Dan Carlin's Hardcore History
In "Hardcore History" journalist and broadcaster Dan Carlin takes his "Martian", unorthodox way of thinking and applies it to the past. Was Alexander the Great as bad a person as Adolf Hitler? What would Apaches with modern weapons be like? Will our modern civilization ever fall like...

I like the bloke behind it, Michael Kofman.
I'm gonna recommend one of the OGs of history podcasting: Mike Duncan.
He did the History of Rome and Revolutions.

I can commend the Talking Strategy podcast by RUSI.
www.rusi.org
The hosts don't tend to intervene much, so it's mostly a series of guest lectures on various strategic thinkers. Falling in the range of 20-40 minutes each, they're hardly in-depth, but as someone without any formal strategic training it's a good collection of names to start with (if one is inclined to dig deeper) or a nice overview for the layperson.
I would say the first episode, Sir Julian Corbett and the British Way of War*, is quite a strong one as it clearly sets out the environment the strategy was developed in and explains the context well, so it's a good place to start to determine whether you'll like it or not.
*hint: it involves a navy, but it's actually a bit more comprehensive than just 'naval strategy'

Big fan of Brendan James and Noah Kulwin's Blowback.
A critical look at American foreign policy. The first season covered the Iraq War, season 2 looked at the Cuban Revolution and season 3 (I'm still working my way through it) is on the Korean War.
Very well-researched, and each season has a bibliography broken down by episode -- fantastic stuff.
