The Freakonomics series on airlines was really great, probably my all round favourite this year.

Freakonomics is so consistently good. Dubner is one of the best interviewers out there. Great follow-up questions that force the guest to elaborate on or defend their positions. So many other interviewers in the business/econ/investing space just lob softballs.
Also worth highlighting the deep research involved in each episode and Dubner's ability to scope out different points of views from credible people.
Private jets one was good too
