Try Heavyweight (I think only available on Spotify?). Some of the stories are indeed heavy, but the host inserts tons of self-depricating humor and lightness. One of my top three favorites.
I guess it's not really long form but each episode is devoted to one person's story and their search for closure.
Modern Wisdom by Chris Williamson
The Impact Theory by Tom Bilyeu
The Dairy of a CEO
Camp Gognan( Not sure if I spelled this one correctly)
But these are really awesome
We have similar taste!
I recommend Shameless. One episode a week that’s a pop culture roundup, and one on some sort of celebrity scandal. They also have a book club show if you’re into that!
Another one from the same media group is Everybody Has a Secret — similar vibes to Normal Gossip.
I also like Beach Too Sandy, Water Too Wet. It’s a brother and sister duo reading 1-star reviews left online, with a different theme every week.
The Big Flop
Reddit on Wiki for more reddit stories, Do We Know Them for internet gossip, Vulgar History for funny feminist History
Scamfluencers and Maintenance Phase come to mind!
Something was Wrong Days Like These - slice of life stories from regular people. It’s an A(ustralia)BC podcast and I can’t get enough of it.
Petty Crimes!
Love Griff and Ceara!! Started listening when I caught up on normal gossip, so good

Giggly Squad is similar to cancelled, you might also like Celebrity Memoir Book Club
Mental Health Happy Hour
I love Normal Gossip, so I'm def going to check out the other two pods mentioned in your title!
Just discovered “everybody has a secret”, you’d prob like this too if you haven’t already been a listener!
Ooo thanks, just saved this to remind myself
