Please don’t recommend Ajahn Brahm, Thanisarro Bhikkhu, or The English Monk. I am already familiar with them.
Good speaker, native English speaker, not monotone, not dry, emphasizes meditation, insight and jhana.

Clear Mountain Monastery. I’m really loving their 10 minute majjhima and they have some good guest interviews.

Luang por Kalyano, Luang por Sumado, Luang por Sona, Ajahn Amaro, Luang por Passano, (all of Luang por Passano’s monastics at Abayagiri give short talks which definately have some of the bitter medicine in there and are beneficial) Bhante Sujato (talks on metta continue to brighten this mind and inspire). Ayya Suddhāso and Ayyā Somā from buddhist insights give frequent talks. When answering questions on Monk chat Ayya Suddhāso does not mince words, if you require some samvega there is no shortage here. Venerable Mettaji from BSWA recently gave a great talk on phenomenology. If you would like any other ideas please pm me.
Bhikkhu Bodhi, the accumulated videos of his classes in MN and AN?
Yes! I really enjoy them, too! Always a topic to hand when one needs a bit of advice.

Ajahn Jayasaro has long been a favorite of mine. I always learn something practical from his talks and Q&As.

I’ve really enjoyed Ajhan Brahmali’s talks. I can also highly recommend Ayya Vayama’s talks. Sadly, she has passed away, but I still listen to her helpful talks because of their clarity and relevance: https://bswa.org/teachings/?teacher=575

Ajaan Suchart Abhijato and Ajaan Paññāvaḍḍho, both from the Thai Forest tradition. The former is Thai but has very good English and there are many videos and audio tracks available. The latter is a native English speaker and there is some audio available (as well as an excellent e-book Uncommon Wisdom).
Both talk very good sense in my opinion regarding both purpose and practice.

…and of course if you want audio only there is a huge archive of Ayya Khema’s dhamma talks. Not native but with a very good command of English and able to easily discuss subtle concepts.
