My preference is history podcasts with single narrators which are generally a fixed length 45 minutes to an hour.

You Must Remember This A good podcast on the history of Hollywood and has some interesting insights if you're into old movies. This episode on Marilyn Monroe was interesting just to show how little she started out with: http://www.youmustrememberthispodcast.com/episodes/youmustre...

The History of Ancient Greece This can get bogged down in terminology some times, but its necessary due to the amount of detail the podcast gets into. This episode on Pericles and his role in Athenian democracy I found to be interesting because of the details on the extremes they went to: http://www.thehistoryofancientgreece.com/2017/05/044-democra...

Tides of History This has a lot of flavor and is pretty good at framing topics. I really liked the insight that Charles V was in a sense the Paul Atreides of Middle Age Europe. https://wondery.com/shows/tides-of-history/
