A cross between the Gabfests and Planet Money
I only started listening to these because they’re in my Slate+ feed. It has a similar format to a lot of the other Slate podcasts- three segments, three people talking about the topics, but at the end they have their “numbers round” instead of recommendations, which to me seems like a direct knock-off of the Planet Money Indicator, but is nice enough.

I think it should probably try to go more in the Gabfest direction and make an hour-long podcast instead of the measly half hour and take on some more contentious issues to differentiate itself more from its competitors.
