99pi and Changelog are great!

I listen to a lot of podcasts, in alphabetical order:

A Million Little Gods <- Serious but accessible philosophy discussions, Season 2 was an absolutely mind-blowing discussion of "race"

Bundyville <- Limited series about the far-right movement in the western USA

Fandible <- Personal favourite actual-play RPG podcast, geeky but I love it

Freakonomics Radio <- I resisted at first because of the brand name, but the general content is so good.

Functional Design in Clojure <- Exactly what it says, works surprisingly well as a podcast. I really appreciate that it's "intermediate-level", and really focused on "how do you build real software"

Lexicon Valley <- Incredible and well-presented linguistics topics w/ some idiosyncratic music choices thrown in

JS Party <- from the same folks that make changelog. I honestly don't listen to every episode after the change in format after the incredible Season 1, but I stay subscribed and listen when the topic grabs my attention.

Sinica <- I came for the China content, but I stayed because these are the smartest conversations I hear about any topic anywhere.

Software Engineering Radio <- I don't listen to every episode, but it's good when it's good, mentioned by a few other commenters.

Stuff You Missed in History Class <- well worth an archive binge, there's a LOT of fascinating content deep inside.

This American Life <- I still listen even though I don't live in America anymore. :-)
