EconTalk is my current favorite. Around 700 episodes since 2006 on a variety of subjects: education, healthcare, public debt, etc. The host dives quite deep into each subject and asks the interviewees tough questions. I always feel like I've learnt something from each episode.

I want to second EconTalk. Fantastic podcast. He is very much a free-market economist tho. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but I think he is of Austrian school of economics?

Nonetheless, humanity shines through in his conversations. I'd say this podcast is more about human condition through economics. Cannot recommend it enough. Some of my favs

Yes he's a little more free-market than I am. But I like that he's at least willing to consider the other side's position and invites guests who don't agree with his positions often.
