I think there is a similar thread on here somewhere - but instead of fishing around for it:
1. Hidden Brain
2. Revisionist History (Malcolm Gladwell)
3. Planet Money
All are NPR programs.

Agree with above, also recommend:
Living Planet (environment)
Radiolab (general knowledge)
Backstory (history)
BBC Discovery (general knowledge)
Science Friday (science)

I’m trying My Favorite Murder, but I find the banter too long, distracting, and irritating. But I haven’t tuned into their sense golf humor yet. Right now I’m not going to bother to learn to like them. YMMV.
Agree with Radiolab mentioned above.

Joe Rogan (current affairs & mma)
I like Joe too, but amusingly I don't give half a crap about his MMA podcasts, which filters out about half of them. :P
-
Agree with Rogan, I think he might be the best modern interviewer. If you can put up with his pseudo intellectual side, he can have some great conversations.
-
Another vote for the Art of Manliness. The ultimate in non-toxic masculinity.
-
A couple other NPR ones that I've enjoyed:
- More Perfect (about the Supreme Court)
- The Uncertain Hour (stories from the Marketplace Wealth and Poverty Desk)
Others I've enjoyed:
- Dirty John (binged this one)
- The Numberphile Podcast (this one is just getting started but I like it so far - I guess he has a YouTube channel and is exploring the content in podcast form; math topics)

The grand daddy of all podcasts is still my fave - This American Life. Been listening to that for over a decade and there's nothing like it out there.
The Ezra Klein Show - he not only interviews fascinating people but gets really deep and pushes people really hard, sometimes, on what they are saying - not just letting them get away with making their fave talking points without being questioned on them. It's often politics, but he also covers lots of cultural and some science topics.
Lots of other good ones mentioned here. The only one I didn't see mentioned (also sort of a grand daddy of podcasting) is Dan Savage's Savage Lovecast. I have learned so much about fetishes and kinks and all kinds of interesting stuff listening to Dan for the last6 years or so. It's certainly one way I get out of my personal bubble and take in other, different POVs!
Ok - just one more: Criminal. It's true crime, but bite-sized and easy. You can listen to just one episode if you like, as it's not serialized, and they are usually like 25-30 minutes long.
-
Wait, one more! A History of the World in 100 Objects, by BBC Radio 4 and the British Museum, is so fascinating. I'm thinking of listening to it again soon, as I listened originally when it came out circa 2010 and I have such fond memories of waiting for the next new episode.

Pardon My Take

Joe rogan , bill burr, adam corolla(although his political crap lately is too much for me) and the thesmokingtire podcasts are great !

-

1. The Fighter and the Kid

This one didn't pop into my head when I first made my list but I will second this recommendation, if you're into math.

If you like statistics try this,
http://dataskeptic.com/
It's a husband and wife, the husband bounces questions off his wife and then launches explainations from her response. I never had a statistics class, but I enjoy it.
If you have an interest in science and by science I mean the very wide range from Astronomy to The Mind to electronics to math to Engineering, try Science 360. Here's the home page, well over 100 topics. They call them radio broadcasts, but you can listen when you want.

Up first from NPR. 15 minute news brief at the beginning of the day. Love this one for my short commute.

Another vote for this one, I listen to it every day. Also:
Heavyweight - in each episode the narrator helps a different friend explore some regret from their past and work it to resolution; it’s uplifting and the narrator’s comic timing is awesome.
The Future of Everything from the Wall Street Journal - this one is fun to hear about the edge of technology in a given area and where it is headed.
