Well, a few I listen to regularly include Science Friday, Short Wave, No Stupid Questions, Freakonomics, & The Joy of Why.
And my fav: The Skeptics Guide to the Universe! This one is independently produced and gets a bit chatty / informal at times, but power through; they also deliver plenty of fantastic content. They cover science and technology through the lens of "scientific skepticism." What this means is you will not only get the latest science, you'll also learn how to evaluate headlines, how to think about scientific studies, how to separate truth from hype, and most importantly how to recognize and avoid pseudoscience, quackery, scams, and the like. Episodes include news, interviews, "logical fallacies", and fun games such as "Who's that Noisy" and "Science or Fiction." You'll be highly entertained and you'll learn a ton - what else could you ask for? New episodes come out every Saturday, and they're coming up on number 1,000, so you know it's got to be good!

I think since it's pretty consistent and based on recent events, I'd say start with the most recent episode and work backwards from there (if you don't want to wait a week for the next one to come out.) Also, they have detailed episode descriptions on the website so you could browse there to see which episodes address topics that pique your interest. For example, in this week's episode they covered new tech in car batteries, which I find very interesting.
