Hey everyone, I'm looking for some good in-depth space podcasts. I got into Startalk with Neil DeGrasse Tyson a few months ago and have listened to a ton of the episodes, but I've been trying to branch out and find more information heavy podcasts and ended up checking out the Cool Worlds podcast which is much more informative than Startalk IMO, while I still like that it definitely feels like they lean more into entertainment rather than informational content.

I'd like to find some more in-depth discussions about Astronomy and Astrophysics, I'm a huge space nerd so I prefer it to be more in-depth even if some of it will potentially go above my head. I've been reading Astronomy stack exchange questions for months now as my bedtime reading, and even though a ton of the answers go into complicated math/physics that I can't understand, I still love it, so I'd like to find the same thing in podcast format if possible.

Any recommendations for some good podcasts about space?

Bonus question, what are some good space audiobooks? Not sci-fi, I already have a big list of things I want to listen to/read but actual informative books based on Astronomy/Astrophysics. I've already gone through Welcome to the Universe by Michael Strauss but it's not the greatest as a strict audiobook since it frequently references diagrams in the accompanying PDF. I have a job that allows me to listen to whatever I want all day, but I can't be stopping what I'm doing to look at something, merely listen.

Thanks!

Edit: Already getting some great answers, thank you all for the suggestions! It's much appreciated.

A bit more spaceflight than astronomy, but I enjoy Main Engine Cut Off by Anthony Colangelo. Roughly half an hour of spaceflight news/updates, a couple times a month.
