belatedly catching up on entries and saw this again! still stand by my recommendation for the black tapes podcast, and potentially tanis, its sibling podcast. (it isn't as good, but the production on both of them is still pretty wonderful.)

ars paradoxica is one that i've started listening to recently. i struggle with descriptions, especially so when ars paradoxica is, by virtue of what it's about, pretty convoluted at times. there's a description on their website, here. it starts out with a female physicist who accidentally sends herself back to the 1940s. the end of the description makes it sound... deeply patriotic, which is a thing that makes me cringe? but i haven't really had that feeling when listening to it. i've been enjoying it so far, though find it suffers from... a lack of distinctive voices, so i sometimes have difficulty with characters. (i did not realize how much i appreciated this with other podcasts i listened to.) unsure if this would captivate you, though.

otherwise, i haven't listened to too many, but i'm keeping an eye out for them. i have more "i can't quite focus but still want background noise" podcasts than serial ones, unfortunately!

alternatively: podcake is pretty ever-present on both tumblr and twitter in podcast communities. i haven't looked through their blog, but know they do reviews and also interview podcasters.

radio drama revival also pops up a lot, though i'm not as familiar with them.
