Cautionary Tales is my favourite podcast. Most episodes concern either interesting (mis)use of statistics or cognitive biases, both of which are topics I find inherently interesting, but Tim Harford and team do a brilliant job of the storytelling too.

Tim Harford's other podcasts are great too - More or Less, and 50 Things Which Made the Modern Economy.

Does anyone have any recommendations along similar lines?

He also hosted 'How to Vaccinate the World', and interviewed some heavy-hitters like Bill Gates. The series is over now but was very interesting.
