The New York Times' Book Review
The Cinephiliacs
Desert Island Discs
Slate's Hit Parade
Linoleum Knife
Kermode & Mayo's Film Review, aka Wittertainment
Pop Rocket
You Must Remember This

Politics and history
The History of Rome
Slate's Whistlestop

Technology-ish

I don't really listen to podcasts, but I'd like to. Any podcasts that tell a story?

Revolutions (and its predecessor, The History of Rome)
Hardcore History
The Dollop
The Shutdown Fullcast
The Solid Verbal
Podcast Ain't Played Nobody
The Nolecast
Spontainianation
History of Westeros
The Thrilling Adventure Hour (now over)

I'd recommend Revolutions to anyone and everyone who frequents Atlas. It covers interesting historical periods in an accessible and easy to understand narrative. I'd recommend the Shutdown Fullcast to any college football fans. It's hilarious. For fiction, I'd point people to the Thrilling Adventure Hour, especially the Beyond Belief segments. It was great, ended too soon. Welcome to Nightvale is also a long narrative...but it kinda gets lost in itself after a while.

NPR's Serial is very popular and well-received.

Mike Duncan's Revolutions and his already finished History of Rome both tell stories by the thousands.

The Thrilling Adventure Hour (now over)
I'm still working my way through this, good stuff.  Beyond Belief is great, I like Marshal on Mars a lot too.  Every time I see Mark Evan Jackson (Captain Holt's husband on Brooklyn 99) on something (and it's a lot) I say "and I'm from Earth" and my wife thinks I'm crazy.

I'm an avid viewer of Bloggingheads.tv (and especially anything with Glenn Loury), which I guess is digestible in podcast form.

Dan Carlin has a new podcast, Hardcore History:addendum.  Only two eps so far.  One an interview with other bad ass history podcaster Mike Duncan and the other is "which was better, Germany's military during WWI or Germany's military during WWII", both as awesome as they sound.

Hardcore History is by far the best if you're remotely interested in history, especially the episodes about Rome (Punic Nightmares, Celtic Holocaust, and the super-long and detailed Death Throes of the Republic).

I've been listening through The History of Rome lately, and it's very engrossing.

I also like History on Fire, which is narrated by an actual professor, though with a thick Italian accent so you have to listen carefully. It's good, but not quite as much so as the above 2.
