The Advent of Computing podcast may be of interest. The host really strives to find accurate historical information about a variety of early computing topics.

It also manages to strike a reasonable balance between being an easy listen while going adding some technical depth. For example: you aren't going to learn enough to build your own mercury delay line, but you are going to have a rough idea of how it worked and what the limitations were. It is as much a history of technology as it is of the people behind it.
