I'll throw out a recommendation for:

Important If True


It's generally focused on sort of pop culture / tech news, but is really quite free form in terms of topic. Like any good podcast (IMHO) you end up getting a lot of personal stories from the hosts, etc.

This is a "new" podcast in a technical sense, but the hosts literally just realized they were getting tired of being tied to a nominal video game podcast that constantly wandered off topic (Idle Thumbs) and launched a new show that just focused on the off-topic stuff. So they're bringing years of rapport to the table for this.

Important If True - Idle Thumbs Network

Also while it's basically going to be a sporadic podcast at this point, I would still recommend their original show (Idle Thumbs). It's a different take on video game podcasts than you're going to find elsewhere. They all work in game development, so they are often able to really go deep on game mechanics, writing, and basically the best and worst parts of games and really do a fantastic job discussing why they think those things succeed or fail.
