Here are some more: Defending Democracy - This is a new podcast from Marc Elias and the Democracy Docket team.

On YouTube there is a channel called Politicon. I like On the Move with Victor Shi and iGen Politics with Victor Shi and Jill Wine-Banks. Victor was incredible working with his group, Voters of Tomorrow, in registering young voters & getting them to the polls. Also Glenn Kirschner is great on his Justice Matters podcast, which is also on YouTube.
