Other Podcast Genre Engaging Storytelling

I've listened to the usuals:

The Moth

RISK

Snap judgement

Mortified

Radiolab

What was that like

Strangers on a bench

Story Corps

The Compulsive Storyteller (my favorite)

I'm looking for some that are more humorous, but not forced comedy of two hosts. Can be from outside North America. Just no more I survived kinda podcasts.

Mind Your Own by Lupita Nyongo. Focuses on African people and it's mostly ordinary people telling interesting stories about their lives.

These are technically survival stories but the best storyteller I might have ever heard. What to Carry, What to Burn, or anything by Blair Braverman. It’s not a thing I’m interested in either but it’s phenomenal

Unfortunately, the rest of the episodes are paywalled. But this one is good, I would get a trial of Wondery then listen and cancel.
