Dan Carlin's Hardcore History

http://www.dancarlin.com/hardcore-history-series/

Engaging storytelling on some of the selected historic periods or events. Sometimes a little biased but well worth listening to.

In Our Time

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006qykl

It can be hit or miss. But if you find a topic that matches with your interests it is usually very well covered.

The Ezra Klein Show

http://www.vox.com/ezra-klein-show-podcast

I like this guy and he usually has interesting guests.

Penn's Sunday School

http://pennsundayschool.com

Podcast of Penn Jillette (of Penn & Teller) usually pretty random but fun to listen to if you like magic, are an atheist or if you have libertarian views. Quality of episodes varies a lot.

How I Built This - Interviews with entrepreneurs about how they built their companies http://www.npr.org/podcasts/510313/how-i-built-this

Every single episode has been great and many of them aren't purely tech companies which is a nice change from other startup podcasts.

Tanis! OMG Tanis. Found it through a recommendation from Reply All (which is also great). It's a serialized docudrama about mystery, conspiracy, mythology, so much. Give it a shot, it'll hook you.
Close to what you want but not quite:

I am hooked on machinist videos on youtube, Abom, this old tony, NY CNC, even AVE... theres a big list of people showing off how it is done, and I can't get enough of it.

Startups For The Rest Of Us

Helps developers, designers and entrepreneurs be awesome at launching software products. Whether they've built their first product or are just thinking about it.

Mystery Show on Gimlet

Just six episodes because the host solves real life (albeit minor) mysteries and it takes a lot of time to do a single one. Each is a gem.

Have you listened to Serial? I was thinking this would be something like that ;)
I have not -- it's different in that it's not a serial story -- each is completely independent.

Also, it's _probably_ funnier since the mysteries are more trivial than murder. Despite that, there are many poignant moments.

S-Town - it's like Serial and is very well done!
