Sci show and ASAP science are my go-tos. You’ll have to really preview the ASAP science stuff though - sometimes it’s a little more “adult” oriented.
Tyler Dewitt and Paul Anderson are also great.

I just found Huge If True, and it's really entertaining! The two episodes I watched contained actual interviews with scientists to go along with animations and such. I plan on using it in the classroom soon.

Ann Reardon can be quite fun with some of her experiments and debunking, but her husband gives me massive creepy vibes.

I am a PhD chemist and former professor, and I have a science podcast on YouTube. It has a variety of episodes that incorporate STEM topics into the day-to-day topics kids encounter. There's content for all age groups, and I also have informational episodes on topics such as how to choose a college, what is grad school in STEM, etc.
I do this for outreach, so it is ad free and not monetized. Makes it easier to listen in the classroom or at home with kids without annoying ad interruptions.

I really like Kursgesagt for setting the stage for a lesson.
Amoeba sisters are good for a lot of high school biology topics.
