| 397 | 2010-01-01 | 2010 At the start of a new year, journalistic outfits put out lots of mealy "perhaps oil prices will rise or perhaps they won't" predictions for the coming year. Instead of that, we asked our contributors to predict real events that will happen to them and the people they know in 2010. | 00:57:52 |
| 398 | 2010-01-08 | Long Shot Stories of people betting on something with very bad odds, mostly because they have no other choice. | 00:58:02 |
| 399 | 2010-01-22 | Contents Unknown A man named David Maclean finds himself in a train station in India, with no idea how he got there or who he is.

Plus other stories of filling in the blank. | 00:58:50 |
| 400 | 2010-02-12 | Stories Pitched by Our Parents For our 400th show, we try something harder than anything we've ever tried in the previous 399. We take the random ideas that members of our own families have told us at weddings and family gatherings would be "perfect for the show"...and we actually try to make those ideas into stories. | 01:02:02 |
| 401 | 2010-02-19 | Parent Trap Stories about parents setting accidental traps for their children, and sometimes for themselves, including a story from WNYC's Radiolab about a chimp raised twice—once as a human child, and again as a chimp. | 00:57:50 |
| 402 | 2010-03-12 | Save the Day Stories about one person single-handedly taking charge of a situation gone wrong—including one man's mission to rescue two kids who were kidnapped by alleged murderers and taken to Mexico, and another about a professor's mission to keep the educators of a liberal arts college from extinction. | 00:57:48 |
| 403 | 2010-03-26 | NUMMI A car plant in Fremont California that might have saved the U.S. car industry. In 1984, General Motors and Toyota opened NUMMI as a joint venture. Toyota showed GM the secrets of its production system: How it made cars of much higher quality and much lower cost than GM achieved. Frank Langfitt explains why GM didn't learn the lessons—until it was too late. | 01:01:35 |
| 404 | 2010-04-02 | Enemy Camp 2010 Living behind enemy lines, among the enemy, it's sometimes hard to remember why you're fighting in the first place. | 00:58:02 |
| 405 | 2010-04-09 | Inside Job For seven months a team of investigative journalists from ProPublica looked into a story for us, the inside story of one company that made hundreds of millions of dollars for itself while worsening the financial crisis for the rest of us. | 00:59:41 |

This and other stories where we stop before getting to the other side. | 00:57:45 |
| 408 | 2010-05-21 | Island Time Unprecedented amounts of money have been pledged to Haitian relief in the last few months. American households have given over $1 billion and in March, 120 countries pledged over $9 billion(!) to rebuild. The only problem is that—historically—blanketing a country in aid and money has never really worked so well. Is there a chance this time things could be different? | 00:58:18 |
| 409 | 2010-06-04 | Held Hostage A kidnapping victim in Colombia spends his nights listening to a radio station that plays messages from the families of the kidnapped. That and other stories of people held captive—by criminals, by paperwork, and in one man's case, his own body—and the ways they try to cope. | 00:57:36 |
| 410 | 2010-06-18 | Social Contract Richard Ravitch has helped fix three governmental crises, including when New York City nearly went bankrupt in 1975.

| 413 | 2010-07-30 | Georgia Rambler In the 1970s a reporter named Charles Salter wrote a column for the Atlanta Journal called "Georgia Rambler." He'd get into his car, head out to some small town, and ask around until he found a story. This week, nine of us go to Georgia to try it out for ourselves, in small towns all over the state. | 00:58:15 |
| 414 | 2010-08-10 | Right to Remain Silent Stories about people who have the right to remain silent... but choose not to exercise that right—including police officer Adrian Schoolcraft, who secretly recorded his supervisors telling officers to manipulate crime statistics and make illegal arrests. The Village Voice series that broke Schoolcraft's story, written by Graham Rayman, is here. | 00:58:01 |

But when push comes to shove and they have to choose a candidate, their ideologies, their principles and their friendship explode. | 00:58:15 |
| 418 | 2010-11-05 | Toxie In January 2010, reporters from Planet Money bought a toxic asset—you know, the things that blew up wall street banks, sank the economy and brought the global financial system to a halt—one of those. And "Toxie" turned out to be an encyclopedia of the financial crisis. Here's an animation about Toxie. And here's an interactive timeline tracking its value. | 00:58:11 |
| 419 | 2010-11-12 | Petty Tyrant In Schenectady, NY, a school maintenance man named Steve Raucci works his way up the ranks for 30 years, until finally he's in charge of the maintenance department.
