One more new materials source: the New Books Network family of podcasts.

https://newbooksnetwork.com/

Each podcast channel is a set of reviews of new academic publications within a given area. (Books and interviews may feature on multiple channels.) If you're interested in keeping abreast of recent developments across a range of topics, they're a great way to dip your toe in the water.

Production qualities vary tremendously, and yes, there are unlistenable interviews. That said, there are also many excellent ones, and the low production values conceal a great trove of valuable material.
