Most of the podcasts I listen to are this format. I think their enjoyment might come down to knowing (or being interested in getting to know) the speakers’ personalities.
Omnibus — Ken Jennings (of Jeopardy fame) and Jonn Roderick (of The Long Winters (or bean dad) fame) take turns on doing a deep dive on some weird but true topic.
Filmcast — Film nerds (David Chen, Devindra Hardawar, and Jeff Cannata) talk about new movies they’ve watched and TV Shows they’re watching
The Incomparable — Geeks talking about various pop culture topics. This is a whole network with various podcasts focusing on different aspects of pop culture. I linked to the “main” feed which is where you’ll usually find new movie releases, but they also go back and discuss movies they’ve watched missed and classic too. Or if you’d rather browse by topic
The Accidental Tech Podcast — Three friends from childhood and professional geeks discuss current technology topics with a heavy focus on Apple from a developer and consumer perspective.
The Rest is History — Two English historians discuss various history topics from around the world at length. They just wrapped up a four part series on Jack the Ripper.
…that should be a reasonable start I hope.
