I am delighted by this rec for Starship Iris and also the podcasts people are suggesting in the comments!
My found family in space podcast rec would be Wolf 359 which starts off kind of rough, but matures pretty rapidly into tightly plotted, Things Are Getting Ominous adventures on a creaky old space station surrounding a mysterious star, with lots of fun and interesting (and heart wrenching, I definitely cried at a couple of points (over boring work tasks which puzzled my coworkers somewhat...)) character development and interactions. It’s not Emphatically representative in nearly the same way, though (I think it finishes with only one outright canonically queer character, for instance), but I loved it a lot.
