I haven't listened to these yet but this podcast was mentioned in some video I watched and I thought it might be of interest to folks: https://www.everythingisalive.com/about

A person interviews objects about themselves. From the clips I heard it's very podcast conversational which I think is such a cool treatment for the subject.
