Most of the time I find podcasts by accident.
Hard Core History - (Every series he makes is great but "Blueprint for Armageddon" describes WWI better than I ever heard it described and it is a masterpiece. Unfortunately that particular series is old enough that it is only on Dan Carlin's website for sale, but his new shows are free.)
Coverville - A very well curated music show that is all cover songs and has been running since 2004. Somewhere around 2005 I was working at the postoffice, and that show got me through the day. It is still the best music show I know of.
Hardcore History is really great, +1 on that recommendation.
Also his Common Sense series is pretty good. Very rare updates, they tend to jumpscare me when they pop up
Going back and listening to common sense when he did it regularly is an interesting history trip in itself. I don't usually recommend it now, not as an ongoing show anyway, mostly because I keep thinking he might never do another one, but he does do one when something legitimately important happens that isn't just a partisan scoreboard talking point, and it is always a good listen.
