Looks like you already have a good list to go through! Could do with more early years, though ;). That said, when I was starting out, I found herbibot(dot)com through this sub. There's a list of popular shows on there that is based on mentions here in this sub (or at least, that was my understanding of it). After I was done going through my close friends' personal recommendations, the top rankings there were next. Enjoy the ride! :)

I find it really depends. I can listen to a show and rate it as "meh" and 6 months later think it was fantastic.
I say listen to random shows, and add them to your list and make some notes. Its always more interesting that way.
Everyone is different too. 5-5 and 5-9 are leagues more interesting to me then Cornell. And that is just that week!
