I looked, and there's more than 1000 available episodes of IOT on the BBC, they're all (at least every one I've heard) brilliant.

I'm curious if anyone here has any particular favourites?

I remember really enjoying the Plankton episode because it took me the classic IOT route of "That doesn't sound interesting, but I'll give it a listen" to looking up all the reading list.

There is an episode on the Epic of Gilgamesh which is absolutely fascinating. Highly recommended.

Yes, that one was the first I thought of as well.
