Not much of a podcast guy, but this one sounded too good: ā€œthe true story behind the groundbreaking 1972 study ā€˜The Limits to Growth’, and why the world ignored its message.ā€
Basically, these researchers developed a computer model in 1972 that said unless significant changes to our daily lives were made, humans were going to overpopulate the planet and start seeing horrific resource scarcity within 30-40 years. They were ignored and called kooks, but like… look around you.
Haven’t started it yet, but it’s open on my computer so I don’t forget the title!

Diving into a seemingly mundane topic but turns out the history and/or impact of it is way more than you’d expect. Definitely fits your request the best out of the podcasts I know.

It’s great for curious people, and the sound design is awesome. They explore…everything.
I listened to these two today (1 and 2) and I can’t wait for more.
