-Anthropocene reviewed (things from out current epoch rated on a 5 pt scale - well worth it)
-Three Right Turns (guy who used to be a religious right winger deconstructs his past political process and tries to explain his current beliefs - it is NOT a bashing show. he makes every effort to respect all positions and talks to people who are also trying reasoned approaches - like the guys from the 'Moving Forward' pod)

Just found another- great if you have kids, but cool even if not

Timestorm

Timestorm is an audio drama series produced by Cocotazo Media with support from PRX and the Google Podcasts creator program. Twelve-year-old twins from Newark, New Jersey, travel back in time to witness, find, and remember their culture's true history. Witness. Find. Remember.

It tells a lot of Puerto Rican history (and some Spanglish) through a time travel trope
2 high school twins are our adventurers
Well produced with good voice talent
