I don't listen to podcasts as much as I used to but these were the ones I liked

Darknet Diaries - Stories about viruses, hacks, penetration testing and similar stuff. Basically war stories from cyberspace explained in a way dummies like me can understand.

Hardcore History - Long form and in depth look at different eras in human history. The host likes to focus on the human stories and does a great job at keeping things interesting.

Time Suck - Comedian talks about history, true crime, cults, myths, legends and other interesting stories. A lighter take on some darker subjects

99 Percent Invisible - A podcast about design that people see or use all the time but rarely give a second thought. Trains, buildings, kids books, movie theaters, bikes and more

Since we share 2 out of 4 favorites I have to check out the design one! A book I really enjoyed at the time was The Design Of Everyday Things. It really opened my eyes to the level of attention to detail put on almost everything around us.
