If you want to get into laptop general mode, the War on the Rocks podcast is pretty interesting.

This is excellent, just the free one on Apple.
Edit
Enjoyed the more recent ones with the head or US Marines, US Air Force and US Deputy Secretary of Defense. -
Monty Betham's Once a Warrior podcast is really good, he interviews ex and current Warriors. Sadly it has just recently ended as it looks like Monty is now on the very much not good in house Warriors podcast (which I think originated that stupid saying), but theres a couple of seasons of episodes there.

One of my fall back pods is Empire with William Dalrymple and journo Anita Ananad - another of the Goalhanger stable. I like it but they drop three hour long episodes a week so I am months behind.
What I did catch over the weekend was Dalrymple being interviewed by Kim Hill on her new long interview podcast https://www.rnz.co.nz/podcast/kim-hill-wants-to-know
It's very Hill. Well researched, wide ranging, assumes the listener has a brain - but if you don't like Hill it's definitely not for you. I found Dalrymple a fascinating interview and it's given me some more history rabbit holes to dive down.
The pod looks interesting Five episodes to date including Michael Gladwell, Boris Johnson as well as Dalrymple -

I'm in a weird place with podcasts at the moment, most of the history ones seem to cover the same topics so I'm finding I'm increasingly hearing the same stories multiple times. Which isn't a bad thing considering my memory isn't that great and I tend to have my mind wander while walking and listening to podcasts so will often miss parts.
Who shat on the floor at my wedding?
