Best Non-Finance Podcast

I love podcasts, and I have been tuning in on The Economist, WSJ, CNN, Financial Times and Bloomberg.

However, I am now looking for non-finance related podcasts. Do any of you have any recommendations?

Thanks

Depends what you're interested in. My current lineup is:

- Bill Burr's Monday Morning Podcast - Just bill rambling and ranting twice a week (he's one of my favorite comedians)

- Dan Carlin's Hardcore History - deep, deep dives into mostly military history. Each episode is roughly 3-4 hours but come out every 3-4 months. The free feed has some of his recent series like Blueprint for Armageddon (Western Front WW1), King of Kings (Ancient Persia), and Supernova in the East (Pacific Theater WW2). His earlier episodes are available for purchase (like $2 a show or something cheap like that) include such great series like The Wrath of Khans (Genghis Khan), Ghosts of the Ostfront (Eastern Front, European Theater WW2) and Death Throes of the Republic (Fall of the Roman Republic/Rise of the Roman Empire). 

- Twenty Thousand Hertz - fun podcast about sound design and interesting auditory tidbits. 

- Dissect - Deep dives into various music albums (mostly hip-hop) and goes into a lot of detail analyzing lyrics and the music. S1 and 2 are the best, imo, covering Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp a Butterfly and Kanye West's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. The Frank Ocean season was also good.

- Steven Benedict - Dead podcast, I'm just going through the back catalogue of 400 episodes. These are quick, 10-12 minute episodes that explore a theme, influence, making-of, or whatever he feels like discussing about a specific movie. Each episode only discusses one film, they are easily digestible, very accessible and well researched and thought out.
