I'm looking to stock up on podcasts, whether in Mandarin, French or English. Don't worry about my tastes I'll sort it out later
But share good podcasts in other languages if you know any (it might be useful for other people)

I mostly go for nonfiction stuff related to current events or history. Unfortunately some of these aren’t free.
Slow Burn - Each season goes deep on a particular event in recent (US) history. Quality falls off a bit after the first few seasons.
Fiasco - produced and hosted by the the guy that did the first 2 seasons of Slow Burn. Also US centric.
History on Fire - Haven’t listened to too much of this yet but was suggested the episode on Ötzi the Iceman which made me a fan. Probably the only one on here that isn’t US centric.
Throghline from NPR. Another history-ish podcast but focuses on current issues and the history behind them.
Going to check out some of these suggestions.
