Speaking of Psychology

The American Psychological Association's own interview show, hosted by Kim Mills. Each episode puts one or two working researchers in front of a single question, such as why nostalgia can be good for you or how people respond to extreme weather risks, and lets them explain the findings in their own words. The format is plain and dependable: no dramatized storytelling, no host monologues, just a clear conversation with someone who did the work. Being the profession's own podcast, it is better at explaining what the research says than at challenging it, which makes it a good complement to the more argumentative shows on this list.
