For the Dutch speakers among us:
The Universiteit van Vlaanderen and -Nederland episodes are frequently very interesting and while the titles are clickbait, the speakers are from academia and often tell interesting things. I regularly talk about this with friends and family. As an example, today I learned new things about palliative care that would apply to anyone who contracts a terminal illness, which is a lot of us. Another impactful episode was (translated) "Was the holocaust a predetermined plan?" (from UvNL) which was about how it developed from the Jews being the blame of everything through multiple intermediate steps to attempting to kill all Jews. Rather than having been a single man's hate for those people, it was more about society's mindset combined with that those people were seen as highly likely to be saboteurs. I think that's good to know about to try and recognize similar signs, if any, in today's life.
Met Nerds Om Tafel is another general recommendation, though the quality depends on the episode's topic and the "guest nerd", so I recommend looking at the title before listening. I liked S05E21 with Mux about electric driving a lot and it was quite inspiring to see what he does with hardware hacking while still daring (and being allowed to) to drive the modded car on a public road, as well as the general mindset of someone who is not just good with tech or software but also knows electronics really really well. Everything that I take for granted (motherboards, cars, whatever) is a development board for him.
