These lists are usually characterized by having RadioLab in the #1 slot. I'm not saying I disagree, RadioLab can be amazing. But the lists do little good for a veteran listener like me if they're all mostly the same.
Other podcasts that frequent such lists are 99% Invisible, Planet Money, Freakonomics, and Stuff You Should Know. Newer lists will include Revisionist History. Those are all good podcasts, deserving of praise, but anybody who's been listening for any amount of time is well aware of them.
As it happened with blogs in the mid-2000s, we are all listening to the same damn 10 podcasts. Discovering quality podcasts based on topic/keyword is almost impossible.
Depends on what you like listening. I listen to Exponents by Ben Thomson, The Tim Ferris Show, This weekend in startups, Freakonomics radio, How I built this and Planet Money
