Any Interesting (Not Disturbing) Podcasts? (programming.dev)

I used to listen to long form essays on Youtube. My favourite ones either break down the history of a conspiracy, teach me something new and cool about the world, or explore a hobby I've never been interested in.

I don't like the ones about killers or heavy drama. I also don't like podcasts that spend half the time reading the latest news from [topic] in verbatim .

What are some podcasts you can recommend me while I chip away at other things?

I've been binging Misquoting Jesus with Bart Ehrman and am really enjoying it. The host has no annoying speech disfluencies and she asks intelligent questions, and Bart Ehrman is always informative and entertaining, plus the little segments at the end and the way they are introduced are also entertaining. Makes me feel like I'm listening to a Monty Python podcast.
