I'm a big fan too, but beware of his pretty bog standard reading of history. For instance, he makes plenty of insinuations in the Supernova series about how the US basically had to nuke Japan because they were so fanatical.

I'm not sure what is meant by impactful, but for me the most interesting podcasts this year have all been miniseries, namely

* 13 Minutes to the Moon (13 episodes) - a documentary about the 13 minutes leading up to the first moon landing

* The Drop Out (8 episodes) - a documentary about Theranos/Elizabeth Holmes

* The Missing CryptoQueen (10 episodes) - a documentary about the OneCoin scam and how far it has reached, along with the disappearance of its founder.

In terms of stand out episodes:

* Supernova in the East III (Hardcore History) - a continuation of the 'Supernova' series, I recommend listening to the first 2 though.
