If you want sci-fi I would suggest the 1950s radio show Dimension X and the later version of it. These take stories from sci-fi magazines of the era adapt them for audio. They've got a heck of a lot of giants from the era and tbqh as an old boomer, this is when people were actually smart. Virtually every idea in sci-fi that you've ever heard of, they had done it better by the early 1950s. No hyperbole. You will recognize many concepts concepts that your zoomer butt thought were at least from my generation and they were fully developed by then.
Available from the Internet Archive.
As audio you can listen to these when doing cooking, cleaning, whatever physical labor. Perfect for when you're making lunch.
!trekkies It might blow your fricking minds but most of Star Trek was, as the old man always dismissively said, "derivative". Every possible idea in sci-fi was fully developed by about 1955. Fortunately I got wise and came back and said "yeah well frick you, Shakespeare was derivative".

How is it not obvious that most original series episodes are "I read an interesting short story last month"?

Doesn't have the guts to do what? He called you derivative. That's the greatest violence you can inflict on another person.

He doesn't have the guts to call me derivative, just like his son who has to defer to his father to make indirect limp-wristed jabs at strangers
