[Podcasts] Best Fantasy Actual Play Podcasts out there? (some requirements inside)

As the title suggests, I am looking for some podcasts that do APs in fantasy rpgs. I like streams/VoD better, normally, but I have found some really good podcasts (two, to be exact) that I listen to now on the commute. Soon I will be done with what is published for both of those, though.

The two podcasts are:

Turncloaks (DnD 5e) : gritty and dark DnD style storytelling by Encounter Roleplay (they have lots of streamed games as well).
Godsfall (DnD 5e) : high fantasy (with characters being ascending demigods/godlings).

What I like about them is that they both have :

1) high production value (aka good microphones and therefore good voice-quality AND nice background music and/or sounds/special-effects)
2) overall pretty serious in-character gaming throughout the recordings. Not much banter in between and not much joking around either (Godsfall has some episodes where it fails on that a bit, but overall it's ok).

Both of those points are pretty important to me. Background special-effects is not a must have, neither is music, necessarily, but i need good audio quality at least (listening on the commute). The seriousness is also important to me. If it's lots of goofing around an not much immersion into character, I can't dive into the narrative myself.
Fantasy is my preferred genre (But feel free to sell me on a podcast that brings all the above to the table but is set in a different genre ;-) ).

Are there more of these kinds of podcasts out there? If so, please let me know.

I do know of Critical-Role but CR is first and foremost a VoD/live-Twitch show and I prefer to watch CR.

Thanks in advance for any and all pointers!

Thanks for the link, Morrus. And while i appreciate it (and am already mining it for ideas), I'd still love some more input from the community (bonus-points if the recommendations meet my criteria), especially since the long list in that thread contains talk-podcasts and other stuff as well.

I'm explicitly looking for Actual Play podcasts. With the added specifications of my OP.

So if anyone feels like adding to this thread, please feel free. While the 99 podcasts are a lot, the list is (certainly?!) not exhaustive ;-)

Thanks!
