With some application to Bible interpretation.

John McWhorter's excellent podcast, my top recommendation for those who want to learn language in the easiest and funnest way:
βœ… booksmartstudios.org/p/lexicon-valley

A nerdier but amazingly excellent podcast that is also helpful for those wanting a feel for how English words come to mean what they do:
βœ… historyofenglishpodcast.com

I believe I have listened to every single episode of both of the above podcasts.
