I went on a philosophy podcast search a few years ago, and here are the podcasts that actually stuck with me:

Philosophize This! - Coming in as someone with a pretty poor conception of 20th century philosophy, this was good for getting a quick survey of philosophy that doesn't assume prior knowledge. The host can be a little obnoxious, but it was a good foundation.

History of Philosophy Without Any Gaps - If you want to go hard on background, this is the podcast to go for. I got about 100 episodes in, and do not think I even hit 0AD. Looking at their website, I think they're in the 1600s right now with episode numbers in the 400s. The host is a little dry, but not bad.

Plastic Pills - This is the philosophy podcast I ended up on, which I really strongly like. The hosts are a mix of "ideas don't matter, material conditions matter" hard-left, phenomenology, and social liberal political theory types, and they cover a range of 20th and 21st century philosophy topics. They try to stay accessible to people without a philosophical background, with varying degrees of success, but are consistently a fun listen.
