What sort of socialism podcast are you looking for in particular? Is it something:
- Introductory
- Historical
- Theory-based
- Current affairs-focused
- Casual
I would like to hear some history of both US socialist movements and US action against socialist movements, as well as socialist movements in other countries. I would also like to learn about theory, and current affairs. It’s fine if it’s not all in one podcast, and I’m also open to one-off or series of podcasts focused on these historical aspects.
As someone else recommended in a top-level comment, Blowback is an amazing resource, especially season 2 and 3, which deal with the Cuban Revolution and the Korean War.
Podcasts on US social movements... that's a tough one. You'll hear some episodes covering this on RevLeft Radio but because most socialist movements in the US are either quite small and fragmented or they haven't achieved a whole lot there often isn't a huge amount to cover.
For US actions against socialism, Blowback is really good, as others have already mentioned. Others are American Exception and some episodes of Guerilla History.
For theory, I strongly recommend Red Menace as well as a lot of the stuff produced by Socialism For All. There's also Marx Madness, We Read Theory, Red Book Club, Radical Reviewer (on YouTube), and a lot of the episodes of Teach Me Communism.
For current affairs, there's Citations Needed, Radio War Nerd (specifically about wars), Everybody Loves Communism, The Deprogram, and some of TrueAnon.
While this next recommendation doesn't fit any of your categories, I'd also recommend Actually Existing Socialism because they interview primarily academics on their areas of expertise in socialist movements and it's really underrated, although it can be a bit dry so it might not be to your tastes.
My overall recommendation would be to try out an episode or two of whatever podcasts take your fancy to see if you like the presentation style and if it's to your preferred depth. Some of these podcasts are more conversational and entry-level while some of them go much deeper and lean towards the more academic side. There no right or wrong in this matter, it's just about finding what suits your preference.

There is a scourge haunting 
Citations Needed 
is the official podcast of hexbear.
Newsheads get Radio War Nerd and Newgang gets 
I'm not much of a podcast enjoyer, so I'll throw in some YouTube recs.
- Reimagining Soviet Georgia podcast (also had an episode or two on Yugoslavia)
- Unequal Exchange podcast
- Also if you just want the audio format, for history maybe you could also do audiobooks. For example The Jakarta Method has a recording on youtube
- Geopolitical Economy Report
- Critical Theory Workshop / Atelier du Critique (on YouTube)
The Jakarta Method
The German communist podcast 99 zu 1 did an interview with the author, in english.
Do you have any preferences/topics youre interested in or looking for? I would classify socialist-adjacent podcast in two different camps: podcasts made by socialists who talk about something else, and podcasts about socialism itself. The first one tends to be more entertaining and focused while the hosts openly interpret the topic through their politics , while the latter can be fun and educational while a bit more heavy on the theory/concept side.
For the first bunch i recommend Well There's Your Problem, a podcast about engineering disasters (with slides), and for the latter The Deprogram, we know one or two of the hosts browses hexbear.
At this point, I would like to hear about socialism since I’m somewhat at the “still learning” phase.
Go for The Deprogram! It's light but pretty entertaining and educational, not to mention Hakim is so knowledgeable that he drops dozens of book recommendations for most topics.

Where do chapo trap house and red scare fit into this matrix?
I've heard about half an episode each in friend's vehicles and didn't really hear much socialism but I figure that's how they get you. Pretty soon it's not my friend's car, it's our car.
Next thing you know we'll take your and your friend's toothbrush, too.
Both of those barely fit the 1st category. Most people here (me included) will have choice words about the hosts of either podcast, but let's leave it at them being clueless radlibs, if not worse.
In their current state, I wouldn't even consider them part of a "pipeline" (i guess that's what you meant by "that's how they get you"). True Anon is way more funny and interesting, and the people hosting it seem to have much more coherent politics.
FWIW after the early trump years cracked the facade of liberalism for me, chapo finished the job. Dunno if I'd be here without them.
Early trump chapo hit different though, then the Bernie campaign happened. Rn it's a funny comedy podcast about American politics with hosts a bit less clueless about the ills of capitalism than your average host, but I don't see them introducing anyone to anything else than "both parties fucking suck" as an idea.

The Socialist Program with Brian Becker.
This is Hell
It's a radio show/podcast that's been running for decades. Host Chuck Mertz does great interviews
A few that haven't been mentioned:
By Any Means Necessary, Ak47 - Selections from Alexanda Kollontai, Delete your Account, The East is a Podcast, Groundings, Machete Y Mate, Millenials are Killing Capitalism, Srsly Wrong, This Is Revolution, This Machine Kills, War Nerd Radio, Working People
Against Japanism is a good one I got into that goes into and against the image of Japan that the right tends to build up. The host, Kota, interviews and hosts historians and goes into the leftist movements in Japan both in present day and throughout history.
I like it and I imagine many here will as well.
