Yes, I think it's called the Naked Scientists Podcast (https://www.thenakedscientists.com/podcasts)!

Thanks but this is for kids, it says why wombat crap is square.

I want to know about new devices, technologies, methods, research.

I found this snippet of information very useful in a conversation about 2 weeks ago - one of my colleagues has a property with lots of wombats, and another colleague asked "How do you know?"...

But among the wombat poo on The Naked Scientists, you will find a summary of interesting current research.

If you want something a bit more serious, you could try:
