Until a few months ago I was quite a fan of Enormocast and listened to all of them in full. But lately I am finding the guests boring and Kalous' style increasingly annoyingly. I get the impression, right now, that Black Diamond is picking his guests.
My understanding was that EL compared MAW (Max. added weight) followed by MED (Min. edge depth) and the reverse i.e. MED followed by MAW, and compared the two. I didn't think she'd done MAW vs. MED (am I remembering this correctly?).

I found the last James Lucas one quite funny, have you listened to that one?
It would be like Janet and Michael Jackson in the same room. Magic could happen...

Meanwhile, somehow, despite Neely Quinn being a terrible interviewer, the Trainingbeta podcast has scored several great interviewees, like Ondra and Bill Ramsay.
https://www.trainingbeta.com/media/steve-bechtel-2/The latest trainingbeta podcast with Steve Bechtel is a good one I think. It's quite wide-ranging but he has some thoughts on movement and behaviour change which are much more interesting than (yet) another fingerboard routine (sorry Nibs!). Still not totally convinced by the interviewer but perhaps I can't hear past the accent. She certainly gets some good interviewees. Alex Barrows hasn't put her off Brits either: Tom Randall, Steve Maclure, and Dave Macleod coming up.

Here's Steve McClure on being weak but naturally light and not training systematically. The bit with Steve in English is from about 18:00 to 45:00

That said, it can be quite entertaining listening to her struggle. The Isabelle Faus one is a classic in that genre.

That was great. Funny and serious in about equal measure.

I just stumbled over the now ended "Basecamp" series of podcasts from the Banff Centre. Many of the usual suspects interviewed on there: Caldwell, Honsolo, etc. The interviewer is very low key, almost to the point where he just seems to be reading out a list of pre-prepared questions without any effort at logical segues. But I think I prefer that to Chris Kalous' lengthy pre-ambles. Two stand-outs for me, neither climbing stars in the normal sense:Ed DouglasKatie Ives (editor of Alpinist)
