Spotify podcasts where I can learn, no chat or loud noises/music

Hey all. I would appreciate any recommendations for a specific type of podcast I’m looking for. I understand my filters may be a bit narrow, but I hope maybe some people still have recs.

What I’m looking for:
-Learning. Factual. Genre is broad: history, animals, nature, environment, finance, interesting facts
-An organized delivery, as opposed to a discussion or chat. Basically one person just talking to me, almost like reading an essay
-I would not mind dry, calm, “boring” delivery

What I’m not looking for:
-Sports, fiction storytelling like myths, paranormal, murder. (I already have Medical Murders and Casefile True Crime, which are great.)
-People casually chatting and laughing, cacophony, loud or jarring sounds or music. I mostly want facts delivered efficiently.

I like Boring History for Sleep. I love the deep dives, thorough research, and their calming voice. It is one person narrating. It is great for sleep, but I noticed they have a lot of filler repetitive sentences like they are trying to make it purposefully long, obviously to help people sleep. I am looking for something more concise and to the point that I can listen to during the day.

I like 99% Invisible so far. There is a little back-and-forth between people, but it’s mostly one informed person presenting information with bits of interview clips.

I tried Strange by Nature and Stuff You Should Know, but as soon as I sampled episodes, I was hit by loud chatter and laughter and musical transitions.

Thank you in advance for your help.
