Secret History of Hollywood has long 5 hour eps about Hitchcock, Warner Bros, Universal Horror, lots of good stuff. Well researched & very straight-ahead just the facts stuff, not too precious.

The History of Rome podcast started out great but the episodes around the end of the Third Punic War have a high pitched whine via Pocket Casts and I had to bail. I need to try with a different app to see if it's the files that Pocket Cast is downloading.

I wanted to like the Stuff casts but I usually feel like they are just reading a wiki. They are just barely engaging enough to be good for falling asleep to though.
