Conversations with Tyler Cowen, Complex Systems with patio11 are two off the top of my head that concentrate on useful information, and certainly aren't "> 90% fluff and human interaction sounds".

Unless of course people talking in any capacity is human interaction sounds, in which case, yes, every podcast is > 90% human interaction sounds.

Thanks. I didn't realize 'patio11 even has a podcast, I'll definitely want to listen to that one.

No, I specifically mean all the thing that is not content - hellos, jokes, emoting, interrupting, exchanging filler commentary, etc. It may add character to the show, but from the POV of efficiently summarizing a topic, it's fundamentally even worse than the enterprisey BS fluff in the example in question.

There is a whole subcategory of wonkish podcasts, which I consider Patio11 to be the gold standard, where it is just two people having an information dense discussion. They don't tend to make it as far in the charts as the tech bro podcasts, but once you find them, they are GOLD.
