I need some new science podcasts

For the past 5-6 years I've been in the habit of falling asleep every night listening to podcasts. I have several podcasts I listen to regularly: Making Sense with Sam Harris, Skeptic's Guide the Universe, The Naked Scientists, Quirks And Quarks, Sawbones, and Gastropod. But I find myself running out of things to listen to, especially in the middle of the week, since new content is released on weekends.
I prefer science podcasts that are more lighthearted but still have serious discussion matter. Skeptic's Guide is the perfect science podcast IMO- the hosts have great chemistry, a good sense of humor, and the level of discussion is perfect for the average consumer with a college-level science education.
Any recommendations? Of course I have googled it but sometimes there are good new ones that haven't gained popularity yet.

Philosophy-related podcasts may also be acceptable.

Here's a really far out science youtube channel, focusing on theoretical science and futurology type stuff: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZFipeZtQM5CKUjx6grh54g/videos
-------------------- Don't worry about me, I've got all that I need. And I'm singing my song to the sky You know how it feels, With the breeze of the sun in your eyes. Not minding that time's passing by I've got all and more, My smile, just as before. Is all that I carry with me I talk to myself, I need nobody else. I'm lost and I'm mine, yes I'm free

I'm a big fan of "Science vs" which is well researched and tends to be fun/funny. I also like "This Week in Virology" which is a bit too on-topic these days.
I don't know if "More Perfect" from RadioLab counts as philosophy, but they went through a bunch of supreme court decisions and talk about why and how they were made the way they wore, and I thought that was an outstanding podcast while it lasted!
