I’m a longtime TAL fan. The current episode is a great summary of the subprime mortgage crisis. It’s still available for a free download. If you don’t know anything about the problem, this is a great easy to understand intro:

I’ve been a long-time fan of this show, it’s really great! If you search the archives, there’s a show from several years back called “A Teenager’s Guide To God” that follows a group of teens on a mission trip in West Virginia. It’s an absolutely fascinating secular look at a religious right of passage, and also examines how the trip reinforced the faith of some kids while leading others to more questions than before. I recommend that episode most highly.
