Jake, a recovering cokehead, trauma dumps about his time as a drug addicted fuck up and his dead father while his friend Thomas grunts out his fever fantasies about talking animals while googling different types of dicks.
Scratches the same itch as cumtown.

The Art of Manliness
I like Short History Ofβ¦. Itβs written well, interesting from the first sentence, and read well. The topics vary widely, so you have plenty to choose from.
Also The Soundtrack Show might be interesting for you, not sure if that fits your needs.
Not sure if it would appeal or not, but I've spent a good chunk of this year listening to How Other Dads Dad by Hamish Blake, here in Australia. Just a semi-light-hearted look at dadding in the 21st century.
You probably already know about him, but Andrew Huberman is doing an amazing job on bringing science back to the people.
Sleep, motivation, exercise, mental health... everything in the context of neuroscience so you start understanding a bit more everything that happens to you. Protocols to follow, fully explained and backed up by scientific papers, all for the sake of your health. Amazing source of information.
The Blindboy Podcast. An artist from Limerick delivered a mix of sizzling hot takes on a variety of topics, reads short stories from his books, lives interviews with range of interesting guests, or talks art, psychology, creativity and what not. Can be quite eccentric at times .
I used to love Reply All before Alec Goldman's shenanigans (awful behavior) came to light. So it was a real bright spot for me to find that PJ's pod has almost everything I loved about Reply All. He's willing to pursue things past the point any reasonable person with a job would and I love it. If you want a deep dive about whatever rabbit hole that takes his interest for the episode, it's a great place imo.

Pod Yourself A Gun/Pod Yourself the Wire - a rewatch podcast of The Sopranos and The Wire hosted by a pair of comedians and a guest where they go through each show episode by episode.
Science and Tech:
1-Stuff you should know. 2-Skeptics guide to the universe. 3-Programming throwdown.
Gaming:
1-Get played. 2-Triple click.
Comedy and movies and music:
1-Comedy bang bang. 2-How did this get made? 3-With Gourley and Rust. 4-Bizarre albums.
Other:
1-Scam goddess. 2-Qanon anonymous.
Helps you sleep:
-Sleep with me.
I second How did this get made, though now that Stitcher is gone their back catalog isn't available anywhere so you have to just get current episodes ( I'm a completionist so that bugs me).
I also enjoy history vs. But I mainly listened to it because of their series on Teddy Roosevelt. It was fantastic. I recommend it , but I think they cover a lot of different topics so YMMV based on the individual series/topic being covered.
I like the Triple J Dr. Karl podcast for easy listening. Basically people call the radio and ask science questions.
Mike Duncan's History of Rome?
@actual_patience If you like Adam Conover's stuff or enjoyed Adam Ruins Everything (man what a great show) you should check out his podcast Factually. Adam can be a bit high energy in his delivery for like, background listening, but the content is good.
NOTHING SEXUAL
The Rest is History
Been listening to this lately, loving it. Always keeps it entertaining, stays true to the discipline, and I'm always learning a lot.
"our fake history" is a pretty good match to what you're describing. It's a relatively light hearted, rigorously researched, history podcast with a focus on misunderstood historical figures and events.
"The plastic plesiosaur podcast" is a really fun podcast more focused on cryptids and pop science.
One of the host to plastic plesiosaur has a YouTube channel called "trey the explainer" which is worth a watch.
And if you like low key, entertaining deep dives into machining or tech, check out "technology connections," "this old Tony," and "tech moan."
Articles of Interest by Avery Trufelman. It's about clothes. It's very good, her voice is very nice.
