The main fiction podcast I listen to is The Truth, which starts in media res with characters talking BUT then it pulls out Twilight Zone-style to the host, who sets up the world a little bit and gives you a good sense of what you're in for. They're generally really well-written, well-acted, and I'd recommend trying a few. You may also like some of their multi-part series, like "The Off Season."
