It Could Happen Here is often talking about what's going on that week in the world. I wouldn't try to listen to their whole backlog, but I usually catch an episode or two a week.

Behind the Bastards is great. Since I found it (Summer 2020, I'd reckon), I've listened to most of what has come out since.

Cool People who did Cool Stuff is a sort of spin off of btb. Deep dives on people and movements who were resisting the bastards. It's only been going on a couple of years, so the backlog is more manageable if that's your thing.

I listen to Past Times on the Dollop feed most weeks. The Dollop is another deep dive history podcast. On Past Times, they read headlines and articles from different newspaper every week. Usually from the late 19th through early 20th century, but they've gone as far back as the 1600s.

Anything by Jamie Loftus is great. She's mostly done short run things on a single topic. She's on the Bechdel cast, too which I listen to occasionally.

You might enjoy The Deprogram, which has a less daunting backlog.
