Dan Carlin's Hardcore History

http://www.dancarlin.com/hardcore-history-series/

Engaging storytelling on some of the selected historic periods or events. Sometimes a little biased but well worth listening to.

In Our Time

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006qykl

It can be hit or miss. But if you find a topic that matches with your interests it is usually very well covered.

The Ezra Klein Show

http://www.vox.com/ezra-klein-show-podcast

I like this guy and he usually has interesting guests.

Penn's Sunday School

http://pennsundayschool.com

Podcast of Penn Jillette (of Penn & Teller) usually pretty random but fun to listen to if you like magic, are an atheist or if you have libertarian views. Quality of episodes varies a lot.

How I Built This - Interviews with entrepreneurs about how they built their companies http://www.npr.org/podcasts/510313/how-i-built-this

Every single episode has been great and many of them aren't purely tech companies which is a nice change from other startup podcasts.

Tanis! OMG Tanis. Found it through a recommendation from Reply All (which is also great). It's a serialized docudrama about mystery, conspiracy, mythology, so much. Give it a shot, it'll hook you.

Close to what you want but not quite:

I am hooked on machinist videos on youtube, Abom, this old tony, NY CNC, even AVE... theres a big list of people showing off how it is done, and I can't get enough of it.

Mystery Show on Gimlet

Just six episodes because the host solves real life (albeit minor) mysteries and it takes a lot of time to do a single one. Each is a gem.

Have you listened to Serial? I was thinking this would be something like that ;)

I have not -- it's different in that it's not a serial story -- each is completely independent.

Also, it's _probably_ funnier since the mysteries are more trivial than murder. Despite that, there are many poignant moments.

S-Town - it's like Serial and is very well done!
