Title: NPR's Planet Money is doing an episode about bitcoin soon
Post by: Capitan on June 18, 2011, 10:25:22 PM
This is a great podcast, and they announced earlier this week that they are doing an upcomming episode on bitcoin. It should be pretty interesting because they usually go in depth into their topics. I'm sure they've been reading our posts on this board as part of their research.

Hi, Planet Money, if you're reading this!

Yeah wait until they tell everybody in the US about how some moron lost 25K BTC and how people buy scaaaaary drugs with it and how multiple congresspeople want to make it illegal.

Gonna be a great broadcast  ::)

Planet Money is one of my favorite podcasts.

They interviewed me when I was in France, and I hope I didn't say anything too stupid. They seemed "appropriately skeptical."

seems like npr is pretty fair balanced, however. They will mention all the risks but will also note the potential of the currency.
