This American Life/Radiolab-alikes?

I like TAL and Radiolab a lot, anything else out there similar? 99% Invisible is one, but the episodes are very short. Any recommendations?

Whenever TAL does anything related to the economy, e.g. their episode on Toxic Assets, it's in collaboration with the people behind the NPR Planet Money podcast. The style is similar, and I give that podcast a lot of credit for helping me figure out just what the heck was going on in world economies over the last few years.

From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

Freakanomics is worth listening to also.

The episode length varies a lot but it's always interesting
