Looking for some Japanese podcasts for an intermediate listener (or other audio focused medium)

I’m decently far along my japanese learning journey, and recently I’ve been wanting to improve my listening as I found a group of japanese friends in VR that I’ve started talking to multiple times a week. I’ve torn through the classics, teppei, yuyu, haruka, and the like. But recently I tried listening to a podcast not aimed at Japanese learners that was recommended on this subreddit many moons ago, 4989 American Life. It’s awesome. I really want to start listening to more content like this that’s aimed at natives but is simple in nature and has clean pronunciation, as a bridge. The reason I like specifically audio only stuff is that I go on long walks and hikes and that is the perfect time for getting some listening in. I know podcasts aren’t quite as popular in Japan as they are in the states, but does anyone have anything they listen to that might fit the bill? Thanks 🙏
