Suggestions for high quality podcasts that can act as a source of intelligent discussions on current affairs, politics, foreign policy, economy etc?

[Digigear]

I am looking for high quality sources of actually informative intellectually unbiased and rich discussions involving expert guests and/or other interesting persona capable of level-headed conversations. I prefer the podcast format, but can also do with YouTube channels that do this. The way the Indian media operates discourages me from even wanting to be informed but obviously I don't want to be uninformed, so I'm seeking the best alternatives out there. Inputs appreciated!

For Indian news, I would suggest you check out News Laundry. They have specific daily news podcasts among others. You can also support them directly and access more content which might be behind the paywall.
