I've been really into politics and government lately, I'd recommend the following podcasts in the genre. I cannot provide links as I'm on mobile but a Google search should suffice.
The Weeds by Vox Media, this is a more 'wonk' and policy based podcast which also focuses on the latest news. This year their focus has been not surprisingly going into the finer details of ACA and Tax reform.
More Perfect by WNYC, this is a spin off podcast from the Radiolab folks which focuses on important supreme Court cases, this podcast features audio from oral arguments and interviews with folks involved in these landmark cases.
